    i have no great fondness for any city as a place to live. this is not a matter of animosity however, which i feel would be rather pointless.
    they are places to shop, possibly work, and perhaps go to school. otherwise the have no good reason in our current technologically connected world, to continue to exist.

    i would say the least pleasant place i have personally lived was sacramento. partially this was due to climate.
    cultures and landscapes are constantly rebuilding themselves, so go away from some place for ten, fifteen years, and only the climate and some of its more iconic architecture will have remained unchainged, and even that which does, its setting and surrounds will have.

    sacramento has redeamed itself as much as it can by building its "light rail" system, but climate of course, is beyond the scope of even major infrastructure projects.
    portland oregon likewise bennifitted greatly by building its. seattle i haven't been to since they built there's. but they did have trolly busses and the monorail.

    reno i live in now, and am dissapointed by its lack of computer electronics and scale model building supply venues. its climate still preferable though to california's central valley.
    the only thing i have against ashland oregon is that i didn't get to live there long enough. same goes for eugene and the rural forested areas beyond grants pass.

    Oakland, CA. It's an embarrassment to the human race.

    Waukesha, WI….a den of conservative prurient education hating knobs whose pass time is throwing turds at the smarter liberal residents of Milwaukee and Madison.

    Cities have deteriorated recently. The uptick in crime and narcotics use. The Undocumented everywhere. Such a difference is a short time.

    Yes. public transportation is great as long as it is safe.

    The ultimate civil right is the right to personal safety.

    New York / Long Island. I think if that whole island broke free of it's moorings and floated out to sea, nobody would miss it. "Oh, it's the greatest city in the world"....just keep telling yourself that.

    I can't tell documented humans from undocumented humans. Quite a talent there. Every human should be documented, otherwise how will those who control keep control.:cool:

    Hard to believe, but Bangkok. The city itself is so dirty and noisy and chaotic. The Palace and temples are sublime, but I avoided the city. Food good everywhere. So many other great places or were... Ko Phangan for one.

    Took a bus trip into New York City one time during the Christmas holidays. Never do that again.

    San Francisco. Dirty, run down, crowded, terrible traffic and the weather... I am not a fan of fog and cold rain.

    Try to find parking there! When you achieve that great feat, you return to find your window broken and everything you left in there gone... (never happened to me, fortunately). And if you do manage to find some parking in a garage you're gonna pay thru the nose. $30 a day sounds about what it was 8 years ago.

    Detroit, New Orleans, and St Louis MO are the top 3 for me. I also avoid highly conservative areas whenever possible

    Back in my childhood days, my mother used to take me up to Oxford street in central London, to see the lights and look what was on offer at the overpriced shops.
    It was the end part, waiting about an hour in the drizzling rain and then cramming into a crowded bus to get home that I remember the most. :(

    A bit like central London at Christmas. All the lowlifes in the surrounding area come out to collect the presents that you have left for them on the seat of the car.
    Since I stopped working in Leicester square in 1987, I have been back twice and that was for friends retirement parties which it would have been rude to miss.
