New Zealand has a 'Shit town of the year' election and honestly it's a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.

'Red' states. Texas, Florida, etc.
The sad part is they have a lot of really nice stuff in them. It's just that the people in them want me not to exist, or, if they concede my right to exist, want me to be an underclass citizen who anyone who isn't in my reference class can shit on.
It's hard to be in the metro areas of these states (Atlanta, Austin, Miami, etc) because they are being held hostage by the state government and are gerrymandered to hell.
Ah yes, the shithole states.
Bavaria
Flevoland (the Netherlands). It has Urk and Almere, what's more to say?
Texas or Florida
London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It's a moneysuck to the extent that I don't know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big Β£12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.
May not be the most popular opinion in this thread, but hell I love British people hating... stuff.
That's just as well cos we don't get up to much else. Not that we're total cynics; sometimes we're happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.
This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.
AraucanΓa (Chile π¨π±), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.
Special mentions:
-
Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It's a common joke among chileans that we should just "Blow-up Talca" or that "Talca doesn't exist".
-
EstaciΓ³n Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed πͺ) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. ππ«
Any Autobahn.

Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants... assuming we exist.
Are you saying their hubris makes them the worst? Or is it actually terrible in Madrid and the locals are unaware?
More about the former, in my opinion.
