As regards UK cities.. Glasgow, Birmingham and Nottingham. Never have I seen/come close to so much violence as in those cities. Nottingham funnily enough is the worst.
Leeds and Liverpool look grim, but actually the people are friendly enough.. or atleast indifferent. Leicester is a mostly Indian/pakistani city, so unless you're a BNP **** they're very welcoming.
Philly might be violent but that doesnt mean its a shithole. In fact much of it is very nice and friendly, it just gets a bad rep because of the gun violence which Im not denying does occur anywhere and everywhere. Philly is just a very OLD city, and some of it is falling apart, but like with most citys, theres places you dont go, and then theres places that welcome anyone. It's not bursting with industrial since its so spread out, so I would say other than the crime, its a wonderful city both to look at and to live in.
New Jersey. I drove through last year and the streets were lined with garbage. Tacoma has cleaned up a lot lately and the north side is actually really nice. I guess it depends on where in Tacoma....oh and Tijuana is a shithole too.
New Jersey isn't a city. America has become an ugly country. I'd say most cities I've been through have been shitholes, except for New York, San Francisco, parts of Philly, parts of LA, Chicago, parts of Boston (still eats New York's cum, though), parts of Denver, parts of Memphis. there must be a few I'm forgetting.
In Britain , I keep reading about the "wonderful waterside redevelopment at Baltimore".Sort of other places copying it...?LOL
Ooops. I meant Newark, New Jersey. Near the airport. I think Minneapolis and SantaFe are pretty clean too.
San Francisco's very nice. Altho I'd exercise extreme caution bending forward to tie up my shoe laces... PS Brighton Beach looks like a shithole
SF doesn't really have that high of a minority population, unless you count homos, but they're not a minority. ...and Asians are much cleaner than Latinos and Blacks.
Homos- yeah I heard they aint a minority there. Asians?You havent seen some of the Asian restaurant kitchens I've seen...
