2. Brownsville, Texas
Brownsville, Texas made the list of horrible places to live not so much because of its low home values (9th worst), and moderate unemployment rate (9.4%), or moderate median income ($34,255), but because it is boring.
The summers are long, hot and humid. The winters are cool, dry and windy and it is cloudy much of the year. It is near the Gulf of Mexico and lots of outdoor activities, if you can stand the weather.
