With Miami, it's about whether its a tropical climate or not. We've had at least 5 topics on this issue and one of the topics has over 70 pages of replies. I think it's the most controversial topic about the city on C-D. Of course, my stance is that Miami is tropical. But there are guys like Rick Santos that would debate against that. What about your city?
What I can't stand are the fools that register accounts with their agendas pretending to live here when they live in cesspools like "Stafford" where the entire place is poverty driven and they claim to be multi-millionaires living in NYC and putting places like SF or Chicago down.
It makes the rest of us that enjoy living here look like complete A's.

Albuquerque
Crime mostly. "Oh yeah, Albuquerque...I saw it on the show COPS a few times". The show Breaking Bad doesn't help its image either even though I'm a fan. Weak downtown and sprawly neighborhoods also come up for discussion. Since it's the biggest city around for several hundreds of miles and the hub city for the state of NM it seems to have urban controversies on its radar that are generally up for discussion in much larger cities, though it's on the threshold of being in a metro area of 1 million + people.
San Francisco - highest cost of living in the U.S. (second only to NYC), lack of jobs, cold and depressing weather, rampant homelessness
Oakland - high crime rate
San Jose - boredom, suburban sprawl, no social scene
