Least stressful city

Virginia Beach wins!!!

Quote:

Stress is becoming the nation's newest health problem. But you can put your worries aside. A new study by Bizjournals, the online media division of American City Business Journals, recently named Virginia Beach "America's Least Stressful Metropolitan Area."

Virginia Beach earned its place as the least stressful metropolitan area by having great air quality, low crime rates, stable employment, and strong income growth. "Visitors come here to 'Live the Life.'

The same holds true for businesses coming to Virginia Beach," said Economic Development Director Warren Harris. "People want to work in a place that offers a high quality of life-less stress with great economic conditions."

Bizjournals used a 10-part formula to rank stress levels in 50 leading metros using the following indicators: air quality, sunshine, robberies, murders, unemployment rates, income growth, commute times, families living below the poverty level, housing costs, and deaths from circulatory-system diseases.

North VA Beach is the best.:fdance:

I have a sister who's moving to the south end. Just what I'd want, to live under the Oceana jets. Dumb, dumb, dumb.:notallthere:
