Stressin' in Chi-town

Maybe this is why crime is so high:

Forbes names Chicago the country's most stressful city



"With 7.3% unemployment and a gallon of gas going for just under four bucks, the Windy City has some economic headwinds that result in a perfect storm for stress. Chi-town’s pollution problems (it ranked No. 7 in terms poor air quality) and lack of breathing room (it's No. 2 in terms of population density) couple to create a Midwestern Molotov cocktail of stress."


Then mix in the fear of being shot in the middle of a gang war, one of the highest sales taxes in the nation, and the Cubs STILL not making it to the World Series and it's a wonder that Chicago doesn't have a higher suicide rate than Japan.
