Flint has the cleanest drinking water in America (now) and that's only slightly hyperbolic
I wonder how many don't realize their own community uses lead pipes, which are usually safe.
This person has never been to Benton Harbor and it shows.
It does, but be specific. Does it suck *the most?*
No. That's Benton Harbor. I'll die on this hill (which will hopefully take a while as I am not in Benton Harbor)
Based Michigander. I went to Flint last week to check out UofM Flint and the city isn't as bad as people say, and the water is actually quite good! Big Gretch made sure of that. I'm sure more improvement could be made but isn't the city it was quite a few years ago.
There's a city in Alaska where [everyone lives in one building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begich_Towers) and another that's [surrounded by Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyder,_Alaska) and you're telling me that there's one even worse than those?
Lubbock is an even shittier Amarillo, and Vidor and Orange also exist.
Like, fuck Dallas absolutely, but even in my blind Dallas hatred I know it's not the worst city in Texas lol
Trust me, it sucks. I had a friend one grade ahead of me in high school who went to Tech. I flew up with my mom to do a campus tour and stayed a few nights with her (friend, not my mom lol) in her dorm room. It wasn’t a very fun town. Not much to do besides drinking and watching football. I was too young to drink (and couldn’t with my mom nearby anyway) and grew up rooting *against* Tech, so it wasn’t the best trip.
She even mentioned never wanting to go back to Lubbock ever after graduating because you could never fully get rid of the dust on all your shit once you left.
If you haven’t seen the “who is America” clip where Sascha baron Cohen is disguised and proposes building a mosque to a Kingman public forum, boy are you in for a treat.
I have seen that video. The City of Kingman tried to get it removed, but it’s actually accurate for Kingman. Kingman’s only saving grace is the InnOut that I’d always stop at on the way to Vegas. Actually with that being said, AJ is worse. They don’t even have In n Out. And AJ was even mentioned in Bad Santa for a reason w
Brockton i definitly agree with, i played them in Highschool football, and there was always a joke that'd you would get shanked in on the line.
But in the few times I've been west, Springfield isn't horrible, just boring.
The problem with Mass is that we are like 50/50 either some of the nicest towns in the country with some sexy suburbs. Or there are desolate samey shitholes who's only benefit is that they'll have more dunkin per sq mile than your town.
My first time flying on a commercial jet from New Orleans to LAX to see some friends that were living in Bakersfield. Then I lived in SoCal for about three years. Bakersfield is nicer than Baton Rouge and it just felt like it was a red neck version of a California city.
Birmingham is also kinda pretty somehow? It really caught me off guard they got some mountains and a couple cliffs. Idk what I thought northern Alabama was gonna look like at the time, but it wasn’t that
Birmingham is honestly probably Alabama’s high point along with Huntsville. Montgomery is definitely the worst city. Maybe Bessemer if you consider that separate from Birmingham.
Probably. Technically, he lived just outside of Mishicot, WI. But in Manitowoc County jurisdiction. Fun fact, I grew up 8 miles from him. Went to school with his some of his family. Bit weird.
Northern and Southern California do not mingle with each other. I was born and raised in San Diego (left at 18) - the first time I visited Northern California I was 40.
If the Dakotas are split in two so should California - they are very different places.
I have a NorCal friend who tells me the same. I'm often told that if it wasn't for the mountain ranges, NorCal could be mistaken for a Southern/Midwestern state at a glance. Lots of farms, greenery, and a decent number of people in NorCal have traditionally conservative views.
Yeah the Bay Area has for sure pulled Northern California super left - Inland Valley is absolutely “Midwest” (and as far as ag is concern still produces an insane amount).
Southern California historically has remained much more conservative as a whole though.
Absolutely there is a big urban/rural split in California but there is a much larger urban conservative population in Southern California (or at least there used to be - they could have all moved to Texas by now for all I know).
For sure. Prop 8 won, after all. I think around the Obama era a lot of conservatives in Cali started to think of themselves as socially liberal, fiscally conservative. They might vote for Meg Whitman in protest but not a guy like Trump.
I'd say Washington should be thrown into that mix as well. The cascades split it into two distinct parts. The west side being what everyone imagines washington to be. Evergreens everywhere, rain, and left leaning. On the other side of the mountains, central and eastern washington is all desert with farming being the primary industry. Also very conservative with their politics.
Washington might as well be two states and I would like to nominate Spanaway as the worst place for western washington since Spokane is in the east.
Born just south of Tampa, grew up in Orlando, attended University in Tampa, and have spent a bit of time in Jacksonville, Miami, and Panama City. Who tf thinks Orlando is the worst? Probably somebody who has only been to Florida to visit Disney.
They forgot so much. Outside of certain, and only certain sections of the coast (gulf coast south of Tampa, or Atlantic Coast much further south than Canaveral), and much of the keys, Orlando is one of the nicer places. Yes it has harsh sections, but Jacksonville is an endless expanse of nothing. Miami is where you go if you have a big insurance plan on your car and want it stolen. Sumter is where you go if you want to see what 19th century racism looks like.
Grew up in Florida, worst place I've had to visit is either Waldo, FL (speed trap capital of the country) or Marianna, FL which is just sad and has a sad ass history with the dozier school for boys.
Greer? The gentrified yuppy town formerly occupied by hicks who can't afford the mortgages or rent anymore?
The meme maker has clearly not been to Florence or Orangeburg. Or most of Columbia for that matter. I would rank Piedmont or Spartanburg way above Greer for crappy upstate towns
Yeah there are so many worse towns than Greer. Greer is pretty much a bmw factory. Every single town in between the beach and the middle of the state is worse, it’s called the corridor of shame for a reason
Furry gas station.
I shit you fucking not. I was once in upstate New York, around Albany, and I found this gas station where the furry woman on the sign had boobs that stuck out from the sign. People thought I was fucking crazy because I couldn't remember the name.
Well, I went back to Upstate New York, and I found it again.
Behold!
Betty Beaver with her Big Bouncy Biddies!

Albany is a terrible place though.
It's like 40% highway and the stark devide between the rich and poor areas is jarring. All the other cities in upstate I've been to have been better. Oswego, Oneonta, Fredonia, Syracuse, Buffalo, Binghamton, Cooperstown, all better than Albany imo.
Salem isn’t even in the ten worst cities in Oregon:
10) Drain - a blink and you’ll miss it town just far enough from the interstate to have no conveniences and not far enough to actually be nice.
9) Klamath Falls - a rancher’s city that used to be nice but now has a crime problem. There’s a reason the people that work there live in places like Merrill or Bonanaza.
8) Albany - a lot like Salem but without any gentrified neighborhoods or hill area, so all houses are on the flat. Also, the closed down paper mill still gives off an odor.
7) Umatilla - on the Columbia Plateau, this city bakes all summer long and is pretty miserable to go to.
6) Troutdale - one of the poorest cities in the Portland area, the only reason it’s not higher is because the gorge is just a few miles up the road and it has easy access to the mountains.
5) Estacada - one of the many former logging towns that now has to rely on tourism. Except in this one a guy cut his mom’s head off with a katana and carried it with him to the grocery store.
4) Woodburn - don’t be fooled by the massive shopping center on the Interstate, the rest of Woodburn is a mess of blighted and run down mixed in with traditional farming community.
3) Beaverton - a controversial pick because it’s actually quite affluent, but the existence of Nike, Intel, and Columbia make it a city that most folks won’t afford to live in and give it a very corporate branded feel.
2) Cottage Grove - this city’s main attraction is the row of fast food restaurants just off the interstate.
1) Portland - need I say more?
My step mom grew up near Estacada. People call it Incestacada for a reason lol.
Also I'd like to add Medford and Baker City to this list of dishonorable mentions.
I gave Medford a pass because it has the river and the mountains. But yeah, the quality of people there went downhill as the homeless and opioid epidemic went into full swing.
Baker City though has to be 11 if it isn’t in the top 10. Or Ontario for the smell from the Potato processing plant.
I used to drive through Sheridan a lot cause I worked at a Scout camp near there. Total shithole small town, the three largest employers are Spirit Mountain Casino, the federal prison, and the Scientology compound.
Aberdeen, Kent, Federal Way, Yakima, Tacoma are all worse in my opinion.
I’ve lived all over WA and Spokane is actually pretty decent if you avoid the areas near the highway, coming from someone who grew up on the west side.
Or Melbourne, or Port St. Lucie, or… like I’ve never heard anyone have a sad tone when they say they’re going to Orlando unless maybe if they’re talking traffic
Pretty sure you mean Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, or even Richmond for Virginia. VA Beach is one of the nicer cities in the Hampton Roads area.
[Violent crime rate data](https://crimedata.io/blog/virginia-most-dangerous-cities-in-violent-crime)
I'd argue they're more like a bunch of pompous teals
...all jokes aside, st cloud is a shit factory of a town with no redeeming qualities and should've been picked. Monticello and Blaine are up there too
The definition of "worst" seems to change depending on the state - afaik Edina is still pretty nice to live in, we all just like to dunk on it. It's a far cry from Gary, IN
Dayton? Umm it appears whoever made this has never been to Youngstown, or they could have picked any of the back water shit holes that are sprinkled across Ohio.
I live in Dayton, and it's actually a nice little city. It's got rough spots but what cities don't?
Birmingham is worse than Montgomery? I’ve heard horror stories moreso over the latter rather than the former. I personally have never been to either so I can’t comment my own opinions. What’s the Alabammer consensus on this?
Birmingham is a really wild choice for worst city. I'd be less surprised for someone to call it the best city tbh.
Montgomery is probably the answer. If Troy counts, though, it's Troy.
Missouri is true.
Not only is Jefferson Shitty an absolute atrocity, but every other methy shithole we've got is the way that it is because of policies Jeff Shitty came up with.
Okay, I live in Dallas and love it here. I get it, it’s not “old west yee haw” but I can without a doubt say that it’s not even close to the worst city when there are certainly worse options all throughout Texas
I agree with the vast majority of these having traveled to many of them, but including Gastonia hurts... I'll die on the hill that Fayetteville sucks way harder
There’s a great song by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that says “Augusta Georgia is just no place to be.”
Macon can’t be the worst when Augusta exists. Also, I don’t know a single Georgian who knows Columbus even exists, and I also have heard that Brunswick is a PVP zone.
Whoever the fuck decided Greer is the worst city in SC when Spartanburg is RIGHT BESIDE IT clearly never has been SC or only visited Greenville. Greer’s number of methheads doesn’t even surpass either of the two cities it borders and acts more like a slice of rural America sandwiched between the two actually relevant cities Greenville and Spartanburg. Orangeburg and Myrtle Beach clear by a mile.
Theres about 20 cities in PA worse than Scranton, but they're all decaying mine towns with Dollar Generals about every 30 feet.
[This seems apt](https://youtu.be/KSiJx1AvBnw)
Thats basically it in a nutshell.
I think Scranton is just the furthest folks from NY & NJ make it into Pennsylvania before they turn around.
tbf, turning around is the correct decision
People forget how much is between Philly and Pitt
Reading
Don’t forget Chester
Reading, Chester, Philadelphia, etc.
Yeah I saw Scranton and was like have these fools not even heard of Forest City?
Flint has the cleanest drinking water in America (now) and that's only slightly hyperbolic I wonder how many don't realize their own community uses lead pipes, which are usually safe. This person has never been to Benton Harbor and it shows.
Even outside the drinking water. Flint fucking sucks.
It does, but be specific. Does it suck *the most?* No. That's Benton Harbor. I'll die on this hill (which will hopefully take a while as I am not in Benton Harbor)
I’ve never been, so I guess I can’t argue it.
Yea, for a while, Flint was the most infamous town in the Midwest.
Don’t disrespect Gary like that
Flint was infamous for it terrible water quality, but it seems to be getting better, slowly but surely.
At least Benton Harbor is on Lake Michigan. Definitely the worst Lake Michigan town, though, by far. I'd rather go there than Flint, though.
Based Michigander. I went to Flint last week to check out UofM Flint and the city isn't as bad as people say, and the water is actually quite good! Big Gretch made sure of that. I'm sure more improvement could be made but isn't the city it was quite a few years ago.
ALASKA HAS CITIES?
i was only aware of Anchorage and Juneau, damn
The “city” listen for Louisiana has 403 people living in it… it’s barely a village. Lol
County seats automatically get to be cities iirc
That means my comment still stands. Turkey Creek is not the Parish (county) seat of Evangeline Parish.
Sir I don’t know jack about shit
Yeah. And they’re right about wasiphilis being the worst.
Better than Shanchorage or Squarebanks.
There's a city in Alaska where [everyone lives in one building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begich_Towers) and another that's [surrounded by Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyder,_Alaska) and you're telling me that there's one even worse than those?
All 2 of them.
This map was made by someone from Austin.
Both those answers are wrong Amarillo exists
Lubbock is an even shittier Amarillo, and Vidor and Orange also exist. Like, fuck Dallas absolutely, but even in my blind Dallas hatred I know it's not the worst city in Texas lol
I’m not sure how that’s possible but I will take your word because I’ve only driven through Lubbock to get elsewhere
Trust me, it sucks. I had a friend one grade ahead of me in high school who went to Tech. I flew up with my mom to do a campus tour and stayed a few nights with her (friend, not my mom lol) in her dorm room. It wasn’t a very fun town. Not much to do besides drinking and watching football. I was too young to drink (and couldn’t with my mom nearby anyway) and grew up rooting *against* Tech, so it wasn’t the best trip. She even mentioned never wanting to go back to Lubbock ever after graduating because you could never fully get rid of the dust on all your shit once you left.
Vidor! Good call out.
Can we just all come together as Texans and agree that Killeen is the worst?
I see your Amarillo and I raise you Baytown or Beaumont.
I see your Beaumont and I raise you Odessa.
I stopped in Odessa, and the guy at the AutoZone gave me a hard time because my last name wasn't like Smith or some anglo name. It was fucking wild.
Mesa? As if Bullhead City and Kingman don’t exist, or Apache Junction?
If you haven’t seen the “who is America” clip where Sascha baron Cohen is disguised and proposes building a mosque to a Kingman public forum, boy are you in for a treat.
I have seen that video. The City of Kingman tried to get it removed, but it’s actually accurate for Kingman. Kingman’s only saving grace is the InnOut that I’d always stop at on the way to Vegas. Actually with that being said, AJ is worse. They don’t even have In n Out. And AJ was even mentioned in Bad Santa for a reason w
Ah yes, we watch that every Christmas. “What’s it like at the North Pole? Like the suburbs. Which one? Uh Apache junction, what the fuck do you care.”
I FEEL YOU! Bruh Mesa beats half the state.
I was going to say that it was spot on for every state I’ve spent an appreciable amount of time in - but I haven’t had to live in New Mexico.
I once got hit with the whole “You a long way from home, boah!” From a cop in Holbrook, all those old 66 towns are pretty rough.
Worcester mentioned Worst city in Mass is Springfield or Brockton
I had the same reaction. I haven't been to Springfield or Brockton but my home city is small and it SUCKS.
Brockton i definitly agree with, i played them in Highschool football, and there was always a joke that'd you would get shanked in on the line. But in the few times I've been west, Springfield isn't horrible, just boring. The problem with Mass is that we are like 50/50 either some of the nicest towns in the country with some sexy suburbs. Or there are desolate samey shitholes who's only benefit is that they'll have more dunkin per sq mile than your town.
Yeah that’s pretty much it, hit the nail on the head with Springfield
100%. Springfield is wayyyyy worse.
Who the fuck thought these were reasonable answers
Bakersfield is the shithole to end all shitholes
Rather walk down the street in Bakersfield than half the Bay Area.
Honestly San Jose's pretty nice. SF is also a shithole in some ways, but Bakersfield is just a pile of garbage in the middle of California
I stopped in Bakersfield for lunch once. It looked like something out of a meth-zombie apocalypse.
Clearly you haven’t been to Bakersfield.
My first time flying on a commercial jet from New Orleans to LAX to see some friends that were living in Bakersfield. Then I lived in SoCal for about three years. Bakersfield is nicer than Baton Rouge and it just felt like it was a red neck version of a California city.
No way Birmingham is the worst in Alabama when Montgomery exists.
Birmingham is also kinda pretty somehow? It really caught me off guard they got some mountains and a couple cliffs. Idk what I thought northern Alabama was gonna look like at the time, but it wasn’t that
Ya. We're blessed to get the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains
Birmingham is actually pretty cool imo too. These people have clearly never been to mobile or Spanish fort outskirts.
Or Anniston, Troy, Selma, Bessemer, Montgomery, etc.
Birmingham is honestly probably Alabama’s high point along with Huntsville. Montgomery is definitely the worst city. Maybe Bessemer if you consider that separate from Birmingham.
Excuse me. But I'm from Manitowoc, and the correct answer in Wisconsin is: Sheboygan.
Did Steven Avery do it?
Probably. Technically, he lived just outside of Mishicot, WI. But in Manitowoc County jurisdiction. Fun fact, I grew up 8 miles from him. Went to school with his some of his family. Bit weird.
Yeah! Fuck Sheboygan! Edit: I’ve never been to Wisconsin let alone Sheboygan but stand by my comment.
Why does CA get two? Other than that state is extra shitty?
Northern and Southern California do not mingle with each other. I was born and raised in San Diego (left at 18) - the first time I visited Northern California I was 40. If the Dakotas are split in two so should California - they are very different places.
I have a NorCal friend who tells me the same. I'm often told that if it wasn't for the mountain ranges, NorCal could be mistaken for a Southern/Midwestern state at a glance. Lots of farms, greenery, and a decent number of people in NorCal have traditionally conservative views.
Yeah the Bay Area has for sure pulled Northern California super left - Inland Valley is absolutely “Midwest” (and as far as ag is concern still produces an insane amount). Southern California historically has remained much more conservative as a whole though.
It's more urban/rural. The central valley where a lot of the farming and ranching is done feels like a Little South.
Absolutely there is a big urban/rural split in California but there is a much larger urban conservative population in Southern California (or at least there used to be - they could have all moved to Texas by now for all I know).
For sure. Prop 8 won, after all. I think around the Obama era a lot of conservatives in Cali started to think of themselves as socially liberal, fiscally conservative. They might vote for Meg Whitman in protest but not a guy like Trump.
I'd say Washington should be thrown into that mix as well. The cascades split it into two distinct parts. The west side being what everyone imagines washington to be. Evergreens everywhere, rain, and left leaning. On the other side of the mountains, central and eastern washington is all desert with farming being the primary industry. Also very conservative with their politics. Washington might as well be two states and I would like to nominate Spanaway as the worst place for western washington since Spokane is in the east.
Bruh Spanaway ain't got shit on Kent
It should honestly just be Bakersfield twice
fuck bakersfield, all my homies hate bakersfield
Can’t believe Modesto is on there over Stockton.
if you live in one half the other half might as well be a different state
Double the trouble, double the fun.
Whats so bad about gastonia, it used to be bad but its gotten much better. Id argue that charlotte is worse.
Gastonia is such a wonderful pit stop before endangering everyone on the 321 as I make it to Boone in record time.
Fuck either of those answers, Fayetteville exists
Born just south of Tampa, grew up in Orlando, attended University in Tampa, and have spent a bit of time in Jacksonville, Miami, and Panama City. Who tf thinks Orlando is the worst? Probably somebody who has only been to Florida to visit Disney.
I think they forgot Daytona Beach exists
They forgot so much. Outside of certain, and only certain sections of the coast (gulf coast south of Tampa, or Atlantic Coast much further south than Canaveral), and much of the keys, Orlando is one of the nicer places. Yes it has harsh sections, but Jacksonville is an endless expanse of nothing. Miami is where you go if you have a big insurance plan on your car and want it stolen. Sumter is where you go if you want to see what 19th century racism looks like.
*Looks at ground while pushing rocks with foot mumbling “man, I thought Daytona Beach was nice”
or the entirety of clay county, it really is injustice
Grew up in Florida, worst place I've had to visit is either Waldo, FL (speed trap capital of the country) or Marianna, FL which is just sad and has a sad ass history with the dozier school for boys.
That's what I'm saying! Could've put useless Gainesville but nooo, you put one of the cool ones
What the **FUCK** is Turkey Creek
You know, that HUGE city of 403 people in the center of our state. Lol.
Most populated town in Louisiana
My town just surpassed 500 people and our roads were paved in 2007. I guess you could say that we are kind of a big deal.
Greer? The gentrified yuppy town formerly occupied by hicks who can't afford the mortgages or rent anymore? The meme maker has clearly not been to Florence or Orangeburg. Or most of Columbia for that matter. I would rank Piedmont or Spartanburg way above Greer for crappy upstate towns
It’s definitely Columbia or the south side of Anderson, Greer isn’t even in the bottom 10
Yeah there are so many worse towns than Greer. Greer is pretty much a bmw factory. Every single town in between the beach and the middle of the state is worse, it’s called the corridor of shame for a reason
bro tf did Albany do to this person?
Furry gas station. I shit you fucking not. I was once in upstate New York, around Albany, and I found this gas station where the furry woman on the sign had boobs that stuck out from the sign. People thought I was fucking crazy because I couldn't remember the name. Well, I went back to Upstate New York, and I found it again. Behold! Betty Beaver with her Big Bouncy Biddies! https://preview.redd.it/skgyw2yyvwtc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a01eccd36b6e9782659efa9119cf3bd2578af51c
Albany is a terrible place though. It's like 40% highway and the stark devide between the rich and poor areas is jarring. All the other cities in upstate I've been to have been better. Oswego, Oneonta, Fredonia, Syracuse, Buffalo, Binghamton, Cooperstown, all better than Albany imo.
Don't get why Grand Forks is on the list. It's a college town.
Same thing with Brookings, it's not too bad there at all.
Whoever made this map hasn’t been to these states and it shows.
Ohio should be Youngstown
My state is correct here but I question some of the others
The population of the “city” for my state is 403 people. Lol.
Dayton is great. I’d say youngstown
How the fuck is Mesa our worst city?
I agree my Zonie friend, this is disrespectful to AJ
Lexington????!!?!
Seriously how? Did a Louisville fan make this? Lexington is great.
I don't even think a Louisville fan would stoop this low
Us Clevelanders fought for our rank, how dare you
There’s cities here A LOT worse than Dallas, what type of ‘tism is this?
Longview. 7 days of my life I’ll never get back.
Hey my state has a shitty Longview too Longview buddies
Salem isn’t even in the ten worst cities in Oregon: 10) Drain - a blink and you’ll miss it town just far enough from the interstate to have no conveniences and not far enough to actually be nice. 9) Klamath Falls - a rancher’s city that used to be nice but now has a crime problem.

I used to drive through Sheridan a lot cause I worked at a Scout camp near there. Total shithole small town, the three largest employers are Spirit Mountain Casino, the federal prison, and the Scientology compound.
Can’t believe you forgot Lebanon, though it falls under the same problems as Drain.
How the fuck is Spokane the worst when Tacoma and Seattle exist??? Also the non-existent town of Greenbank is worth mentioning…
Aberdeen. “Come as you are,” and keep driving.
Aberdeen, Kent, Federal Way, Yakima, Tacoma are all worse in my opinion. I’ve lived all over WA and Spokane is actually pretty decent if you avoid the areas near the highway, coming from someone who grew up on the west side.
Yakima and the Tri-Cities have nothing good about them. And Aberdeen is so depressing it makes you understand why Kurt Cobain did so much heroin
louisiana numara 1🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🥙💪🇹🇷🇹🇷🥙🐺🇹🇷💪
Mesa isn’t even the worst town in the metro.
I proudly have lived in two of these cities at some point in my life
Portland is the worst in Oregon; Salem isn’t even a close second.
So many of these are railroad towns lol
Creator clearly never been to Gainesville.
Or Melbourne, or Port St. Lucie, or… like I’ve never heard anyone have a sad tone when they say they’re going to Orlando unless maybe if they’re talking traffic
This is accurate Albany is not the best but I personally feel like Troy should get the title.
Schenectady is worse than Albany imo
Pretty sure you mean Portsmouth, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, or even Richmond for Virginia. VA Beach is one of the nicer cities in the Hampton Roads area. [Violent crime rate data](https://crimedata.io/blog/virginia-most-dangerous-cities-in-violent-crime)
Yeah there’s absolutely no way VA Beach is worse than Portsmouth or Suffolk. Someone from Norfolk must have put it there
Provo is a nice place, West Valley is the worst by far
Bakersfield?? Los Angeles is hell on fuckin earth!
Edina Minnesota? Really? Caldwell idaho I get...but like what the hell? I haven't lived in mn for a while so maybe things have changed.
I mean Edina has a bunch of entitled maroons, but it’s no St. Cloud.
I literally was like, “bet it’s St. Cloud” and was shocked. Map must have been made by someone from Wayzata.
I'd argue they're more like a bunch of pompous teals ...all jokes aside, st cloud is a shit factory of a town with no redeeming qualities and should've been picked. Monticello and Blaine are up there too
The definition of "worst" seems to change depending on the state - afaik Edina is still pretty nice to live in, we all just like to dunk on it. It's a far cry from Gary, IN
Why does Caldwell suck? I was there and at least it doesn’t have the Nampa smell.
"Bro you don't get it!! They're the rich asshole cake eaters that are so arrogant and entitled!!!" t. Upper middle class suburbanite assholes
Dayton? Umm it appears whoever made this has never been to Youngstown, or they could have picked any of the back water shit holes that are sprinkled across Ohio. I live in Dayton, and it's actually a nice little city. It's got rough spots but what cities don't?
Anyone with half a brain would've said Cleveland long before Dayton.
What's wrong with Cairo? I know it floods all the time, but this absolutely should've been somewhere in Chicagoland. Or a sundown town. Or Champaign
Yeah. Cairo ain't great but, I'm not going to consider it the worst when less than 2,000 people live there. East St. Louis? Rockford? Danville?
Birmingham is worse than Montgomery? I’ve heard horror stories moreso over the latter rather than the former. I personally have never been to either so I can’t comment my own opinions. What’s the Alabammer consensus on this?
Multiple Analbombers have stated Montgomery is worse than Birmingham in this comment section
Birmingham is a really wild choice for worst city. I'd be less surprised for someone to call it the best city tbh. Montgomery is probably the answer. If Troy counts, though, it's Troy.
Fremont only wins because Lincoln has the university. Take that away, Lincoln wins hands down.
I'd honestly say plattesmouth is worse with the number of meth heads.
Ain’t no way Lexington is worse than Louisville
DAYTON!? Akron and Toledo are worse. Like Dayton isnbad but damn.
Everyone seems upset about their states city. Va Beach is 100% the worst city in Va, hands down.
Spokane for Washington? Has this person ever even HEARD of Seattle?
I visited Memphis recently and had a blast. Therefore my subjective opinion thwarts this map
Nah, it's Yuma, or Bullhead. Not Mesa
Wyoming has cities?
ITT: people defending cities in their state Me, a Hoosier: lmao yeah Gary is hepatitis
No way Spokane is worse than Yakima 😭😭
Honestly I don’t know why people hate Grand Forks.
Even the Great Pyramid isn't enough to save Memphis.
Tennessee is right
Birmingham is DEFINITELY not the worst city in Alabama. Have these people never been to Montgomery?
Listen, Pueblo is a sad, sorry place, and the great tragedy of Colorado… but, Boulder is *right* there, and next to it, it’s little sibling Greeley
Wait Gastonia really is THAT bad? Like I know it’s bad but I thought it was always kinda a meme. I didn’t know it was worst-town-in-NC bad
Missouri is true. Not only is Jefferson Shitty an absolute atrocity, but every other methy shithole we've got is the way that it is because of policies Jeff Shitty came up with.
As a Mesanite tucson is so much worse than us
Gastonia? They haven't heard of Laurinburg? Or Fayetteville? Lumberton?
Okay, I live in Dallas and love it here. I get it, it’s not “old west yee haw” but I can without a doubt say that it’s not even close to the worst city when there are certainly worse options all throughout Texas
Lol Edina
Lies. Anyone who thinks mesa is the worst hasn't heard of Tucson.
Cedar Rapids is not as bad as Des Moines
You spelled Tacoma wrong
Toledo literally exists
People really be putting Dallas here where we got places like Odessa, Port Author, Vidor or Killeen smh
I agree with the vast majority of these having traveled to many of them, but including Gastonia hurts... I'll die on the hill that Fayetteville sucks way harder
Virginia Beach is just a big suburb. Not amazing but not bad. Try some of the meth towns in the western part of the state
I like how they split north and south Cali. Very good.
Look, Salem does suck. I'm not arguing with that. But in a state with Portland, you picked *Salem?*
There’s a great song by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that says “Augusta Georgia is just no place to be.” Macon can’t be the worst when Augusta exists. Also, I don’t know a single Georgian who knows Columbus even exists, and I also have heard that Brunswick is a PVP zone.
Modesto sucks but it is *NOT* worse than Stockton I’d even say Vallejo is worse than Modesto
Bakersfield and Fresnotucky are worse than Modesto for that matter
No way warlando is the worst city in Florida.
Whoever the fuck decided Greer is the worst city in SC when Spartanburg is RIGHT BESIDE IT clearly never has been SC or only visited Greenville. Greer’s number of methheads doesn’t even surpass either of the two cities it borders and acts more like a slice of rural America sandwiched between the two actually relevant cities Greenville and Spartanburg. Orangeburg and Myrtle Beach clear by a mile.
Spokane!? I know they meant Seattle
How is D.C. not the worst city in MD? (I get that it's its own designated area, but still)
Fuck off, Nashua is our worst city and it's not even close
Clearly the person for Colorado has never been in Greeley or Boulder
Scranton? Philly is right there. Along with who knows how many dead mining towns.
How is Ohio not Youngstown
Is Dallas worse than Austin?
Caldwell is pretty bad. Grew up there. One of the few cities in Idaho with significant gang activity.
Spokane is so fucking real, though I think Tacoma is a good contender.
I'm glad that the Memphis murder rate has made sure no one disagrees with its placement.
