Been to some bad places in the world.... never felt comfortable taking advantage of the misfortune of others. Never seen anything to even come close to Pakistan or South Africa. Today the blacks control Soweto, it is still there, only the ones preying on the poor are black and Cuban Communists, RSAs chief trading partner in the world. Kissinger could have screwed the pooch worse, just no telling how....stupid is as stupid does.
Look that up on the nightly news, nada, crickets.

With all the garbage coming into the country, we will soon be able to list most anywhere in the United States as a crap hole. They will be squatting in every nook and cranny.

Not too much jet setting myself Mostly places I could drive to or ride a motorcycle to.
NOLA away from the F.quarter and touristy areas. Same on the other side of the Rio inside of meckseeko. Get away from the resort areas and mercados and it'll shock the sensitive people. it was an amazing sight for somebody that's never seen a dozen people living full time in a pallet and cardboard "house " and sh*ting and p*ssing wherever the urge hit whether it be in an alleyway or a busy crowded street intersection. I can see how the hood rats think it's ok to let a piece of trash fall from their hand as soon as they're through with whatever. That's the way they lived there

In the '90s Indianapolis wasn't any picnic either. My wife got off the wrong exit at 2:30 in the morning and decided she better wake me up. Negros were everywhere and some were trying to walk in front of the truck to stop us. Thankfully we didn't have to shoot our way out of that sheit hole.

Downtown Portland Oregon takes the prize for me. I’ve been there twice in the last couple of years to buy some very hard to find pieces of lumber and I could nit get out of that mess fast enough.

Been to many of the U.S. cities mentioned and have spent some time in Manila Philippines.
I think some depends upon time frame and i think most big US cities have areas that are relatively safe and areas best avoided if possible.
In the Philippines, there are people in abject poverty living in tin and cardboard huts who are relatively happy - probably moreso than many in the USA. You do get a reminder about the value of life though when armed guards inspect your vehicle before you can pull into the hotel parking lot, your belongings are searched by people and dogs before going through metal detector before going into hotel. Then again when valet gets you a cab and copies down all the cab driver info, records, and verifies before letting you get in the cab so they can track them down if you go missing. That said, my wife and I ran around a decent amount of the Philippines and Manila- including at night - without any issue at all.

I have never been out of the country, but when there was interstate construction in Memphis, Tennessee and I had to drive through the hood, I thought I was in a third world country.

I've seen more than a few, but the worst IMO was Dacca Bangladesh. Upon landing in Thailand (my next stop) after that trip, I had my clothes burned.

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

The worst [bleep] hole I’ve ever lived in were Washington D.C. NW and 1968 riots, Kumasi, Ghana, and Victoria Fall, Zimbabwe (inflation 30% per day.

Atlanta and Amman, Jordan. Jordan was nothing but dirt, rocks, dust and trash.
