I've been to every state and it is Gary, IN by a landslide. Followed by Camden, NJ, Aberdeen, WA and whatever the name of that city is that has a coal mine fire burning underneath it.

I don't care if it's tiny, it's the one city too loving corrupt for Florida. A speed trap town that makes Waldo and Starke look positively idyllic. It's Hampton, FL. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/09/us/hampton-florida-corruption/ So corrupt the state missed disincorporating them by only 2 votes. They were about to kick everyone the gently caress out and level the place because of how lovely everyone there was. TOO lovely FOR FLORIDA. Let that one sink in.

flint is terrible, worse than detroit. detroit has some sights and nice burroughs at least, and the surrounding towns have everything. houston is worse than detroit too. actually really shocked someone who hasn't been to detroit hasn't already said detroit

Gary seems to be the winner but im gonna go ahead and put East St. Louis, IL in the hatWikipedia posted:According to FBI's data of 2007, the murder rate of East St. Louis hit 101.9 per population of 100,000, surpassing that of cities such as Gary, Indiana (48.3 per pop. 100,000); New Orleans, Louisiana (37.6); Baltimore, Maryland (43.3); and Detroit, Michigan (47.3); as well as that of its neighbor St. Louis (37.2). FBI data shows East St. Louis' rate of rape exceeded 250 per population of 100,000. The murder rate of city of East St. Louis is even higher than that of Honduras, the country with the highest murder rate in the world, at 90.4 per 100,000 people.[19] Lufiron fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Mar 31, 2015 |

This guy is presenting some pretty compelling stuff here...Gary is awful I agree but this one needs attention "You can lay claim to a 1,260-foot stretch of busy highway a mile outside of town and set up one of the nation's most notorious speed traps. You can use the ticket money to build up a mighty police force -- an officer for every 25 people in town -- and, residents say, let drugs run rampant while your cops sit out by the highway on lawn chairs, pointing radar guns at everybody who passes by.

No one here has been to Canton, OH apparently. My old job has a building in the old part of town which we affectionately refer to as "Little Sarajevo." What a loving dump.

Um, I think you mean Oakland is where all the actual fun in the bay area happens and San Francisco is full of white tech nerds tripping over themselves to buy expensive drinks poured by an org chem dropout for Asian girls.

KiteAuraan posted:Surprise, Arizona. Imagine a city of 250,000 where 3/4ths are retired old whites and white flight. 99% of the restaurants are chains and one museum closed to become a Salvation Army, while another closed to become an office. Truly Hell. Pfffffft. All the small towns that are amalgamated into the Phoenix metropolitan hivemind are fine in that anytime you wanna go do something you hop on the 10 or the 101 and get out of your shitburg to somewhere slightly less shitburg. The real answer is Amarillo, Texas. All the worst aspects of Texas bundled with it being in a prime position for annoying ball sweat heat in the summer and sideways death ice rain in the winter. Plus none of your favorite restaurant franchises are there because Amarillo hates food workers unions. ALSO nothing but cheap terrible steak, railroad crazies and cattle auctions as far as the eye can see. Globe, Arizona would be a close second if I even considered that a real place and not just some sort of biological mishap. Commissar Ken fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Mar 31, 2015 |
