I think the author put his finger on several of Jacksonville's shortcomings: no research university (esp. downtown)(#6), underinvestment in community college (#7), anti-immigrant/refugee attitude (#9)(from elected officials, hopefully not so much the general population).  On the plus side, we do have unusual schools (#8) and craft breweries (#11)!
