I don't know how any of that area even exists..... there is no big agriculture, no commercial, etc? All those towns like Clear Lake, Lakeport, etc. must just survive off of tourism, social security, and crank lol. Years ago we would go there 3-4 times a year to fish but now I only go when my son has a tournament there, maybe once or twice a year ......stay in a air b&b and bring all of our own food.....don't even go out to eat there anymore......sad for such a nice area geographically ...... could be bad azz.

LOL At the very start of the "pandemic", I had to prove I was "essential" to the dirka dirka at the Super 8 Motel in Upperlake, CA! I asked the MFer if they get alot of people vacationing at the Super 8 in Upperlake! At least I'm over it! LOL

Amazing thread. Would be interesting hearing details on how many of those reporting these "shiitholes", ended up there. Thanks to all for sharing.

I spent a couple nights in a roadway inn south of atlanta. Looked good online with a nice pool. Got there and the pool was drained because dead cats were found in there the night before. Took a shower and the ceiling vent fan fell out of the ceiling and split my head open. Also pulled back the sheets and my mattress had a huge blood stain lol. Good times It was a Roadway Inn, what were you expecting, La Quinta?

In the United States?
Any area between Brownsville and Del Rio, Texas.
That entire area is a disgusting schit hole. In every way. Spent some time in McAllen/Pharr TX...couldn't agree more.

Flew alot out of Bahrain driving across the causeway was like whole different world once in Bahrain Hell of alot cleaner.

Rio7, JDK and Winchester21 are on the mark. Some other places in the area in/around Philly are just as bad.

I've driven through a lot of them. But the only one I saw up close was Baltimore. I got off the beaten path in Baltimore and drove around for a while in the biggest, worst ghetto I had ever seen. It was big enough that I had a difficult time finding my way out of it. At the time, it seemed like the entire city was bombed out ghetto. I eventually made my way to a business district in the center of the city. But it was small and as soon as you exited it you were back in the ghetto.

Pine Bluff, Arkansas would be a close 2nd to Memphis, just on a smaller scale. Folks there don’t realize the crap hole they live in. They tend to figure it out when they spend some time outside the region.
