In San Francisco you can enjoy the clean, ocean air and get a drink of cool, clear water while wiping human feces and urine from your shoes. They must have paid a bundle for 6th place in this survey.

Don't worry, the forbes people forgot to account for the stench of urine on concrete in SF.

I live in Minneapolis and have never seen any of the other areas on the list except for Seattle, but I would have to say both those towns are very clean. Just don't visit Mn in the winter - the snow is all gray and it looks and is dirty.
