Well I don't know if you would consider Tallahassee a city (I don't personally), but the east side is actually real nice, some people have ranches and huge houses etc...perhaps this is more of a northern phenomenon? Any opinions?
ETA: nevermind, just saw east L.A. mentioned...although I think that would make more sense that the area closer to the coast would be more cleaned up and nicer cos wealthier people could afford to take better care of it.
