CdA Among Worst Cities For Singles

In an article by Kaitlin Dewey/Kiplinger, Coeur d'Alene is listed at No. 10 among the 10 worst cities in the country for singles. The article explains: "Landing on our list of worst cities for singles doesn't necessarily make a city a bad place to live. Far from it. Many of these cities are great for couples, families or retirees, and many offer enviable amenities, from warm weather to low living costs. What these cities don't offer are deep pools of financially attractive singles. Like it or not, when it comes to dating, money matters -- at least to a degree. So while love might ultimately conquer all, a steady paycheck conquers the here and now -- the tab for dinner and the like." You can read what makes Coeur d'Alene unattractive for the single set here. (Jesse Tinsley file photo of the Coeur d'Alene waterfront in winter 2012)

Question: Do you agree that Coeur d'Alene should rank in the Top 10 places in the country to avoid if you're single?
