Preying on the civic competitiveness that compels us to click on such arbitrary rankings, Forbes recently released a list of "America's Most Stressful Cities." Surprisingly, Kansas City fared pretty well.

The ranking took into account unemployment, property values and even the number of sunny days in each city. Based on Forbes' number-crunching, Kansas City landed at number 36 of the nation's 40 biggest metros. (And, yes, St. Louis is more stressful, coming in at 23.)
Yeah, some dude
pulled a knife while robbing a Best Western on the Plaza last night. Sure, the
number of vacant lots in the urban core has doubled in the past year. And the political fireworks over
how to manage our ambulance service are enough to
spark a spectacular house fire.
Hmmm. Guess we must have a lot of sunny days.
