Do Americans realize how bad New York City, Denver, and San Francisco, are?

[Anonymous]

NYC (Manhattan) being the worst but all of these places have become messed up. Denver was so normal before the pandemic and when I visit it looks more like New York. Sam Francisco also was very nice in like 2018 but it looks like New York now.

You should've seen San Francisco back in the 90s and early 2000s; I don't think there's a single city in the country that has fallen harder than they have.

[Asker]

First time I went to San Francisco was 2006. Yes but not bad as New York post pandemic.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Throwin mad shade at Manhattan there with no actual reason aren't ya? Sure the traffic is god fucking awful and everything is ridiculously overpriced but I still had a lot of fun there in October of 2022.

[Asker]

Manhattan back in 2007 was what Dubai, Zurich, Singapore, is like now. Now it’s like Baltimore.

[Asker]

Most people dress like thugs there. The sanitation is like Mumbai. Illegal migrant epicenter and it has a drug, and homeless problem which is not normal for a cold northeast city. The New York is depressing and lost its touch harder than San Francisco even if you find a cool club it’s still the most fucked.

[Asker]

Oh yeah and the city also constantly has riots after the death of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. A true shithole.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Have you ever been to Manhattan or even New York? Watching footage on CNN does not count as actual experience.

When Stupid People run things bad things happen.

And no, Donald Trump is definitely not the answer.

[Asker]

It’s more local politicians for these places. I think that’s more of the answer.

[zagor]

Sadly most people know even less about their local politicians than they do about those at the national and state levels.

LA is a lot worse than Denver

[Asker]

Los Angeles has always been bad. Downtown and Hollywood are almost as bad as Manhattan much worse than Denver but Denver was nice not long ago. I do miss Los Angeles though.

[NYlatefun]

It even close. NYC is still the best city in the US by far.

[NYlatefun]

*Not

[Asker]

Miami right now, back in 2007 I would agree.

[NYlatefun]

Dude, Miami? That’s the least interesting place, no culture, people are so shallow, dude, no.

[Asker]

International city, good quality of life, better clubs, I like the food more, I like beaches more, and the people are more interesting to me than New Yorkers which are mostly douche transplant women from states like Minnesota, or poor black, and Dominican/Puerto Rican people, which don’t have the values Cuban Americans do typically.

[NYlatefun]

You have no idea. But I get it, it’s not for everyone.

[Asker]

Washington square park disgusting, Times Square third world like Penn Station, and Port Authority, the new updated version looks depressing also. Madison Square garden garbage in there, Central Park sucks, Harlem is horrible, Brooklyn is also horrible, snobby, I hate the LES, don’t even get me started on the Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens.

[Asker]

I hate St. Marks, the Lower East Side is not cool anymore at all, East Village, Union Square is really bad, Grand Central and Midtown just soooo bad.

[Asker]

Drugs and sketchy people everywhere. I was born in Manhattan lived in Lower Manhattan during 9/11 and the city lost respect for authority. Drug addicts and nutzos worse than San Francisco.
