Most of the US has overhead electric wires, though older city areas often don't.

Yes. Here in Chicago it's everywhere. Anywhere I lived in the states had them all over.

How is it possible that there is not a Forbes Magazine site ranking the ten ugliest cities, that you have to next-click through one page at a time? Isn't that what Forbes Magazine is for, to enlighten us all on the depth of their research?

Yes. But these wires are not so huge and numerous like in cities such as Bucharest and Bangkok. Bucharest has a nice architecture, but the wires make it one of the ugliest cities in Europe.

I'm not seeing the difference.

I don't see why cities of 3rd world countries were picked. Many cities in the 3rd world countries would, understandably, be 'ugly' because they don't have enough money or power to build beautiful cities. So for fairness, I will focus on 1st world cities...

Detroit (so plain looking and 'boring'):

Berlin (rather monotonous looking):

Dublin (it looks depressing):

London (just the suburban areas mind you, which look gloomy and disquieting):

Manchester (more like a town than a 'city', it looks so anemic):
