East St. Louis. As ghetto as Gary or Camden but without the proximity to a cool city (sorry, I don't care for St. Louis).

There are a lot of places I wouldn't want to live. Like the towns that have like 15 people in them. Or the places that everyone lives, then commutes to work... Which I live now. It's annoying fighting the commute traffic. Even though so far I don't think it's as bad as other states... YET! But it's getting there!

Any place really cold.
Anywhere that there's no beach near by.
Any place that has nothing to do but hunt & fish.

The city of Detroit, hands down.

I was born there and raised in the suburbs. The suburbs are great, at least the ones I lived in. But the city of Detroit is such a dangerous ghetto. There are so many homes burned down, criminals all around, drugs, etc. You can drive down a residential street and every third house is half burned to the ground. It's awful.

(Plus it's over 80 percent black in population so it's especially not a safe city for us white folks to be in, unless we are going to a hockey game or something downtown. Then you have to hurry back to the freeway and hope your car doesn't break down getting out of the city!)

I am what you consider "white" and lived in Detroit in the 80's and am still alive. I don't understand your perception/insinuation that blacks equate to crime. Blacks are very similar to whites in "culture" but only the difference is that a large part of black community is poverty-strickened! (for what reasons i couldn't tell you)

Newark, New Jersey. Too ghetto.
Anywhere in Florida. Too hot, too many bugs, too many crazy folks and elderly people who shouldn't be driving anymore.

For me personally, any place that doesn't have a 4-season climate, and an affrdable cost of living.

What? You and I must have never been around the same blacks. Funny, considering you are from Detroit as am I. I would strongly and rspectfully disagree with that statement.
