Stockton is hood no doubt.. South Side, North Side, East Side all have some slum areas.. actually most are slummy...
but this list isnt just saying what city is the roughest.. it's saying miserable, worst to live in..
probably taking into consideration the housing costs, employment opportunities, weather, school districts, crime rates, recreation, nightlife, etc. I got love for Stockton and am out there at least twice a week.. but a lot of stockton is depressing as fuck, ain't shit there but poor ass people with not much opportunity for improvement.....
