What’s the most overrated city in the United States?

---

Do you mean for living or visiting? Or both?

Living - Los Angeles even if you are wealthy. Traffic there is insane with ten-fifteen mile commutes taking over an hour at rush hour. And to be wealthy in L.A. means you need to have proportionately more income as housing prices are extremely high. The homeless population is out of control and the city government is doing pretty much noting to solve the crisis. Speaking of the government, there's little hope that traffic, housing prices, and the homeless problem will be solved soon as many government regulations prevent the area from adequately improving its infrastructure. Not to mention the shittastic public schools, so you need extra money for private schools. The weather may be fantastic year round but I'm not sure L.A. is worth it unless you're rich.

Visiting - Nashville. Nothing wrong with it, but it seems to be the hottest spot to go ( One Big Bachelorette Party). Hotel prices downtown are out of control and outside of Broadway, I'm not sure what it has that really separates it from other Southern cities enough to be considered one of the trendiest cities to visit right now.
