Speaking of hell on earth (Gaza) check out the thread on boycotting Israeli goods and the British aid convoy treking through Europe and North Africa to Gaza:

Honestly, any city where the minority population is the majority. Just look at the crime statistics.
San Jose, CA.:
-Worst Local Politicians in the world. The gang that couldn't shoot straight...
-Worst Senatorial Representation in the Universe
-Liberal Stance on everything, especially illegal beaner immigration and the Gay Mafia
-Worst (almost) housing prices tied to unreality in Nation-World
-Worst traffic and streets equal to anywhere
-Airport perpetually under construction in a landscape resembling an atomic bomb blast test site
-Mass Sheeple herd mentality about any/everything. Really, you should see these idiots
-Dying/Dead High-Tech sector populated by H1-B new generation slaves looking for next bubble
-Worst major infrastructure worthy of a turd world country
-In My Opinion, absolutely the Worst Daily Local Newspaper ever printed anywhere, ever, staffed by illiterate hacks that couldn't report on a lemonade stand and remote management equal of George Bush's Brains. Truly Shameful.
-Corner Boy-Gang influence growing daily
I guess that would be a good beginning argument for no one ever relocating to San Jose. Fast becoming a place you do not ever want to visit for any reason.
San Jose, California. A slum so foul it should be removed from maps... Hopeless steaming pile of stinking sh*t.
America: Turd World Nation of Nothing and Serial Nobodies.
Detroit.
Never been there but it sounds like hell.
Newark
Easy
Just got back from a trip to Houston
Strip malls everywhere
Fenced in sub-divisions everywhere
No mass transit
Highways with 8 lanes in each direction plus frontage roads
I literally saw 2 hybrids the entire trip and mind you I was on the road for a good 8 hours since you have to drive like 30 minutes to get anywhere
And I didn't even go in the summer when it's really supposed to suck
lost angeles & detroit, easy
1. Detroit (c'mon)
2. Reno
3. Houston
All of them!
Washington, DC.
Rampant corruption in the DC government and blighted schools in disrepair. No accountability whatsoever for anything.
Detriot.
ATE-UP SAID:
Anywhere Hoss Cartright and Little Joe don't live, or haven't lived.
tchula, mississippi
The worst. Depends on what you mean by worst.
Some cities I don't really like:
Phoenix, Detroit, LA, St. Louis, DC, Buffalo, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Orlando.
Detroit MI. Or perhaps Flint, MI.
Detroit:
Race problems
Unemployment problems
Corrupt gov officials
Corrupt school system
Falling home prices
Pollution problems
Decaying infrastructure
No real natural beauty (the rest of the state is great)
Rest of the state doesn't want to pay to support its problems anymore
Continuing PR nightmare
No real livable downtown compared to other major cities
I could go on and on but you get the point. And please don't respond (like people in Detroit do) "But, but the suburbs!" That wasn't the question. The suburbs are not that bad, but the city proper sucks it big time.
When I see pictures like that I cringe.
My first thought is: entropy.
My second thought is how can anyone think we can keep on developing our land like this and think good things will keep on happening?
Bulletmore, Murderland.
Detroit, which is a place I am actually quite fond of. It has been neglected, abused, abandoned...It is incredible that a city is like that exists in the United States. Unreal situations go on in there. Very sad.
Washington, DC
Of course, it's not nice to say bad things about the cities that others love and live in. I will nominate Boston for its terrible infrastructure, however. The Big Dig was a Big Criminal Enterprise that left the city with a traffic tunnel that is criminally unsafe. The traffic and roadways are a heady mix of congested and tangled and ugly as far as the eye can see. More thoughtful city planners might have made this a great city to view, instead of one that only makes sense if you're viewing it safely from Cambridge on the banks of the Charles river. I have never, in my visits of over 20 years, figured out how people can stand to live in such a big, worn-down looking mess. Yes, I suppose if you're on the Harvard Campus or safely ensconced in some rich and leafy cocoon, like on Beacon Street. But most people are dealing with an urban mess every day. And the poorer parts are extreme in their poverty--amazingly so.
>We got here as a consequence of government idiocy. If government does not stop behaving like Moe, Larry and Curly we will watch Europe implode, we will try to backstop the EU and Asia via our swap lines and we will go down with them.

That is an easy question, Washington DC.
Keith,
I'll give you a hint!
The guy who we haven't heard from since Obama won, who used to ride your jock so hard I used to wonder if he was your kid brother, who by now is feeling the pain like everone who is trying to sell something right now. Who thinks he is better than most because he "rents" in Newport Beach and if you lived 6 miles away in Huntington Beach you were a 3rd class citizen, is from the worst city in America and it truly does "suck"... just ask Charles.
RayNLA
Washington and New York tied for sheer harm to the rest of us.
I love the Southwest ... but Phoenix is a great vapid wasteland ... not because of the landscape but of the souless empty culture there.
DP
LA....
The worst city in the United States is the United States
Pick any city in the Inland Empire, including Rancho Cucamonga.
Detroit is by far the worse. LA is trying to be number 1.
Phoenix, hands down.
I can't say this about the entire metro area but the city of Detroit itself is far and away the worst city in this country. It is an embarrassment that we have such a third world disaster of a city in this country. All Americans should feel disgusted by the national shame that is Detroit. We should blow it all up and start over.
In a distant second with a caveat is New York. NYC is a beautiful world class city with anything you could possibly want to offer - if you can afford it. Its a wonderful place to visit for a week or two but is inhospitable to all but the filthiest of stinky rich. Greatest city in the world for a bankster or an A lister but misery for anyone else. If you live there or anywhere near there and you're not a member of the aristocracy, you can count on spending all your money on housing and taxes. You can also look forward to spending all your time working the 12 hour days required to pay taxes and rent or commuting. That commute will consist of sitting in gridlock or standing packed like cattle onto trains with people who don't shower much for at least an hour each way. Good luck having any time, energy, or cash to take advantage of all it has to offer in your scant free time.
Brooklyn, ny
Philadelphia.
It won't really make any difference, since the entire country is going to be sucked down into the gutter now.
Thanks in part to all the wasteful spending of tax-payer's dollars at all public service sector levels.
Ca. state workers are now going to feel the pinch (20,000+) - and they have no idea what it means to stand in the unemployment office and wait for a meager hand-out, or wait in line 3 to 4 hours at a job fair just be told there isn't anything for them.
Things are going to get ALOT worse before they even remotely appear to be getting better.
The next big shoe to drop will be the commercial retail sector, which will pick up steam around 2nd-quarter of this year.
This will make the so called "sub-prime crisis" look like a walk in the park on a bright sunny day.
Phoenix. Unfortunately this is where I live, and no I am not complaining about the heat.
This city was built on the concept of greed and making money, by selling land and homes for people from other states. It has no history or any culture whatsoever.
Stamford CT, main businesses here are UBS and RBS headquarters both of which have the largest trading floors on the planet. Oops.
Here's a list:
Detoilet
Bodymore Murderland
Shitcongo
Memphrica
Shitsinatti
Cleveland
Lost Angeles
Apelanta
Koonsas City
Killidelphia
Tough call. Baltiless, Detroit, any city in Ohio (whiniest state in the Union), Miami, Orlando (beyond Disney World it's just a glorified trailer park), etc.
I thought Washington D.C. was pretty crappy when I visited.
Actually pretty much anyplace along the East Coast sucks. Pick any town. Rude, arrogant jerks everywhere.
By the picture that you posted, you are suggesting that it's Los Angeles.
I think there is too much value to their economy for them to take that spot.
My vote would be OKC. That place is a complete dump with no culture and in the middle of Tornado Alley.
Fill in the blank:
Let's go to Oklahoma City so that we can see ______________ .
detroit , full of homies....
the occupied territories of breeders and sprawlers
dallas
atlanta
indianapolis
columbus
denver
fresno
sacramento
bakersfield
etc.
etc.
etc.
Washington DC, because it has more toxic crap concentrated than any other place on earth.
2 way tie between Detroit..Camden, NJ..
1. Detroit - the most economically depress
2. Houston - the most unnatural
Vegas.
It is such a reeking example of the fake veneer of a city hiding a shithole of a non-economy. It is based on pretending to get something for nothing but instead selling a superficial hit of vice at a no refund cost. I call it the theme park of the seven deadly sins for middle aged men. Lots of smoking guys with beer bellies drinking cheap bourbon, collecting calling cards of hookers, eating shitty grease at the buffets while mindlessly pumping money into the slots.
Beam me up Scotty then launch the Genesis weapon, there's no intelligent life down here...
Sacramento. Fuck that place.
Why is there a picture of Los Angeles next to that question? I don't care if you like LA or not, but if that's your opinion of the worst city, then you haven't traveled enough in the USA.
Why not at least post a picture of a city that everyone agrees is terrible, like Detroit, or some similar place where there is high crime, unemployment, blight, the weather sucks, and the homes are worth less than $0?
Detroit, running away
L.A. Hands down. Though it is not even a real city. Endless slum...
la is a total hellhole full of illegals and welfare moms.
I was also wondering what happened to frank@pimpmycrappymarketingbook.com
Wonder if he's worked out that marketing slime aren't needed in this economy (if he ever was in the first place).
If there's any justice he'll be living with Casey Serin in the prelude to a ferrari down by the train tracks.
Phoenix
2nd highest number of kidnappings in the world behind only Mexico City
prohibition sucks money into the hands of organized crime
"Yes, I suppose if you're on the Harvard Campus or safely ensconced in some rich and leafy cocoon, like on Beacon Street. But most people are dealing with an urban mess every day. And the poorer parts are extreme in their poverty--amazingly so."
Back in the 80s, when Apartheid was still around, Boston was known as the Johannesburg of the US. In a sense, it maintained a sense of middle to upper class propriety by creating clear divides, see Huntington Ave (Mission Hill), Southie/Andrew Sq, West Jamaica Plain, etc, which separated both race and class.
El Paso, Texas
Total shithole
Wow, lot's of good answers.
I vote for Asbury Park, New Jersey.
It's got it all...corruption, section 8 housing, drugs, gangs, organized crime...and it was once beautiful.
El Paso/Juarez - the worst city in both the US and Mexico
Detroit for sure. Although I here Houston/Galveston are awful.
Los Angeles and the communities it encapsulates has awful areas, and truly amazing areas. Hence why people keep moving here when they have the money to live anywhere in the world. I have lived many places, grew up in Minneapolis, and choose to call LA home
Stand at the top of the Hollywood Bowl one summer night and look out over West Hollywood to the pacific, beautiful.
Mr. Smith
Los Angeles (Mexico City) and all the pile of $hit that comes with it:
Hollywood celebs who fake they hate capitalism while blowing $10k on handbags and renting islands in the Caribbean for $50k / day (paid with your money), East LA, Compton, South Central, West Hollywood, incompetent and lazy liberals who bankrupt the state, Bukko types, welfare parasites who breed like flies, 150,000 gang members (most of them Hispanics).
LA = the biggest overrated turd in America, after San Francisco.
Pay up, suckers.

When will you learn?
When will you begin defending yourselves like real men?
I’d take downtown Detroit any day over any place on the rotten Eurotatrd continent.

...see an ocean of fudge-packers.
Any red state capital. Any city in Texass.
Houston, bar none, the worst.
While Detroit is the worst (I suggest opening an Embassy) ; the reality is any concentration of underclass scum is going to be hell on Earth.
San Pablo, CA. Trust me.
San Pablo, CA. Trust me.
From just a statistics point (crime, schools, unemployment, etc.) Detroit wins hands down for a "big" city, but places like Cincinnati or Cleveland are not far behind. . .then there are small towns like Flint, or Youngstown (where they are downsizing the entire city). . .but. . .I would probably pick Las Vegas or Phoenix for the most number of grifters and phonies. LA actually has a large industrial base, a good port, and some honest work being done (mostly by Mexicans). . .ok, Hollywood is phoney, but is only a small part of the economic mix.
AND - I would include some parts of San Diego County - the gated communities of Ranco Plastique. . .the thing that saves SD is the large Navy and Marine population that brings a little sanity here.
I've never been to Detroit but from the places I've been to I'd say:
El Paso
Buffalo
Bakersfield
Miami, where I currently live. In 2 years I had my house and my car broken into and one attempted robbery. I guy tried to push me off my bike riding home from work. Miami is filled with criminals and assorted other scum. Hoes, murderers, crack heads, corrupt cops, corrupt city employees, scamsters, criminally insane, mother fucker and father rapers. Most of them don't speak a word of English. All the scum that washed up on our shores over the last 50 years. I lived in NC (Raleigh-Durham) before, really nice area, hated to leave.
At least the climate is nice in Miami and we have some awesome vegitation.
I was in Saigon during theVietnam War. Nothing is worse. sorry even Bangladesh in the 70's was not as bad. This banter about candy ass US cities is futile. If you need a gun in your hand to survive to the next day, that is bad.
As the song in my gym goes,
"Put your hands up for Detroit - I love this city"
Clearly it's about someone getting mugged.

Trenton, NJ. Ugh.
Tijuana...oh crap I almost forgot it is not in the USA... YET
San Jose and Detroit by far are the worst cities in America if not the world maybe tied with Gaza.
However, one could afford to live in Detroit but cannot even afford to live in socially bankrupt and way overpriced San Jose.
If San Jose is not the worst then it should be a close second and definitely is the most stressful...
How could you all forget New Orleans, Gary Indiana, Richmond VA, and Memphis TN.
I'd vote for New York City. It's technically a world class city, but let's be honest.. on top of being absolutely filthy and polluted, it's packed to the gills with people who have to act like sociopaths just to survive. Take a wage that would give you a nice quality of life in virtually any other city, move to NY and you'll be living like a dog.
L.A. by far. Just look at the idiot mayor. Dumb mayor voted in by dumb uneducated people.
Just to show you how these liberals from Los Angeles are full of $hit. They're all for open borders, mass immigration, welfare, etc. However, when it's time to increase taxes to pay for all that socialist waste, they take their business elsewhere, like filming most flicks in Canada. Why don't you film in CA to help pay for all your socialist programs, Hollywood?
WSJ - The tax increases will continue to chase even more productive people out of California. For at least two years, the sales tax would rise by one percentage point to 8.25% and the income tax by 0.3% to a top marginal rate of 10.56%. These will both be the highest statewide rates in the nation (see chart).
Do these taxes hurt business? Ask Hollywood. Film makers are threatening to flee to avoid the state's high costs, so to keep them in Southern California the deal offers $500 million in tax breaks for producers. Rich liberals like Rob Reiner, who love higher taxes on other people, get a sweetheart tax break and everyone else pays more.

How about Charlotte, NC? It was built on banking and selling new homes to northeners. Not exactly the best businesses upon which to stake a city's future!
Of places I've been, detroit is pretty far up there. That place is just depressing. And I grew up in Pittsburgh at the time the steel mills and other industry were all leaving.
Worst cities in the US I've been too:
Detroit
Youngstown, Ohio
Richland, WA
Fresno, CA
Gary, Indiana
East LA, CA
Oakland, CA
All of them make Gaza look like Beverly Hills.
Los Angeles is my base of operation. Its home to the media center that poisions the rest of the worlds spirit. You see, LA is liveable, full of convenience, has nice weather, and plenty of jobs. How can I take your soul without your consent? This is what makes LA the best! In LA you can actually sustain a drug habit and a job at the same time. In LA you can buy anyone you want. Arnold lives in LA.
Thanks for asking...

You forgot Excremento...
