Worst cities in America

[RamziD]

Any city in the South

The most garbage city I've ever visited is Newark, New Jersey.

Seriously - it's like a third world country.

Always has been. Grew up half an hour from there, but there are worse cities nearby, such as Elizabeth, NJ.

Have you been to SF recently? If not you might be surprised and not in a good way.

It’s only been about 5 years. But we are in tourist areas. Fish Wharf, Knob hill and spent a few days in Napa

It’s only been about 5 years.

I go there 3/4 times a year. 5 years - that place has changed. The amount of homeless up big time. Garbage everywhere. It is a shocking deterioration for a great town.

New York one of my favorite city’s to visit. Chicago and San Francisco not far behind.

I live right outside NYC can confirm it's definitely nicer than it gets credit for. But like any other city u stumble in to the wrong hoods and it's not as nice.

It's growth is part of the problem. Haven't you noticed that they can't keep up with the rise in traffic? Haven't you noticed that the overall demeanor of the DFW population is getting less polite and friendly? Granted, it's still a far cry better than most places. If I have to live in a highly populated urban environment, I'd still choose the DFW, but I've been considering moving beyond the outskirts of the metroplex just to get away from the sheer numbers.

I’ve been living outside for years now. But compared to other metros like in Houston in the south it’s still the best IMO. The older I get the less I want to drive or have patience for big city congestion on a regular basis but I still enjoy the access.

NYC Manhattan is beautiful as long as you don't veer north of Central Park.

Brilliant, and I concur fully.

Very bogus tweet being it's from Cowboys Nation. Exactly what category does "worse" fall under? Fanbase? Crime? Poverty? And with your comment, I trust you gave that pertaining to Philadelphia's fanbase.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites.

Also iconic are the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone’s triumphant run in the film "Rocky." It's a beautiful city with wonderful restaurants and the birth place of the iconic Cheesesteak.

The worst city defined by poverty, crime etc.... in the United States is Mobile, Alabama. Philadelphia is ranked the worse city in Pennsylvania, not nation, largely because of its financial challenges that many of its residents face.

No particular order... Worst cities in America:

- SF (way too expensive, people poop in public, heroin needles, communist mecca, pollution, earthquakes)
- LA (too expensive, overrated, polluted, high crime, earthquakes)
- Oakland (still expensive, with even more crime and drugs than SF... earthquakes)
- Baltimore (crime)
- Cleveland (crime)
- Houston (worst weather in the USA, lots of crime, pollution, hurricanes, bad people, pretty much the dump of Texas)
- Miami (sickening heat and humidity, crime, hurricanes)
- Queens (Harlem, too)
- DC (it's worth going once for the sight seeing, but horrid place to live)
- Memphis (crime; it's a bigger problem than people give it credit for)

 

[dwreck27]

Memphis...

Per capita they beat Chicago for murders/shootings I do believe

 

[millennial_legend]

That town is about 10 miles outside of Philly. To be clear the suburbs of Philadelphia are great. King of Prussia is an A+ town. Super nice. The city is not.

Yes my half brothers live in Warrington, Pa. Nice place nice house about a half hour northwest of Philly. That's why I do support the Eagles when they're not playing the Cowboys.

What's your beef with Chicago bub?

LOL..... Great Lakes Navel Training Station. Especially in a winter training cycle.

While I wouldn't want to live in Philly or even visit it again, they're mostly forgiven simply for birthing the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.

 

[millennial_legend]

....and Detroit.

that, too

 

[Vinnie2u]

I live in Miami now. Moved here from Tampa. Besides the traffic in Tampa it’s a great place to live. Best beaches in the continental USA. Cost if living is low. Weather is phenomenal.

My daughter goes to school at Bryn Mawr College. Very nice area.

Nursing? Top notch nursing school.

Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Cabrini, Drexel to name a few. Very upscale/prestige to say the least. The area is better known as The Main Line. Grace Kelly lived there. Her home was made historic. Andy Reid had a beautiful home there while coaching for the Eagles.

Philly, Philly and Philly...you can include their fans too....

I was in San Fran recently. Geez, it has changed in just a couple of years badly. I used to love to go there. Now it's just a cesspool.

Washington

DC is awful
