Something wrong on this list if Gary, IN isn’t included.

Here in Memphis, crime is the 2nd highest in the country, and 1 out of 17.7 residents was robbed here according to the latest FBI numbers.


That's insane.

This is probably one of the worst cities I’ve ever been too. The traffic is awful and almost as bad as Los Angeles, which has something like 5 times the population. Most of the areas outside of the central business district live in poverty, the schools are way below the national average, and the food pales in comparison to New Orleans. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone visit or move here.

The best part of Baton Rouge is that it is located pretty close to New Orleans, and is Louisiana’s state capital. The thing that stood out the most is the horrid traffic and degrading infrastructure.

it reads like AI butt its not far off

Crime is same as most major cities. It is very cosmopolitan with all sorts of amazing ethnic foods. Cost of living is also pretty good given it is a major city. Lots of job opportunities

Hermann park is lovely as is Discovery Green. There are many food options here for all budgets and easily accessible. There are lot of sporting and cultural activities such as the annual rodeo etc.



Compelling case by roadsnacks.net on how terrible Houston is.

I live in a suberb of Memphis and definitely not worst places to live. I'm not sure south Louisiana understands how bad your roads and infrastructure is, first hand experience the worst business development, neighborhood zoning, overall cluster everything between BR and NO is..even nice areas are a disaster.

Cleveland could take a meteor strike through its a-hole and it still wouldn’t come close to being the shithole that Baton Rouge is.

Sure, Cleveland isn’t a booming city, but its overall crime rates have been steadily decreasing for the past several years, and it has arguably one of the best healthcare hospitals in the world along with a top-tier research university. To rank Shreveport and Baton Rouge above Cleveland is retarded.

Detroit, Clevealand, then everything else is a very, very distant third. The only redeeming feature of Detroit is the UP, which is like 4+ hours away. You move out the the 'burbs in Memphis, or Bham, or even further out into the country, and it is beautiful, and people are nice. Move 1 hour South of DTW, and it just smells worse. 1 hour north, and SURPRISE, Flint is worse. I could go on all day.....

Birmingham? No. Even if you limit it to the city limits, it is way better than a lot of other places.

I can’t speak for other cities, but like Birmingham, I’m sure there’s two cities within each city. Parts of the SE quadrant of Birmingham are extremely nice, mostly filled in DINKs consisting of doctors, lawyers, and researchers at UAB.
