What city to avoid why?

[shinerbock]

The following cities for being disgusting: Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Miami

The following cities for crime: Philly, Houston(lately),Newark, Trenton

I don't think I'd live in LA because I just dislike LA culture. I doubt I'd live in NY either, it just doesnt suit me.

[Akkus]

Also the weather of the city i'm living is crucially important to me.

Detroit gets a bad rap. We enjoyed living there. I love New York. LA is OK. San Fran is wonderful.

The three places that pop into my mind as ones where I wouldn't want to live are Miami, Houston and Dallas.

Atlanta is on the borderline.

Buffalo is Gray.

I'm not sure I'd want to move back to Baltimore.

[shinerbock]

Yeah, I could live in Dallas, NYC is way too, uh, PC/liberal/diversityloving for me. Detroit though, man, my visits there have been horrible. No offense if its your home or something, but it looks like an abandoned junkyard.

Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Albuquerque, Oakland, and Des Moines

I hated Indianoplis (sp?) worth a passion.

[KSUViolet06]

Any large city in NJ. Atlantic City, Newark, Camden, I hate them all. So gross.

[shinerbock]

Cities I really like (not necc could live in)- San Diego, Naples FL, San Francisco, Seattle, Charlotte, Greenville, Charleston, Santa Fe, D.C., Richmond...

Anyway, the only thing I would agree with you on is Detroit. Some parts are liveable but that's the surburbs, and I don't do suburbs.

I would avoid L.A., Columbus, Minnesota and pretty much any city in the south. I favor east coast cities more, especially NYC. As for Canadian cities, my heart will always be with Toronto but Montreal is also an amazing city.

[shinerbock]

yes, diversity loving. I don't like places that just thrive on diversity. It doesnt do anything for me. I'm more of an all-American type hometown kinda city. I like eclectic things fine, but NYC is like the worlds melting pot, and I'm not into it.

Somebody mentioned Jacksonville, thats kinda weird. I mean, I don't think I'd wanna live in Florida, but Jacksonville is nice for FL.

If we're going international.. then I could EASILY live in London. I love it, and go there at least every other year to see my friends who live there. It's charming, clean, and full of friendly people.

Of course I live in the suburbs now anyway. :P

Actually, some of my cousins live out there. From what they tell me about the people from my community, I am going to avoid that state like the plague :-)

The cold does not bother me since I've lived in Canada and currently in Michigan.

I don't think I could live in cities in the middle of America, or anywhere too far north (too cold!) ... I could live places on the West Coast, in states along the southern border, and in the South.

I really hated Detroit the times I've passed through it, but maybe I just missed the good parts (?). Odessa, TX, is one of the nastiest smelling and ugliest looking places I've ever been, although everywhere else I've been in Texas has been nice. I've been pretty freaked out by visits to some Southern cities where segregation is still pretty firmly in place - people glared at me in Mobile because I apparently crossed the color line by asking the wrong person for restaurant recommendations

My favorite city is DC. Atlanta is probably second favorite. Still lots more to visit, tho'
