Has to be a city you visit because of career, familial, or other obligations.
Elaborate on why it sucks.
My vote goes to Dallas. LA wannabes. No real city center. Zero urban or architectural character. Too hot. Texas.

Let's keep this to major metro areas that have at least one pro sports franchise (WNBA doesn't count).

My vote goes to San Francisco:
- no real summer
- always foggy
- quite windy
- sealocked
- too hilly
- third world highway system
- public transport is an embarrassment - I mean, really, cable cars? WTF.
- GG Bridge attracts mostly suicidal people
- and the list goes on -

Too many illegals. Ban sanctuary cities, now. -
Washington, DC
- too expensive
- too many hipsters
- too many thugs on the Metro (when it is actually working)
- bad traffic -
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the country. If you can't enjoy SF, you're a real turd.
I'm going to ignore the rules and cast my vote for Johnstown, PA. It's a sad, dying former steel/coal city with nothing at all to redeem it. -
Can anyone sing the virtues of Pittsburgh PA?
-
Have been to a lot of cities on business. I second the comment on Dallas, but I have to say that for a grey, boring place with a lack good hotels and restaurants (which makes business trip livable), the winner is Wichita in winter. There is no there there (sorry Jim R).

1. NYC: just hate people, too many of them and my personality doesn't fit.
2 D.C: work here everyday and I hate every second of it outside of rock creek parkway where I can run. Too many egotistical indulgent political wieners. Plus the roads here are not structured correctly for the amount of people that it has and it will only get worse. -
Cleveland by far. Run down and racially charged. I might as well have been in San Salvador.

San Francisco is actually quite welcoming to turds, such as the ones smeared all over every sidewalk. SF is a dump. -
Beaver Falls is better. wrote:

-Great running
-Decent food?
-A genuinely unique atmosphere. When you go to Pittsburgh, it's not like "same old sh*t, new place".
I can't say much outside of the city proper, but I liked it. -

I've never seen anything like that. Have you ever been there? -

Have you ever lived there? Cause it sounds like you've just been there as a tourist who went to Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square before your little jaunt to wine country - from Union Square, a 5-minute walk to the Tenderloin will take you to the sites of which he speaks. There are homeless people all up and down Market Street and the neighboring streets - and unlike other cities, they tend to get crazy/violent. You literally have to hold your nose in some areas, the stench is so bad. -
Yeah Dallas takes the prize. Just a big concrete void populated by vacuous mouth breathers
Very very strange place. -
I lived in SF for a few years, and while I love it, it does indeed have a lot of dangerous areas with aggressive, mentally ill homeless people right in prominent downtown locations, much worse than Philly, DC, or NY.
Many visitors to Philly also hate it. Dirty and quite dangerous.
NYC is generally a great place to visit, increasingly shitty place to live. Same thing for DC.
Dallas is my least favorite location for business travel. -
Omaha, Nebraska. Trust me. At least most of the other places listed have something going on.

As soon as I saw this thread I thought DFW metroplex. My wife's family lives there, and it's awful (and what makes it even worse, in addition to the craptacular city, is that they don't drink).
My wife's brother-in-law's work is about to make them move to NW Arkansas and my wife and I aren't sure that's a downgrade from DFW. -
Sacramento, CA. Dead, boarded-up downtown filled with aggressive, mentally ill homeless.
-
Almost every city in Texas would get my vote. Houston. Dallas. Etc.
No mountains.
No national parks nearby.
No oceans nearby.
Hot and humid in the summer.
Cold in the winter.
Miserable winds.
At least San Antonio has the Riverwalk.
Honestly, why do Texans think their state is so great? Have they actually been to places like Colorado? Utah? northern Arizona? the Pacific Coast? the Cascades? the Sierra Nevada? -
Portland and Tracktown USA except for the running-related aspects in each. Horrible politics and tons of homeless.
