Not just the city in The World ,Craig!

The world’s most dangerous cities, according to CNN: Karachi, Caracas, Baghdad, Cape Town, Moscow. And Detroit?

CNN explains its methodology: Cited from data collected by Mercer’s latest global report on personal safety and Foreign Policy magazine’s most recent report on murder rates, as well as reports by Forbes and security watchdog Citizen’s Council for Public Security (CCSP), we have compiled a list of those considered among the most dangerous.On April 6, Detroit’s police chief, Warren Evans, reported that homicides fell 25% in the first quarter of 2010 compared with the same period last year. Hours later, however, came sobering news: Five men had been shot, four of them fatally, and police found another man in a burning car, the Detroit News reported.On Tuesday last week, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing presented a $2.9 billion budget that would enable the city to hire 50 new police officers each quarter, starting in July. The police force has been decimated in recent years by budget cuts and retirements. City Councilman Gary Brown, a former top police department official, warned of Bing’s proposed hires, “That’s nowhere near the number of police officers we need to attract businesses and people to the city.”

GWOP staff has compiled a list of America’s most miserable cities to live, in the United States.

Our Misery Measure takes into account unemployment, taxes (both sales and income), commute times, violent crime and how good the cities pro sports teams have been over the past few years. We also factored in weather and pollution. Lastly we considered corruption based on convictions of public officials in each area as tracked by the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice. Any area with a population larger than 240,000 was eligible.

Cleveland takes the top spot in America’s Most Miserable Cities to live in list.

Another Flying Star variant can be built based on the Continental GTC coupe with 560 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.
