What city in your state gets a bad reputation? Is it actually as bad as people say it is?

[-]

TrapdoorSolution@reddit

Philly for sure. I grew up right outside of it and lived there for 10 years.

Truths? It is dirtier than most other big cities I’ve been to (with the exception of LA).

It does have an issue with gun violence, but those instances are pretty pocketed based on the neighborhood.

Drugs are also an issue, but similar to gun violence, this is pocketed.

We are insane sports fans, and are overly passionate about our teams. But what people outside of Philly don’t realize is how communal sports is here.

For the eagles first Super Bowl, from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed, I spoke to a million people I otherwise never would have batted an eye at. After they won, there wasn’t one report of gun violence for three days after. I know that’s kind of an ironically funny stat, but it shows how sports here really brings us all together.

Falsehoods? The idea that people here are mean. People here are incredible. I heard a quote once:

“People from the east coast are nice but not kind, people from the west coast are kind but not nice.”

Philly fits that to a tee. The same guy that flipped you off for cutting him off in traffic would also be happy to pull over and help you change a flat 5 minutes later.

Overall it’s certainly a gritty town (no pun intended) and isn’t for everyone. But I simply couldn’t imagine being from anywhere else!

Went to visit Philly a couple years ago. The people were excellent. Most were very friendly. And the lady at the cheesesteak shop didn’t bat an eye when I requested no peppers.

Love to hear you enjoyed your time here! I’ve never been to Texas but I’ve been to Colorado twice, it’s probably my favorite state in the country.

And LOL not sure where you went, but your classic cheesesteak normally doesn’t come with onions! Other places you might get a “no shit” but I promise it’s with love haha

Memphis, and yes

I don’t really know of any Texas cities that get a particularly bad rep as a whole, but parts of Dallas and Fort Worth are pretty rough. I’ve heard Houston has some really bad areas but I’ve never been

veritable-truth@reddit

Dallas and Ft. Worth were a lot worse than they are now. The 90s was the peak of it being really bad.

[-]

nakedonmygoat@reddit

Same in Houston. There appears to have been an uptick in road rage over the last several years, but I don't know if that's a national thing or unique to Houston. Other than that, though, today's crime stats are nothing compared to the late '80s and well into the '90s.

[-]

nakedonmygoat@reddit

Houston's main problem is its paucity of character. Most of it is just endless sprawl full of ugly strip centers. I don't feel like it has any more bad areas than you'd expect in the nation's 4th largest city, though. It's like saying, "Gee, Chicago and Los Angeles have some bad areas!" With millions of people, what else would you expect?

But the only areas where you'll see anything original or unique in Houston is if you stay inside Loop 610. It's grown harder and harder to find affordable housing of any kind in that area. Inner loop schools are mostly a joke, so people with young children tend to move out to the suburbs and exurbs if they can't afford private school. You can certainly get more house for your money in the exurbs, but I've never felt like those areas really had a soul, so to speak.

[-]

Relay13Incident@reddit

Houston. I’ve never been there myself but I’ve heard bad things from relatives.

nakedonmygoat@reddit

The main issue with Houston is the endless sprawl of strip centers and cookie-cutter neighborhoods. And the weather, of course.

[-]

1Negative_Person@reddit

I fucking hate Houston. I’ve spent a lot of time there. I’ve also spent a lot of time in much better places. Houston is a disgusting mess. There is no zoning. You’ll have a Walmart, next to a foundry, next to a sprawling soulless subdivision, next to a chemical plant. I hate it so much, and so should you. Dallas is more boring, but Houston gets my vote for worst major metro in the US.

[-]

cfbluvr@reddit

Complain about the lack of zoning but they managed to build a shit ton of cheap housing and are leading the country in tackling homelessness because of it.

I hate zoning because NIMBYs use it to push down people who don’t have housing. I’d take Houston’s zoning any day of the week over california or my current state of colorado.

Also not all of those plants are actually active. Many former factories and warehouses have been soft gentrified into quirky shops and art studios.

captain_ohagen@reddit

I lived in San Antonio for 5 years and Dallas for 1 year, and have traveled extensively throughout the state. Have made many trips to Houston on business. There is no way in hell I would ever live there but damn, Houston has the best overall dining scene in the state and one of the best in America, full stop. Personally, I don't like traveling to Houston or spending hours stuck in Houston traffic but I LOVE eating there

[-]

Ganymede25@reddit

I live in Houston and we do have amazing food. While our traffic is horrible, at least we have better frontage roads, exits, and Texas U turns than San Antonio. For some reason that city doesn't easily let you correct your mistake if you take the wrong turn or exit.

How is your answer relevant. The question is what city gets a bad reputation and is it as bad as people say it is. If you've never been how do you know? As a Texan it sucks. Different reasons in different areas

[-]

Penguin_Life_Now@reddit

New Orleans, and yes certain parts of it (anything outside the major tourist zones, and maybe places in it) do deserve the reputation

[-]

Kaos99@reddit

Milwaukee for Wisconsin. A lot of the state is fairly rural or medium sized cities so from my experience they see Milwaukee as a "Crime ridden pit". In reality, it's a city like any other with a lot of great things and a host of its own issues.

Claremont isn’t a city. It’s population 13,000. It’s only a city in the bizarre New England definition where it has a mayor and city council instead of town meeting and select board. It’s really downtrodden. High poverty rate. High rates of drug and alcohol addiction. Poor school performance. New Hampshire so no state services. It has a Market Basket grocery store as it’s one redeeming quality.

We've got a lot more than just Basque food here.

It’s basically like anywhere else. The bad areas are a. pretty bad, b. pretty extensive, and c. pretty obvious.

Much of the city ranges from okay to good. I don’t know what part of town you’ll be in or for how long, but the comment from u/CaptainPunisher below gives some good advice. And if you have time, a drive in the foothills/ mountains is beautiful.

[-]

CaptainPunisher@reddit

Fresno can be as fun as you are. Hit up the Tower district for some fun bars, niche shops, and an old downtown feel. Catch a baseball game at the Grizzlies Stadium downtown and check out the beer garden a little to the southeast of the stadium. Hit up some parks. The Riverpark Mall is fun to go through, too.

[-]

-Random_Lurker-@reddit

Fresno's not half bad if you don't mind the smell of cows, and stay out of the shanty towns. I mean, don't get the wrong impression, it's not dangerous. They won't bother you but they don't like outsiders, so they won't help you either. Or talk to you.

[-]

turdferguson3891@reddit

Stockton, Modesto and Redding feel left out.

[-]

-Random_Lurker-@reddit

Been to all of them, and Barstow still takes the cake. Stockton isn't far behind. Like if you take the worst part of Stockton, you know that area between the freeways where all the storefronts are closed, everything is beige and covered in beige dust and the freshest coat of paint starting peeling 30 years ago, and then you made an entire town out of just that part, you'd have Barstow.

I'd still rather live in Barstow than in Redding though. I'll take poverty over crazy in a heartbeat.

My homeland of Connecticut had a few. Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven. I'll defend New Haven to the death but the other two I get it.

I'm in Florida now and in Palm Beach County. This doesn't fit great with the original question, but whenever I see videos on YouTube about Florida people seem to think West Palm Beach is super rich. It's not. Believe me. Palm Beach is wealthy. West Palm isn't. There are pockets but the wealth disparity in the area is shockingly obvious. There are a lot of areas that I as a resident won't go through.

Wooden-Astronaut8763@reddit

Ogden or West Valley City are like the 2 cities here in Utah that tend to get the most negative attention with locals mentioning how rough these places are.

Yes, these places reportedly have more crime incidents than some of the surrounding cities, including Salt Lake. But these places are nowhere near as rough or as ghetto as parts of Houston, Atlanta, or Philadelphia. I think sometimes the perception is also due to racism because the people that often have this negative perception of these two Utah cities tend to live in the nicer areas like Sandy, Draper, or Layton which have different racial demographics than the 2 cities I referenced.

[-]

DummyThiccDude@reddit

Im from rural Minnesota, so pretty much everyone is scared of Minneapolis and the larger metro area to some extent. I understand people who just hate driving through the cities because im one of them, but its not the crime-ridden, apocalyptic burn pit that some of the real conservative folks think it is. I dont have any real authority to speak on it, though, because i never visit.

Edina gets a lot of hate. Its a suburb of the cities, and its very rich and very white. Apparently it is actually entirely populated by spoiled rich kids and "Karens". Once i again, I can't say on a personal level. But people online are very opinionated.

St. Cloud is another one. Someone else also mentioned it, and they're pretty spot on. It's isolated from the metro area, and it's just racist enough for everyone from there to hate it, and it's big and progressive enough for all the rural people to hate it too. The town is also just kind of designed poorly, and there isnt a lot going for it outside of a college, which has a rep as a party college.

[-]

pearsnic000@reddit

Spokane, WA. It has a reputation of being a crime riddled dump. No it’s not glamorous, but I really like the balance it strikes between “small town feel” with “big city amenities”. It’s also improved a lot in my lifetime. Areas of town that used to be run down and an eyesore are now nice areas with cool restaurants. The Riverfront Park area has become such a nice attraction and they do cool events and concerts there at the Pavilion.

There are places downtown that are a little sketchy, but what city doesn’t have those? You’re within 1.5 hours of like 5 different ski resorts (which is great every year except for this past winter, apparently… RIP), and if you love outdoorsy stuff like I do, you’re fairly close to the Cascades in central/western Washington and also not that far from Montana. If you’re into gambling, you have 3 large and nice casino/resorts within an hour drive as well.

And if you want to get out of the city, you’re literally a 5 minute drive from being in totally rural areas with rolling hills of cropland and small sleepy towns, not endless urban sprawl like you see in the more populated Seattle area of Washington.

Of course I’m biased because I live in Spokane and really like it here, but I grew up in a tiny rural town, and lived in Seattle for graduate school. I have found that Spokane is that perfect happy medium for me, and I definitely think it gets a bad reputation compared to what it’s actually like.

Totschlag@reddit

St. Cloud and no lmao. St. Cloud is not the nicest place in Minnesota but it'd be a top 10ish suburb where I grew up in St. Louis and doesn't feel all that different from any middle class middle of the road suburb of a major city. Has nice neighborhoods and sketchier ones, some crimes but nowhere near East Saint Louis or Memphis or South Chicago or anything like that. There's definitely slummy apartments but I can count less than a dozen ones in the 250k population city. Lotta immigrants, not going to hear English there in some stores as much as you may think. But overall? Eh, I just think Minnesota has a lotta nice towns and St. Cloud is a punching bag.

If you are from STL it feels like Collinsville IL, But I think Collinsville probably has lower lows. There's nice places there's some not so nice places but a far cry from a hellhole. Peoria in my experience is quite sketchier. Not that different than living in Westport in KC, except you don't get the nightlife and you're in a city of 250k ish and within driving distance of the twin cities.

It's an 1:15 outside of the twin Cities, so to the Metro it's out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. For outstate Minnesota it's a scary city with too many people and languages and immigrants. So it gets shit on from both sides.

It has a lot of somalis and some crime, but not a ton of crime compared to like, the bottom 30% of any major city? Make sure your car is locked, and don't walk through the crappy parts at midnight and You won't have much of an issue, or at least I didn't in my 5 years there.

[-]

DirtzMaGertz@reddit

It's all relative. St cloud gets shit on by Minnesota standards, but Minnesota doesn't really have areas like East St Louis. There's blocks in the Twin Cities that are somewhat sketchy, but it's still nothing like I've seen working in other parts of the country.

Greensboro. It’s a large city and sure, there are bad parts of it, but you can avoid them fairly easily and operate within the city limits just fine without worry of anything happening.

That being said, there are smaller cities and towns in NC that are worse statistically, but in my experience, Greensboro has a bad reputation just due to it being worse in comparison to Winston-Salem, which is practically next door to it.

Honorable mention, Fayetteville. They’ve done a lot of work in recent years to try and improve the city and the overall public outlook on it, and from what I’ve heard from people in the area, it seems to be working. Any remaining bad reputation is arguably undeserved and is just held by folks who went there years ago, or only really visited and never spent much time there, only really having the online reputation placed on it to go by.

SonoftheSouth93@reddit

Memphis, and no, it’s not as bad as advertised. I say this as a proud resident of the city: Yes, it’s pretty bad compared to a lot of other U.S. cities of the same size. However, from its reputation, you’d think it was far worse than it is. There are much worse but smaller cities in the U.S. (Jackson, MS, Flint, MI, Gary, IN, etc.).

Because Memphis is fairly large, it has a lot of nice amenities that just aren’t available in smaller cities. We have an NBA team, botanic gardens, a very nice zoo, a medical school, St. Jude, the largest urban park in the U.S., the list goes on. So despite the high crime, we also have lots of good things. And I haven’t even mentioned the food scene until now. It’s phenomenal, and I don’t just mean the BBQ. Memphis is the hub of the entire Mississippi Delta region. That means that despite having some of the poorest urban neighborhoods in the U.S., it also has a lot of the nicest stuff in that region.

It’s also not only affordable, but actually has a decent jobs base. That base is very blue-collar, but when you combine it with some white-collar jobs that come with having a few large companies and being a regional hub, you get enough money flowing through to actually take advantage of that affordability. I’m a young (33) equipment clerk at a warehouse. I’m on my third owned home, and I live in a nice, middle-class neighborhood. The price is living in the (statistically) most dangerous decent-sized city in the U.S. And yet, the crime basically doesn’t affect me, outside of keeping property affordable. I’ve lived in the city since 2017 (I grew up in the suburbs and lived in DC for a while). In that time, I’ve had two porch pirate incidents, and that’s it. And those were in neighborhoods that aren’t as nice as where I currently live.

TL;DR Memphis is, statistically, the most dangerous large city in the U.S., but that’s still fairly safe, especially if you aren’t involved in criminal activity. The trade-off of living here is that, if you can mentally put up with that situation, you get a lot of nice things for a pretty affordable price.

Modesto. People sh*t on us but if we and our weather were dropped anywhere else in the US, people would be flocking in. I feel like the central valley is the life hack for people that want California life but don't want to deal with the metro area BS. Houses here cost a quarter what they would fetch in the bay, but our wages are still pretty good. We get 3 months of hot weather, but it's still dryer and more pleasant than anything east of the Rockies. The other 9 months its amazing weather. Day trips to Yosemite or San Francisco are easy. Tahoe and Big Sur are 3 hours away in opposite directions. When I shop flights, i have 4 international airports within 2 hours. I can take Amtrack to San Diego or Seattle. I don't own and snow or ice removal stuff. I rarely wear more than a hoodie in the winter. I could go on.

Oakland gets a rap for being dangerous. Yeah. It's a war zone - mostly deserved, but there are some really cool parts to it.

Bakersfield, Fresno, Modesto, Stockton - couple of those get a rep for being methy. Yeah, deserved as well.
