BS list. I've lived in Washington DC. There is no way in hell it's dirtier than San Antonio.

Unless they are specifically talking about southeast DC, I wouldn't know what that's like as white people do not go there.

I've driven through it a couple times and got mean mugs and stares at every stop light. I felt quite uneasy. That's just the way it is. Ask anyone else that's lived there.

boston? NY? Above SA? Nah, not buying it. Wonder what they based this on??

One of the cleanest public bathrooms I ever saw was at Bryant Park in NYC. Second place was at an outdoor mall in Denver. In San Antonio I have just learned to hold my pee until I get home.

The bigger cities are always going to be dirtier than small towns, especially densely populated areas.

Take a walk along Schertz Parkway... I've been walking along there off and on for over a year. The amount of trash off in the bushes beside the road is amazing... there was even a dead deer there once. Guess the coyotes ran off with it because now gone.

All of the TX cities are very similar on this.

The list is from a place where you can vote multiple times.... I wouldn't put much confidence on it.

Our roads used to be cleaner. You can thank budget cuts for the lack of trash pickup on the highways.
