Chula Vista deemed the worst staycation spot
Mosquitoes in Cleveland, heat in Bakersfield considered in study?
WalletHub, which compiles statistics on cities, metro areas, and states, is out with a study measuring the best and worst cities for staycations, or periods in which the family stays home, sleeping in their own beds, but enjoying local recreation the rest of the time.
I have to argue with this one. Of 150 cities, Chula Vista comes out last, topped by such garden spots as Newark, Jersey City, El Paso, and Bakersfield. Huh? San Diego comes in 51st, topped by Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. Double-huh??
The explanation, I suppose, comes in the metrics the panel of scholars used: adjusted for population, number of golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, parks, hiking trails, shopping centers, water parks, water sports, bicycle lanes, museums, zoos and aquariums, cultural attractions, restaurants, and affordable restaurants. Nothing about the rain and mosquitoes in Cleveland or the heat in Bakersfield.
