"While residents in Illinois and Connecticut can't wait to get the hell out of their respective states, turns out the good folks of Buffalo are some of the luckiest in the country. Their city is so amazing, there's no reason to leave. Ever. Unless you're Stevie Johnson. Or Marshawn Lynch. Or the Bills, to play in Toronto.&amp;nbsp;\n\nBut yes, according to a recent study of 100 towns by&amp;nbsp;finance-focused (and in no way football-related) social network,&amp;nbsp;WalletHub, Buffalo, NY is the&amp;nbsp;best city in the U.S. for a staycation. Even if it's not 2008.\n\nBased on criteria that includes the number of swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, and spas, as well as zoos, aquariums, and museums, Buffalo topped a handful of other totally under-appreciated, small-market cities like&amp;nbsp;Minneapolis, Cincinnati (also home to the most golf courses in the country), and Pittsburgh. Not to mention, Omaha (!!).\n\nAnd it flat out pummeled bigger towns like&amp;nbsp;New York, NY (no. 79) and Houston, TX (no. 92), although not sure we needed a study to tell us those two spots were cesspools in July.&amp;nbsp;\n\nAbsolute worst place to&amp;nbsp;stay put this Summer? Chula Vista, CA. We'll let you scroll over the map below to find out why. And to&amp;nbsp;see where your city falls on the list before&amp;nbsp;you skip town on that big Hershey Park getaway.
