DAMN I really got lucky with my spawn point

Hollywood. Please, DON'T come to LA. IT'S NOT WORTH IT! Sure there's the sign and the sidewalk stars, but it's smoggy, there are trash and homeless (God Bless them) strewn throughout every street, and anything being sold in your city costs 5x more in Los Angeles, or anywhere in CA. There's nothing to see.

I spent a good chunk of my life growing up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Despite all the danger, pollution, class disparity, etc, Los Angeles still manages to piss me off the most out of all the cities I've lived in. The most privileged twats on the planet thinking they're oh so open-minded and worldly while being the most sheltered, close-minded people I've ever encountered. It ignites a special rage in me to be talked down to by someone who thinks they understand the world because they went on a company-funded business trip to Seoul for a week.

Also Kathmandu dude is tripping, that city rocks.

Worst place I've been is Hollywood Boulevard. Lots of homeless, crowds, religious people yelling. Wouldn't visit again.

If you find yourself in buenos aires never go to the south side of the city

This is how all international travelers sound to me: "Oh yeah, I visited Hell for a week two years ago. It was horrendous. Fire and brimstone everywhere, flesh eating worms constantly covering you, men and women being eternally disembowled left and right... But the culture was so amazing and all the people were so friendly. Definitely was one of the best experiences of my life."

El Paso is easy to hate, but it isn't horrible - Ciudad Juarez is infinitely worse.
But it is true: El Paso operates on a completely different cultural wavelength than anywhere else in the US, and the border culture that makes it so unique also makes it a maddening place to live.

The worst places are in 3rd world countries, we just never hear about them.

I would agree with the first part of Karachi Pakistan. It is not a nice place to live in and people are also robbed at gun point, it is expensive as hell, and the people are rude, there is no town planning as well.

[nicelydunwell]

Guatemala City, anyone? No, because anyone whose ever gone there died.

[sawyertargosz]

Having lots of family in Utica, NY can confirm it’s depressing asf

[sovietblobfish]

Proud to see my beautiful city of Detroit not on this list

[Λυκάων]

Oslo is nowhere near close to a bad city, cmon....

[AshesAshes]

Got to agree about the inland empire, ca. We were warned not to go anywhere at night, and traffic signals were optional. My dad said Riverside reminded him of Korea during the war. A fatal carjacking a couple hours earlier nearly made me late my first day of student teaching. You couldn't teach because kids were hungry two weeks of the month and hyper from junk the rest.
I could write a book, instead, just imagine Camden with palm trees you can't see through the eye watering smog

Venezia/Venice.

Brown water everywhere. That is neither romantic nor beautiful.
Our tour was surrounded by "Locals" who demanded to see our local partner.
When we visited the glass museum, it was clear they put every single most expensive glasses within children's reach.

The worst citys I visit where Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, but if you know where don't go and if you're careful with some things you will be ok...

I'm half Argentinian and it hurt to say that ...

[nutmegdonkey]

to the person who said corpus christi, please stop, you've clearly never traveled, source: truck driver who's been to all lower 48.

El Salvador was pretty bad. Went there on a mission trip and got to hand out candy and hygiene stuff to locals. Also the cities smelled like rancid chemicals and the cops would rob you

[Abizaga]

I have actually been to the Dominican Republic myself and I agree. On the drive to the resort, we drove through a slum and we had to see homeless people, beggars, abandoned and closed down buildings. It was extremely depressing, and after that the resort itself just kinda felt really... fake, I guess. I mean the trip had its ups but man, it really put the whole vacation into perspective seeing that.

I would rather eat my oldest, dirtiest most worn pair of shoes than go to pretty much anywhere in the Middle east. I should point out that I'm white, American and a woman. I also refuse to go near any country without a proper infrastructure. No. I don't want to wade through trash or sewage because the city thought the victorian era of having sewage run through the street was the best method ever, get electrocuted by crappily set up electrical infrastructure that looks like an old picture from the early days of electricity, run over by a car because traffic laws are a suggestion, have to buy bottle water because that's safer than tap water that is as consistent as yogurt and as brown as pudding, no food and safety laws, air pollution or have to squat over a hole to go to the bathroom. Anyone who lives in an area like this . . . be the change. You deserve to have safe water, food, air and infrastructure.
