What's your least favorite city in America?

El Paso / Las Cruces. The only way I can tell the difference is that El Paso is closer to Juarez.

Do these qualify as cities?

I'd have to say Buffalo. Horrible winters, poverty, corruption, crooked cops, terrible city government, you name it. It's like the whole place was thrust into a permanent state of depression after Super Bowl XXV.

To a certain extent, you have also described every city in NY along I-90, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Schanectady.

I opened this thread in order to contribute the lovely city of Rochester.

I moved out to Rochester a year ago. It's far from great, but it ain't all that bad. There are a couple of rough neighborhoods, but they don't extend all that far. Most of the places I go are fairly safe to walk around at night. The winters haven't been half as bad as Buffalo. Buffalo has two lakes dumping snow on them. Rochester only has one.

I'd like to nominate Pittsburgh, PA. I was there two weekends ago. Every place I went looked like a crime infested dump. On top of that, the roads in that place are a civil engineering nightmare. Ugh. You can't even do simple things like get off the freeway and get right back on. You end up horribly lost going in the wrong direction over some bridge you don't want to be on. Add to that that some of their "on ramps" are nothing more than a stop sign with a right turn that puts you immediately into 60 MPH traffic. Yuck.

Detroit for sure.

Put me down too for Detroit. I had a 3 week training course, and the area was so bad that our company housed all new employees in a hotel about 40 minutes away from the city. Explanation was that previous groups either got into trouble (i.e. victims of crime) or just complained in general about their surroundings.

Commuting daily on the freeway was horribly depressing (8 mile road is essentially the 8 mile road in the movie). The only thing more depressing - visiting one of their casinos at night.. Picture being in a Vegas casino, but replace the happy drunks with angry drunks and the carefree Vegas gamblers with depressed gamblers risking their paychecks. That's all I remember about Detroit.

On the other hand, Michigan State girls are cool [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Will you people stop with the Springfield, Waltham, Schenectady, Utica stuff....these places aren't "cities."

It's as if I were to list Roslyn or Great Neck or something.

Atlanta. It destroyed its heritage.
