citykid09 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 bizjournals.comHouston sweeps up in cleanliness surveyTuesday May 23, 3:36 pm ETHouston has been ranked as the nation's "cleanest city" according to a recent survey conducted by Verizon Information Services.The survey ranked cities based on the number of vendors in the area selling cleaning services via Verizon's SuperPages.com site, an online information directory.According to the company's research, Dallas -- ranked eighth -- was the only other Texas city to make the list. Houston was followed by Los Angeles, Manhattan and Chicago.Verizon Information Services is a division of New York-based Verizon Communications Corp.

KimberlySayWhat Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 That sounds suspiciously jive, but I'll take a look anyway. Houston never ranks at the top of the list of anything positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 The list really is talking about cleaning services be it products or agents who do the actual cleaning so maybe there's more truth to it than we might realize.On just general cleanliness, my experiences show my that Seattle, Denver, San Diego (off the top of my head) are noticeably cleaner as far as cities over 500K are concerned. That said, you'd be amazed by how trashy a lot of cities are. While I doubt Houston is among the five or even ten cleanest cities over 500,000, it certainly isn't among the ten or twenty dirtiest.

WesternGulf Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Good for Houston but this obviously kind of dumb. I wonder why the four largest cities in the country ranked as the top four as the most cleaning vendors according to the yellow pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well, if they can rank us Fattest based on how many fast food listing are in the phone book, I suppose they can use the same criteria for Cleanest. Seems to me that if you combine fast food listings and cleaning services listings, you might also come up with "Laziest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm thinking we need another topic category for "Strange City Rankings". Maybe Houston is so clean because people stay home cleaning instead of trying to learn their way around, which is why it is the hardest city to navigate. Or whatever.

KimberlySayWhat Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 TJones:I know I'm doing my part ! Yeah? I'd think bacon grease would keep a person pretty regular, but not exactly in a good way. But then if you're regular, I suppose that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 If the ranking is based on a large number of cleaning services, wouldn't that indicate that Houston is dirtier than other cities, so it needs more services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
