What is the One Major US City You Would NEVER Live In? (to live in, title)

[highway29south]

New York city and Pittsburgh, where I live now. NY because it's way too busy and Pittsburgh, well, just read any Pittsburgh thread!!

lol you must have only been here in the 1970s, if you even have been here, because it doesn't smell that way at all.

NYC is full of interesting smells, but it's definitely not all or even significantly **** and vomit.

Atlanta. Heat, humidity, Deep South culture, sprawl, and high crime.

Before you say anything, yes, I live there now. Just moved from Michigan. Trying like heck to get out.

Miami is probably my number 1. No offense, I just don't think I'd like the weather.

Dishonorable mentions, primarily for the same reason as above:
Houston
Atlanta
Phoenix
San Francisco
San Diego

and many more.

By the way, what's a "fake" liberal? Someone who's really conservative but claims to be liberal, or superficial liberals?

Different from SF because SF has nice scenery and good weather

Fake liberal is one that talks the talk but does not back it up

Too many to list for me. But a few at the top of my list I would never consider are:

San Francisco
Detroit
Miami
New York
Boston
Any city in New Jersey
Gary
Houston

Now, if I was forced to live near these cities for job reasons, I would choose the upper middle class suburbs and commute in.

How much time did you spend in Dallas and Houston respectively and what did you do?

I was there 2 weeks ago. Our office is just off 42nd st and yes, it still had that aroma to it. Not everywhere in NYC smells, but Ive come across more foul smells in that city than anywhere else.
