Community member Publish Not your original work? Add source From armpits of the state to middle fingers of the country-some of the cities in the US are known for being the least attractive urban settlements. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so not everyone finds NYC or New Orleans pleasing, and perhaps some negative experiences would have influenced one's preferences. But there are definitely a few cities that stand no chance at not being called ugly and we are hoping that you are not living there. A curious user u/teddyjr32378 on the popular Reddit community r/AskReddit decided to find out 'What is the ugliest city you have ever visited?' and below are what the users came up with with, so you can let us know if you agree. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 Vegas. Although I wouldn’t call it much of a city; it was more of a clusterf*** of buildings, neon, and wasted lives all stitched together smack in the middle of bumf*** nowhere. doc360noscope , Flickr Report Final score: 103points POST ThePracticalSarcastic ThePracticalSarcastic Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Las Vegas is not just the strip...next time drive a few miles in either direction then you can pass judgement.

Bakersfield has a population of almost 400k and while there are oil pumps throughout the city and surrounding areas its not like this. There are also orange groves and many other fruits an vegetables. Bakersfield does have the most unhealthy air in America and terrible traffic.

I pullover to a pretty empty gas station. Just Some oily cardboard sheets spread out here and there. Trees pretty much envelope 3/4s of the sides of the building itself. I get ready to slide my card in the reader when 6 individuals start exiting the cover of the trees. Three guys take up sitting or lying down on the strewn cardboard and three women/girls of questionable age somewhere between 16 and 40 I ballpark approach my car and try to hem and haw and cough to get my attention. I pull my card back, say "aww s***, declines. F***." Get back in my car and speed away. In my rearview I see more people keep coming out of the trees. They didn't look pleased.

View more comments #17 No one has mentioned Watertown NY so I guess I'll make the case for it. I grew up in the Watertown area. Have since traveled all over the US many times. I've seen some downright awful places but I've yet to see a place that captures the same kind of energy that Watertown does.
Watertown is unique in that it has the perfect combination of a depressed economy, dilapidated infrastructure and poor weather. It gets positively hammered with snow in the winter due to its proximity to Lake Ontario and often sets records for snowfall and low temperatures. The winters are brutal and sometimes start as early as October and can last into May. It exists in what was once the bottom of an ancient glacial lake so the low elevation means constant cloud cover which makes it gray and bleak during the summertime.
On top of that, almost any art or music that is written about the place is about how bad it is. Frank Sinatra's album Watertown is depressing as hell. Harry Chapin wrote the song "A Better Place To Be" while he was in Watertown. There are more examples too. It's so depressing that it inspires people to write about how depressing it is. arisoncain , Wikimedia Commons Report Final score: 35points POST Cain Hargreaves Cain Hargreaves Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago There are so many towns in New York state that are absolutely miserable (Mechanicville is another one). 12 12points reply View More Replies...

In the summer it's kinda gross, but in the winter it's a muddy gray sh*tpile. Whenever I've found myself there I've felt like I need to escape it - probably in an old school bus with razor wire strung around it with sharpened broomstick handles protruding from the windows. vapidhooker , Flickr Report Final score: 33points POST H.L.Lewis H.L.Lewis Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I spent a week in Albany NY one night. 30 30points reply View More Replies...

CashgrassorNopass , Wikimedia Commons Report Final score: 16points POST Brandi VanSteenwyk Brandi VanSteenwyk Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I am thinking that perhaps Spokane intentionally avoided becoming "another Seattle" on purpose. There were many very-desirable rural/suburban features that faded out as Seattle became a major destination.

41Kviews Irmante SungailaiteCommunity member Publish Not your original work? Add source From armpits of the state to middle fingers of the country-some of the cities in the US are known for being the least attractive urban settlements. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so not everyone finds NYC or New Orleans pleasing, and perhaps some negative experiences would have influenced one's preferences. But there are definitely a few cities that stand no chance at not being called ugly and we are hoping that you are not living there. A curious user u/teddyjr32378 on the popular Reddit community r/AskReddit decided to find out 'What is the ugliest city you have ever visited?' and below are what the users came up with with, so you can let us know if you agree. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 Vegas. Although I wouldn’t call it much of a city; it was more of a clusterf*** of buildings, neon, and wasted lives all stitched together smack in the middle of bumf*** nowhere. doc360noscope , Flickr Report Final score: 103points POST ThePracticalSarcastic ThePracticalSarcastic Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Las Vegas is not just the strip...next time drive a few miles in either direction then you can pass judgement.

I pullover to a pretty empty gas station. Just Some oily cardboard sheets spread out here and there. Trees pretty much envelope 3/4s of the sides of the building itself. I get ready to slide my card in the reader when 6 individuals start exiting the cover of the trees. Three guys take up sitting or lying down on the strewn cardboard and three women/girls of questionable age somewhere between 16 and 40 I ballpark approach my car and try to hem and haw and cough to get my attention. I pull my card back, say "aww s***, declines. F***." Get back in my car and speed away. In my rearview I see more people keep coming out of the trees. They didn't look pleased.

View more comments #17 No one has mentioned Watertown NY so I guess I'll make the case for it. I grew up in the Watertown area. Have since traveled all over the US many times. I've seen some downright awful places but I've yet to see a place that captures the same kind of energy that Watertown does.
Watertown is unique in that it has the perfect combination of a depressed economy, dilapidated infrastructure and poor weather. It gets positively hammered with snow in the winter due to its proximity to Lake Ontario and often sets records for snowfall and low temperatures. The winters are brutal and sometimes start as early as October and can last into May. It exists in what was once the bottom of an ancient glacial lake so the low elevation means constant cloud cover which makes it gray and bleak during the summertime.
On top of that, almost any art or music that is written about the place is about how bad it is. Frank Sinatra's album Watertown is depressing as hell. Harry Chapin wrote the song "A Better Place To Be" while he was in Watertown. There are more examples too. It's so depressing that it inspires people to write about how depressing it is. arisoncain , Wikimedia Commons Report Final score: 35points POST Cain Hargreaves Cain Hargreaves Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago There are so many towns in New York state that are absolutely miserable (Mechanicville is another one). 12 12points reply View More Replies...
