Flipside: What is the worst city you ever visited and why?

[Cleita]

271. Me neither and I lived in various places within the county and city

for over thirty years. Jobs and other obligations kept me there, but when my DH retired, we quit all that and we moved away. We went back once to close a bank account and some other ties we had left over and I've never been back since. Sure there are some cool things to do and nice places to live if you are well off. But the ordinary working class schlub just doesn't have the money to do those things and are nickeled and dimed for stuff the wealthy just don't have to worry about like parking fines and such. As far as the less expensive things to do like the beach and Griffith Park, they are over crowded and often dangerous. It used to be you could take a nice drive through the canyons, but more and more of those have become gated off as exclusive enclaves for the wealthy.

The only thing I miss is UCLA because the university has the best libraries to do research at if you want to look up stuff. I find our libraries where I live now pretty inferior in that respect, not their fault but funding problems.
