A lot of them are. Can't really blame them. Cleveland used to be one of the biggest cities in the United States. Then they started cross bussing to help racial integration... but most of the rich and middle class families feeling that the schools on the other side of the city were inferior fled the city afraid they're children would be the ones randomly chosen to be "Cross bussed" to the other side of town. The city pretty much lost most of it's middle and upper class.... then the steel mills and other "High end" physical labor jobs closed down... except for the auto industry... which held on for a while but... hey you've seen how that's gone recently. So there are some people bitter about that.
Then you've got the sports teams. Most of Cleveland worships the Cleveland Browns like Europeons love Soccer. The problem is... the Browns were perrenially bad. Then they left the city for Baltimore. They won a superbowl like... a year later... and the expansion team cleveland got back because they admitted the browns shouldn't of left has been one of the worst teams since it's came back... with it's star player being the guy who kicks the ball away when you do bad. Outside of that you've got the Indians and Cavs who are both teams that also always seem to find a way to blow it. Though usually they tend to get a bit farther. So you've got a bunch of bitter Sports fans too.
Really though, cleveland does have some nice stuff. Good Museum (even if it's under construction), good orchestra, always get good shows at the playhouse theatre... it's just other parts can be pretty horrible due to the lack of quality jobs.
