In my 20s I lived for a couple years on a block in Baltimore that was >90% black. I’m not going to argue with anyone who listed Baltimore as one of the worst.
I haven’t seen anyone mention Las Vegas but it deserves consideration because it’s so fake and unnecessary. Feeding the Colorado River to Los Angeles made some sense because there are organic reasons for LA to be a city, such as its ocean ports. Maybe Phoenix is also more justifiable. But Vegas was astroturfed for criminal political reasons and its site is in one of the most energy and resource intensive regions of the country. Mobsters using union pensions justified it because of nationwide unAmerican local gambling bans. People should’ve been free to gamble in their own hometowns all over the country. That would’ve saved all the traveling fuel and emissions to get to Vegas. All of the energy used to air condition all those big buildings is ludicrous, and of course we hear about Lake Mead’s water volume becoming a crisis, just like the rest of the Colorado River basin. Then think of all the social problems with hookers, drug dealers, deep state wind up shooters, etc
