Sucks that our capitol is such a mess. Most other countries can boast that their capitols at least have character or something. Besides visiting the amazing governmental buildings and monuments I don't see any other reason for going there.
Im referring to the places I've been to, which have been mostly just in Europe.

Tampa is amazing. QUITE amazing compared to MANY other cities in this country.
The greater Miami area does suck the big one, but the surrounding cities are really great places.
For me I would have to agree with Detroit, MI with Los Angeles coming in at a close second as well... I just hate the traffic, people, lack of weather variation... and yeah Detroit is just dirty dirty... D.C. is pretty shitty also though.Leave a comment:

EDIT: holy shit I didn't mean to make this so long... I type faster than I think
I really don't mind Detroit. LA is pleasant, until the sun sets. I guess it depends on how you define shit hole. If you mean poor, then there are hundreds if not thousands of places in the US to choose from. There are some properly assbackwards living areas, but if the people are happy doing their thing, who am I to say that the place is a shit hole? I'm from Russia and while I lived in Moscow almost all the time, we had a cottage far from the city, and it was surrounded by towns that don't have a single TV among them. Their women carry water on their backs to this day. Not one of them would pass mustard on the "are you smarter than a 5th grader" show. I've also never met a happier bunch of rednecks in my life. I've stayed with some of them for a few days at a time, and it can be blissful. On a frigid winter day, after dinner, climb on top of the huge concrete stove for a nap, not one care in the world... it's pretty fuckin sweet. They liked coming over to our house too, to watch dubbed Brazilian soap operas, but I'm not one to step up and say that their lifestyle is a shit hole.
If you define shit hole as having the most miserable and hopeless people, then I'd say Buffalo or Rochester, probably Buffalo. I've never come across such a vast area of people who have completely given up. Every time I leave that place, I breathe the most disturbingly deep sigh of relief. Makes me very sad for the people stuck there.
If you define it as creepy and disturbing, then East Vancouver. Now, I've never been to a place where kids play in shit and women offer me their kids, so I'll concede this one to blunt. But I gotta say, East Van is really fucked up. It's amazing how good of a job they do keeping that area a secret. If you walk down East Hastings, even in broad fucking daylight, you are liable to get roughed up. The thing is that they closed down to asylums in Vancouver and they had nowhere to put those people. They haven't committed crimes nor were they physically sick. So they all congregate on East Hastings and sometimes venture out to beg for money. The cops don't know what to do with them, they just do what they can to protect humans from them. If you park your car there, again in broad daylight, it will likely get broken into.
One time I worked a contract with the office close to E. Hastings, and I sometimes went to get some food or coffee at the McDicks there. Every single time, half of the people inside, were dirty fucking crazies, covered with lesions and fresh scars (DEEP ones, massive stitches), twitching and fidgeting, fighting over who gets to use the bathroom next. One time I saw a dazed woman standing in the middle. She suddenly bent over violently to hurl all over the floor, and her hair flipped forward revealing a pint of bloody mess and skull visible. Nothing that happens in that area makes the news. And I KNOW shit goes down because I've seen it, and there are ambulances there all the time.
Another time was funny as fuck - I was getting a whopper and walking out, there is bum with the most psycho look on his face, going ABSOLUTELY APE SHIT! It scared the crap out of me at first. Then I realized he wasn't looking at me but kind of up. This guy was jumping around, pacing, and SCREAMING complete gibberish, with the occasional fuck/shit/bitch. I see a trooper car sitting in an alley, and they're both not looking at him. I walk up and ask, hey are you guys gonna do anything about that? They're like nah, that's Ricky, he's harmless, just doesn't like Burger King. I almost pooped myself.
When I first got to Vancouver, I was walking down the posh shopping district with a coworker, and there was an E. Hastings bum with his buggy but all he had was a broom and a bucket he stole somewhere. He rolls up to my coworker and says "pleeease siiiir can you spare some change?" The guy looks at the bum, looks at the buggy, and says "dude you gotta get on that thing, winter's gonna be here soon". Bum gets pissed "GIVE ME SOME MONEY RIGHT NOW".Leave a comment:

Corona, CA. I swear everyone in that town is borderline retarded. Full of tweakers and drug addicts.
As far as major cities are concerned, Miami, FL might be the shittiest major city in the US. It has nice beaches and a nice skyline but everything else is pure shit.Leave a comment:

Coober Pedy, SA.
Middle of fucking nowhere. Won't get you killed by gangs or diseases junkie scum, but there are countless other natural and man-made things that'll end you in ways you dare not dream.
Wolf Creek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Creek_%28film%29 ) was painfully close to the truth about this place. There are people living out there that you don't want to meet.Leave a comment:

I used to say Detroit until I went to Toledo, OH last winter. Until then I just thought they were overstating how bad some economies were because Kansas was pretty much devoid of any of the drama. Toledo had entire blocks of vacant houses and the downtown at 8:30am on a Tuesday had nobody walking around and the shops were empty.Leave a comment:

East St Louis lived like a half hour from there scary place!
8 times the national average Crime rate! BY FAR THE WORST!
East St. Louis has one of the highest crime rates in the United States. According to FBI's data of 2006, its murder rate hit 83.8 per population of 100,000, surpassing that of cities such as Compton, California (40.4 per pop. 100,000), Gary, Indiana (48.3 per pop. 100,000), New Orleans, Louisiana (37.6 per pop. 100,000), Richmond, Virginia (38.8), Baltimore, Maryland (43.3), Camden, New Jersey (40.0), Detroit, Michigan (47.3), and Washington, D.C. (29.1), as well as that of its neighbor St. Louis (37.2). FBI data also shows East St. Louis' high rate of rape, which exceeded 250 per population of 100,000.
East Saint Louis and Opa Locka, Florida have the highest crime rates in the United States (Opa Locka had the absolute highest crime rate in 2003 and 2004 for cities of any population.)
The following table shows East St. Louis's crime rate in six crimes that Morgan Quitno uses for its calculation for "America's most dangerous cities" ranking, in comparison to the national average:[11] Year: 2006 number of crimes per 100,000.
Crime East Saint Louis National average
Murder 83.8 6.9
Rape 251.3 32.2
Robbery 1,347.0 195.4
Assault 5,847.3 340.1
