even though Kinston kind of deserves to make the list a lot of of those little towns between say Rockingham NC and Myrtle beach SC are darn right scary to cruise through. mini Detroit wannabes.

I would just put "All Cities 100,000+ in Ohio" as one entry on this list. Up high.

This is the type of list all of us Texans want. Because of our states annex laws all a city like Houston or San Antonio has to do is annex 20 miles of suburbia to cancel out the 20 square miles of hood/ghetto in the city and we can pretend that the problems of our city aren’t that bad and we will never make a list like this. The reasons why lists like this suck is because depending on a state laws to incorporation and annexation a place like Florence-Graham which is essentially an LA neighborhood the city forgot to annex can place highly on this list when it clearly isn’t an independent city in anyway.

hmmmm...

To be fair, 14 of those 31 are in states that went for Obama at least once BEFORE they went for Trump. Doing the math, that means that 33 of the 50 were from states that voted for Obama at least one time. Maybe they went Trump because they wanted a change from the status quo?

I have visited many of those cities, never lived in any of them. My kids went to school in Tallahassee, but I did not see anything there to condemn it. No way would I live in any of them.

Your conclusions about Ohio notwithstanding, there are good reasons why Cincinnati and Columbus aren't on this list.
