what city do you hate?

Question

as of 2007

Answer 1

"Hate" is a very strong word and I do not use it in my vocabulary. However, San Antonio, Texas is #1 on my list of places I don't ever want to live in again. Being there put my allergies into a very sensitive condition. Thank goodness I don't live there anymore.

One of the pluses of being an army wife is that if you don't like where you live, you get to move again in a few years.

Answer 2

Cairo
Bar, Montenegro
and... Vancouver BC:

I'll get blasted for this, but sorry, gang- Van licks.
I lived there for thirteen years, recently returned a month ago, and can't wait to leave again! I watched it slide from a cool place into a vulgar, self-indulgent, arrogant, money-and-sports-and hiphop obsessed cliquey rat-race. There is SO much crime, and the drug thing is COMPLETELY out of control- (hey dooods- let's get stoned...)- people shooting up and smoking crack EVERYWHERE out in the open and nobody does anything about it. It's got one of the worst heroin problems anywhere in the world. There are needles all over the streets and parks. And now the bike gangs are setting up meth labs to go along with all the other drug problems. There have been thirteen killings since early October. There is currently an all-out gang war over drug turf. There are TONS of gangs, and they are doing killings every week. It's got air pollution like LA because of the mountains around it. The traffic is horrible. It's gotten SO expensive since the Olympics were announced. For entertainment, walk down Granville street on a weekend night and watch the bar brawls. There is no vacancy anyplace. Theft and vandalism is rampant, and it's not just the hordes of roaming junkies that do it. It's got the poorest postal code in North America. 97 percent of the prostitutes in the DT Eastside are HIV positive. It's FULL of flakes and nuts (Meusli city!)- you can't walk ten feet without somebody panhandling you or having someone's radical empowerment agenda shoved in your face. The medical system in BC has been cannibalised- there is no longer even a healthcare office here- you have to call Victoria! All the scummy streetpunks from the rest of Canada come here to live on the sidewalks and beg for drug change with their dogs ( poor animals- they deserve a real home!!) because it is warmer here. People say how great Vancouver is- I'm sorry to sound so negative, but they are just not looking at it objectively- they are blinded by the myth of the West Coast lifestyle, and by the beauty of the natural surroundings. I'm leaving in a month, good riddance, and I don't care what anyone says about my opinion. If you are rich, then you'll probably love it.This city has great nature around it, a lot of art and music, good location, but the city itself has lost so much quality of life, in my opinion. I'm moving to Europe.

Answer 3

San Francisco

Answer 4

Los Angeles and Cairo top the list....I really cannot stand most of the mega-cities I have been too. To much concrete and pollution and not enough trees and space.
Even places where I have really had a great time (like Madrid and Rome) I think would drag on you after awhile.

Answer 5

Whatever city in Southern Cali that all them millionaries lost their mansions in that fire and they tried to compare it to Katrina com'mon now those celebrities made 3 times the amount those mansions were worth when thery collected their insurance why can't they give back to society and donate to the lonely poor without havin to dip into the US Gov't Funds. And they gonna try to blame it on a child for starting the blaze . Didn't they know that it never rains in southern California!

Answer 6

Las Vegas

Answer 7

Las Vegas

Answer 8

Forsyth, MT (got stuck living there for 2,1/2 yrs, courtesy of the AF) average age of 1500 population is 72...no mail delivery...blizzards..
ONE grocery store (the next nearest was 45 mi away, ONE way.), the funeral home was also the furniture store ( like the 'old' west). They mistrusted all the AF, on principal. ( not because they delt with any of us on a daily basis.) 2 cops (who would follow all of us around town, they had nothing else better to do)

Answer 9

I am not fond of Ensenada, but I don't hate it.
I often say "I hate L.A.", but I mean the Dodgers, not the city.
I spent some of the most stressful moments in my life in Costa Mesa, CA, but that was not the city's fault.
I don't think I hate any city.
Though there are some that fill me with terror.

Answer 10

I hate Sydney. I was attacked by some ***** old lady on a bus, a drunk man tried to hug me and he was so creepy and none of the very large number of people near by bothered to help me in EITHER situation! I have also been overtly ogled by business men who spoke things about me in another language. Jerks.

Syndey people are horrible, just don't go there. Go to a NICE city.
