Some of you guys have seen the worst of the worst.
When I was young, my grandparents lived south of San Diego CA.
Several times I went to Tijuana Mexico...I can remember as a young boy wanting to kiss the ground when I crossed back into the USA.
We live in the best place on the planet.
What is the worst, most disgusting place you have ever been to?

I spent almost 4 months in India for work. I saw how cheap life is there. Sadly it looks like some of our major cities are turning into what I saw there

I’ve seen a few schit holes south of the border.
Belzoni Mississippi takes the cake though.

I was in Juarez Mexico back in the mid eighties. Back when you could go there without getting murdered or kidnapped. It was pretty bad even then.

I'll never forget the smell.
Open sewers, people living in cardboard boxes, poverty everywhere.
The outskirts of Tijuana were something I'll never forget.
I'm sure it looks like Beverly Hills compared to some places in this world.

In the U.S., Detroit. No question. In the world, the mid east except for Israel. However I've never been to Africa or Brazil.

I've been thru some of the worst area of Detroit.
I'd start with bulldozing down every abandoned house.

East St Louis, Illinois has to rank way up there. I didn't see anywhere in Vietnam that was as bad.

Port-au-Prince Haiti. 1984. Unbelievable how nasty it was.

Atlanta... biggest congress of Boons in the world. I wouldn't live there if you gave me the Gov's mansion.

LA several times. As nasty a place as I’ve ever seen. Shreveport is a close runner up.

Rode a train from Laredo Texas to Mexico City, High school trip. The slums south of Monterey Mexico were a sight like I’d never seen before.
Got lost in East St. Louis. Got detoured heading back to the air port. Pretty bad.
Hunted in Africa, pretty much all of Africa is a dump.
Went to buy angle iron to build a deer stand at an iron and metal place East side of Houston. They shut the road down I came off of I10 on. Started down a street that looked like would take me back to I10, didn’t go where I wanted. Ran across a fireman doing a charity thing at an intersection. He said keep going straight don’t stop at any intersection, roll through it, don’t look at anybody and you will hit 610 loop or some main road can’t remember. I had to drive through one of the Wards in Houston, not sure which one. It was bad roads weren’t paved, police didn’t even go there for the most part. It was one rundown housing project or shack after another.
Fished offshore off the Island of Antigua, any Island in the Dutch West Indies is hell hole.
This works is full of bad places. Some I’m sure worse than I’ve seen.
Thanks, Billy

In the United States?
Any area between Brownsville and Del Rio, Texas.
That entire area is a disgusting schit hole. In every way.
