neither Dallas or Houston is visually boring. People know that. Just naming these cities outta spite.

I'm talking about gray, dull, looking cities or towns. Decrepit, old factories and buildings. Abandoned, trashed out lots/lands. No scenery. Hardly skylines. Flat land for miles. That kind of thing.....

I live just outside of Orlando in Clermont and when I moved here there were rolling hills of citrus groves...now all developments. I agree with Disney..I worked there for years and you do start to think you are in your own cement filled, backdrop fantasy world and forget about Florida's real beauty. When I left it was like being released from prison My biggest reason for leaving the State is to see beauty again.
My daughters live in Palm Beach County and will never leave. One actually left Nantucket to return.

I couldn't get the links to open...I'll google it direct. To be fair when I was there was in 1991 and I had to drive down from Auburn every day and the road in was horrible. All I saw was lots of construction, road damage ( typical of NYS though from the snow) and nothing pretty. I really didn't look into the suburbs.

Glad you were able to escape the concrete jungles of Disneyworld.

San Jose, CA. Especially given the huge population.

If you want to see a really ugly and boring "city" try Killeen, TX. You people who put cities in CA and FL on the list don't know how much worse it could be...

Yeah the only city in TX that I've heard of people really liking was Austin.
