city

While there is no city in Massachusetts that ever wants to have this distinction, one city had to end up with this unfortunate title. Even with so many great towns and cities to explore throughout the Bay State, no one place is perfect. And so, of those not-so-perfect cities in the state of Massachusetts, one had to be selected as the 'worst city to live' in the state.

We all know that Massachusetts isn't exactly the biggest piece of land. In fact, when compared to the rest of the states in the U.S., it is the 7th smallest state in the country. The state itself, covers only 10,554.39 square miles. And with that being the case, approximately just 7,800 square miles of that is land (thanks, Atlantic Ocean). Despite that fact, we have some relatively decent sized towns and cities, land-wise. But there is a town and a city that have to take their respective titles of the smallest in the state.

There is no city or town in Massachusetts that wants to have this distinction. Nor is there any city or town anywhere that wants to be called this. But unfortunately, it had to go to some place in the Bay State.
