New York City--too dirty, run-down, and deteriorating (the Tappan Zee Bridge was very old but I didn't know it was the most likely victim of another bridge collapse). On the ground the buildings are nondescript. The skyline is also nondescript with the lack of color. Ugly apartment buildings stick out between the landmarks. Why do the landmark skyscrapers have to be some sort of beige?
I would add most of Nassau County- there are some nice towns (Roslyn) but overpriced- I should have named this thread cities which are un-liveable
Albany
Binghamton, NY
No one with west coast info?
That comment really scares me! I am going to move to Nassau County in September!
^^^^^^ Which suburb/rural area do you live in that is so much nicer That is a pretty broad slam on one of the world's most beautiful, cosmopolitan cities, and one of the greatest and most unique cities in history by all accounts.

last time we were there was 2000, and it was one of the ugliest cities. Dirty and overcrowded. Traffic everywhere. May as well move to NYC without any culture or museums, just Targets.
Read what year the above says. You did not write that. That was not intended for you.
Mobile is nothing like NOLA in trashy.
Don't even try to compare Mobile to NOLA because Mobile would take a butt whoopin from NOLA any day of the week. I am the first to admit that New Orleans is not that great but it is most certainly better than Mobile.
1. Detroit
2. Philadelphia
3. Baltimore
4. Newark-Atlantic City-Bayonne-Jersey City-Union City-Elizabeth-Patterson-Camden (the New Jersey dump)
5. Buffalo
6. Pittsburgh
7. Cleveland
8. New York City (jumbled mess, and mostly ghetto outside of Midtown and Lower Manhattan, overpriced, no greenery except Central Park)
9. El Paso, Texas (a Third World country, uglier than Monterey and Guadlajara in Mexico according to people who's been there!!!!!!!)
San Diego--Since this is one that hasn't been repeatedly named on this thread, some explanation: I lived there briefly with family a few years ago. Never again! The natural setting is (or, perhaps more aptly, "could be") truly gorgeous, but the "created" environment is one of the most hideous I know. Filthy, run-down, precious little character, a dumpy and tiny downtown for a city its size, many shades of brown and tan and little else (on the ground and the buildings), lots of industrial wasteland, stupifying sprawl everywhere, need I continue?
Charlotte, N.C.
Durham, N.C.
Greensboro, N.C.
Virginia Beach, VA and environs
all of the Northern VA sprawlbelt
Morgantown, W.V.
Houston, TX
Gary, IN

You're entitled to your opinion, but you don't know what your missing out on
Whatever though, I guess that means one less car or person i'll have to deal with next time I go there!
