Most Sinful U.S. Cities Named

"American cities are falling from grace in each of the seven deadly sins. Forbes.com compiled lists of the some of the winners (or losers, depending on your perspective); they might just surprise you.

If you’re looking for lust, forget Paris. Head west to Denver. And while Los Angeles and Miami might have a high demand for cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, tummy tucks and botox, Salt Lake City took top honors as the vainest city in America.

A predictable guess for America’s greediest city might be New York, but San Jose, Calif. takes the lead with the help of Silicone Valley, which has the most personal fortune per capita. Search engine Google alone has created several thousand stock-option millionaires."

Let's see...

Seattle gets fourth place for "Lust" and "Envy", and third place for "Greed"
Portland ties with San Antonio for second place in "Lust"
San Diego gets tenth for "Gluttony", and ties with Miami and San Jose for "Pride"
Not only does San Jose get tied for tenth in "Pride", but is in FIRST place for "Greed"
Los Angeles gets eighth place for "Greed" and "Pride" (ties for "Pride" with New York City and Virginia Beach)
Riverside, California gets fourth place for "Gluttony"
Las Vegas gets third place for "Sloth"
Oakland gets sixth place for "Wrath"
Dallas gets seventh place for "Greed"
Chicago gets tenth place for "Envy", Phoenix gets sixth place.
Salt Lake City gets fifth in "Lust", seventh in "Envy", and FIRST in "Pride"
Denver gets FIRST in "Lust" and fourth in "Greed",

I vote San Diego for #1 in "Sloth". Laziest darn people I've ever met.

I see nothing wrong with Lust, so it's awesome Denver gets first :)

I dunno if I put much stock in this survey...outside of Chicago, there aren't any cities East of the Mississippi on the list...

Virginia Beach and New York City are west of the Mississippi???

Check the article. There's quite a few Eastern cities, (and a LOT of Southern ones.)

San Antonio as Lust's #2 doesn't surprise me, but Dallas as only #7 in Greed makes me wonder if I've been maligning Dallas all this time. Houston should have been an easy #3 for Wrath, and Austin about #4 in Pride and #5 in Envy.

Huh, seems to me that lust and greed would be #1 in Las Vegas (my current residence). Seriously, have they seen the size of our casinos and strip clubs? ;)
