Most stressful cities? Life in Baltimore is far better than the annoyance and mess of New York

Forbes magazine got it wrong again when it listed Charm City as one of the most stressful cities to live in.

I lived in Hampden for almost six years during the 1980s. As a proud son of the County of Kings (otherwise known as Brooklyn, N.Y.), New York City remains the center of mishigas and its related cousins, annoyance and unnecessary mess.

My wife and I hope to return to her native Baltimore as soon as she is done with her medical residency in the city.
