Do you love living in Chicago? If not, you're not alone.
Forbes ranked Chicago at number four on its list of most miserable cities. The magazine cited a decrease in home prices, long commutes, high foreclosure rates, lousy winters and high migration rate, with 107,000 leaving the city in the past five years, according the Forbes article. 

Forbest looked at the 200 largest metro area to determine its list and chose the most miserable cities based on some of these factors: unemployment, foreclosures, taxes, violent crime, home prices, weather, commute times and net migration.
