Re: Which city sucks the most?

Waco.
Or maybe that religious enclave up in Colorado, whatever it's called. Co Springs.



edit: I must also add, there's a strip of urban blight (I don't know if it's an actual city) down near the gulf coast. It's not Houston. I think it's the Beaumont/ Orange area. It's full of factories. I think they're oil refineries or something. Petroleum factories. I don't know.
But it goes on for about twenty miles, and it stinks and it's horrible. Factory after factory. If you drive by it at night, it's like, all these smokestacks and smog and pipes silhouetted against the sky with flames spewing out of them. It makes me feel sad and sick and frightened to drive by it. It looks like something Dante Alighieri envisioned 700 years ago.
It's a bad, blighted place.

Re: Which city sucks the most?

My vote is for Bakersfield. It is one of the ugliest, most dangerous, most disgusting places I've ever been in my life. It seems more like Iraq than California.

As City's were stipulated.
Houston because it has the worst air pollution of any US City.

If it is, its got to be on the New Orleans side. Beaumont is nothing but dense trees and an occasianal office building in the distance that serves no real purpose but to make or populous than it really is.

What you probably mean is Amarillo/Lubbuck TX. There is nothing but factories and it the whole region is a desert. Also there is hardly any population but at least they don't try to hide it.

Re: Which city sucks the most?

I think I would have to agree with Colorado Springs.

Its bad enough to have to live in Colorado....but to have to live in an enclave with the ambundace of wacko radical so called "Christians"......I'd rather live in Death Valley.

It's Pasadena, just outside of Houston. That place stinks to high heaven... Literally.
