What part of America is the biggest dump? (1 Viewer)

[Doctor Detroit]

Florida.

The place is a pit. Inane humidity. Lousy storms. And the people. My God, the people. Meth-addled toothless inbred hicks. And those are the good ones. Seriously. Whenever you hear about some brain-damaged moron doing something stupid on the news, up to and including some guy hopped up on bath salts going full-on zombie cannibal and trying to eat another dude's face while he's still wearing it, it always happens in Florida. Never fails.

Mosquitos the size of sparrows. Jeebus Florida sucks. "Oh, the weather's nice," they'll say. They are idiots. Los Angeles has nice weather. In Los Angeles you can eat outdoors at a restaurant every day of the year and never shoo a bug away from your food. In Florida you'll be eaten by mosquitos before the entrees arrive. In Florida a gator will crawl out of the freaking swamp and gnaw on your leg while you're waiting for dessert. You never hear of plywood shortages in Los Angeles when a storm is coming, because "storm" in Los Angeles means it might rain for a second day this year. In Florida you got freaking hurricanes and flooding and, oh yeah, the place is still a swamp. Full of the worst white trash in the country. Screw Florida. America's wang.

Could not agree more. DO NOT COME HERE. Especially Palm Beach County.

Don't worry. Now, you don't go hitching up your double-wide and trying to make the move to peaceful & sunny Southern California ever. Ever. We don't want your kind here.

In some ways, So Cal is a little like Florida. Except with better people, better culture, better weather, and better drugs. Trust me, you just wouldn't fit in.

100% Truth. This area offers nothing and is inferior in every way possible. So Cal is where it's at. Keep moving there.

Everyone from there is moving to Texas. Houston, you have a problem!!!

If I had to vote for a city, Camden would win, hands down. It's the only place I've intentionally run a redlight for fear of my life.

this is a good measure of how ####ty a place is. I've only done this once as well, during a late night drive through East Cleveland.

Sabertool!!!!! What pearls of wisdom do you have for us? I know you started talking about this thread in the Shark Pool, interested as always what you have to contribute.

No pearls. Detroit is pretty much the winner in this thread. Just a wasteland whose suckitude just drags down and entire state.

I lived in south FL for a while, which is supposedly the best part of FL. It has 2 things over SoCal - lower cost of living and warm ocean water. It is inferior in every other way.

FL has no business calling themselves the sunshine state. It rains all the time. Some idiot from NY who thinks FL is paradise must have named it that.

The weather is the worst part of South Florida. I had to build an ark to go the the grocery story last week.

[Doctor Detroit]

Has anyone mentioned Detroit yet? I hear that place has some issues.

 

[East Coast Bias]

I haven't been to any of these places. I need to travel more.

 

[General Malaise]

I went to a Detroit Tigers game once. One of the prettiest ballparks I've ever seen. I spent a day at the Henry Ford Museum and could have spent a week there. Every American should visit that place. I got to sit in the seat that Rosa Parks sat in on the bus she made famous. I saw the chair Lincoln sat in when was assassinated. Also saw the limo JFK was riding in when he was assassinated. Completely blown away by my experience there.

Take a drive through Grosse Point. Giant mansions stretch on for what feels like forever, with gorgeous front yards and views of the water. There are lakes all over the Detroit area. It's not all urban blight and poverty.

 

[General Malaise]

Big fan of your fair city. :thumbsup:

 

[General Malaise]

I've never seen poverty and blight in America like what I've seen in rural Louisiana.

Yeah, I would like anybody bagging on Detroit to take a trip to Alexandria, Louisiana and report back to me.

 

[General Malaise]

I have not been to Detroit, but of the places I've seen it's El Paso.

El Paso is great. Aren't you from California? Inland Empire and Stockton-Modesto along with Fresno are way worse.

San Angelo, Lubbock and Midland worse than El Paso.

I live in the Inland Empire, but in a good part of it. Riverside, San Berdu, Colton, Moreno Valley all suck.

Fontana could beat Fresno though. There are a lot of cities around the Bay Area that ####holes as well. Martinez comes to mind.

Lancaster and Bakersfield. That's hell right there.

Modesto is a good answer. That place is a disaster.

 

[Christo]

3 students who took the SAT in Camden's school district scored as "college-ready."

Seriously, anyone who didn't vote for Camden should watch this video.

Only two of the four #### holes in Ohio so far? I'll take care of the others. Toledo and Akron.

I live between Cleveland, Akron, and Toledo.Those cities are vacation destinations for people living in Detroit.

i can't think of one redeeming quality about any of Toledo, Akron, Dayton, and Youngstown.

The Akron airport is awesome because you can park 17 inches from the front door. It felt like a lego village.

i am going to nitpick because it doesn't fit my narrative. That airport is in canton. And you're totally right. Rarely fly out of Cleveland, try to only fly out of there.

I can tell you that Akron>Toledo>Detroit.

I've spent multiple weeks in the Fairlawn area (right outside of Akron) and I can tell you my wife and I thought it wouldn't be a bad place to live.

Toledo has improved their downtown area, BUT there still is a lot of dump areas in the city

Detroit is a place where I don't want to take a wrong turn or I'll be in a lawless wasteland.

Youngstown seemed run down but I frequently stop there on the way back from Pittsburgh and I don't fear of making a wrong turn.

I can't speak to Dayton, but I would be surprised if it was worse than the D.

Have you been to the D and honestly feel that these Ohio cities are worse?

Fairlawn isn't a bad area in much the same way that Detroit suburbs aren't either. It's the actual city of CRAkron that's the pits. There are nice areas within a few miles north of downtown (I lived about 10-15 miles north for a couple of years), just don't cross the river and stay out of the city limits.

I'd put Toledo a full step below because a lot of their suburbs are horrendous too. College isn't even near downtown and it's about 90% surrounded by the hood.

I can't think of a single redeeming quality anywhere near downtown Dayton. Have to get far enough south to consider yourself a Cincinnati burb to get out of the red and into the black. If it weren't for the violent crime rate I'd put it below Youngstown, but those are some tough numbers to beat.

Detroit is every bit the hole those places are, but there is actually something to do in its downtown. That's why I can't put it quite on the same level. Great surrounding areas too.

ETA: I've probably been to downtown Detroit a dozen or two times, Dayton too, Toledo triple that, Akron half that, and Youngstown once...cause damn.

where you live, Mac?

Lyndhurst. Lived in Sagamore Hills and Cleveland Heights for two years each before moving in with my now wife who already home owned here. Grew up and went to school in BG. I couldn't get away from NW Ohio fast enough. Awesome place to go to college, but...that's about it.

 

[[icon]]

Pretty much anywhere in central valley of California... Fresno, for example. El Cajon, for another.

 

[NREC34]

Another good one I had forgotten about: West Memphis, Arkansas. Made a big mistake of stopping there to get gas one time when I was traveling. Very scary place.

I believe 2 of the 32 NFL owners have mansions in Gross Pointe.

 

[tri-man 47]

Gary's bad. It's a rundown city near a lot of heavy industrial sites. It gets a lot of the 'lake effect' weather swooping down from Lake Michigan, so it gets crappy winter weather.

Hemet and Lake Elsinore...it's meth-central.

I also think there's some city ordinances that dictate you having at least two pitbulls per household.

Gross Pointe is extremely atypical of the Detroit metro area. Plus you cross a street out of the school district and you're in neighborhoods with $10k homes.

East St. Louis has to be in the conversation, no?

Is there anything along the Mississippi that is a desirable location to live? I can't think of one. I think Missouri is a tremendously underrated state, but not the part along the Mississippi. We know Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana are all terrible. Maybe Baton Rouge, can't think of another.

Ahem.
