What's your least favorite city in America?

[banditbdl]

I remember feeling like I was trapped in a giant stip mall that never ends when I was in Spokane.

Lake Forest, Illinois.

This is full of the snobbiest people that I've ever met. The kids drive BMW's and Porches; it's like Laguna Beach except colder.

What's the specific beef with Seattle?

[/ QUOTE ]

I hate the downtown area, it feels so dirty/dark/dank/just generally not good. I just hate it for being a cut-rate Vancouver really. Everything about Seattle is sort of Vancouver-lite, and I hate that everyone says "oh it's just like Vancouver!" when it's really awful. Personal reasons as well, I hate all the people I've ever had to work with there, etc, etc.

Good point about Spokane, I haven't been there in a long time, I forgot what a real piece of [censored] it is.

[Wes ManTooth]

in the bigger cities there are at least some decent parts to live in...

Cities like,
Camden, NJ
Homer, AK
Jackson, MS

are all horrible

The only time I've ever just been nervous because of my surroundings all the way through a stay was in Gary, Indiana. Ugly, ugly town.

I really don't know how anybody could say DC with a straight face. As mentioned by a previous poster, it just has too much fine culture to rank anywhere in the bottom. I am not making any defense for its people, crime rate, or general cleanliness, but I do think that the museums and monuments make up for a lot.

DC sucks because...

1) It is the center of government coercion.
2) It is filled with scumbag politicians.
3) There is no culture in Southern MD/Northern VA except American (BASEBALL! HOT DOGS!) culture... which sucks.
4) Actually there is a ton of 'urban' culture ("wiggers" perhaps... I don't have a problem with this except they are trying too hard to convey an image... much like politicians).
5) Tons of crime and overall destitution.

there's nothing ironic about you saying that gary indiana is an ugly town, even though your name is gary.

[SomethingClever]

This time of year... Corvallis, OR.

Well, it wasn't profound or anything, but there has to be some small irony in that of all the people who could tell you Gary is a hellhole, it was the one named Gary who thought to mention it.
