Full of lies. I live in DC and it seems like everybody from everywhere is dying to live here. It's probably the safest big city in the country. You just wanted to make a video and make money on UA-cam. You know nothing jackass.
Matt, my last two vehicles, Camaro and Jeep Grand Cherokee, were made in Detroit. I've never been there but I hate to see a once great American city fall so far. I'm from Baltimore where there is no hope
There are literally only 18 American cities with an MSA population over 3 million, meaning two of the top ten "WORST" big cities to live in are also in the top ten "BEST" big cities to live in.
I seriously don't know how you do it. Having lived in Portland and having spent a good amount of time in Seattle, you did a better job describing those cities than most people who live there could. I learn about all sorts of places on your channel without even having to go to them. I don't care that they take a long time to make and upload, when they are uploaded they are beyond worth it. Keep them coming.
I live 45 minutes away from Detroit. Yes, I’m the past 60-70 years it has been deteriorating rapidly, but Detroit is really starting to turn around as businesses are actually starting to move in and many formerly abandoned areas are being renovated. I go to Detroit often, and yes, there are many bad areas, but the heart of downtown Detroit is such a fun place to be, especially Campus Martius park and so many great restaraunts and places to go. Yes, Detroit isn’t the best city, but it definitely is turning around and I wouldn’t be surprised if people and businesses really start to move back to detroit.

As someone who's lived in Chicago literally all my life, you're right, the crime is not as bad as the media portrays it (still not great, but definitely not "Chiraq" level bad, that's just pushing it). The weather is wild, it can be in the 80s one day and in the 50s the next, its insane weather. You get used to it, and it becomes funny after a while, even kind of like an inside joke for Chicagoans, but it isn't too bad (sometimes). As for congestion, yeah, we have that issue lol, and it's annoying. Otherwise, I love this city, so much to do here, you never get bored.
Do you live in the bad, Chiraq areas though or you're speaking from a person's perspective that isn't in the hood? That makes a difference especially since Chicago has a super segregated history. I want to understand because I've heard very different opinions from young men who lived there.
@@ladya3302 My neighborhood isn't exactly what you would call the hood, but it's definitely not what you would call Beverly Hills either. I am surrounded by the worst neighborhoods in the city though (Englewood, Auburn Gresham, etc.), so those neighborhoods and their crime are only like 5 minutes away.
@@Senystyn Every large city I've been to has been like that. I felt completely safe walking around San Francisco at night. I literally walked from one side of the city to the other. Also, what crime stats don't show is that lots of policing jurisdictions fudge their stats. For larger cities, the more crime they report, the more federal assistance they get. For suburbs, the few reports they make, the safer their cities look, which keeps property value artificially high, which keeps tax revenue rolling in.
Oh trust me It's bad. Its just the fact that there's like what 7 million people in Chicago right? If there's 10 shootings over the course id a 3 day weekend it'll get blown up in your local news for views which means money for them. But for the crime It's self Chicago isn't even in the top 10 for crime i don't think. Crime based off the ratio if residents in the city/ town so like for example a town some where in west bumble fuck with a population of 45 thousand residents can be considered more dangerous than Chicago if they get let's say 1 shooting every 2 weeks over Chicagos 10 shootingd in the course if 3 days
title: Top 10 WORST Big Cities to Live in America for 2020 him: "Actually, we start with an honorable mention, You" me: wow I have never been actually insulted as a worst big city before. I take that in. that was innovative !
Very interesting, but I'm suprised New Orleans and Houston weren't mentioned in this video due to their crime rates and occasional nightmare flooding/hurricanes.
Houston was #8 on our best cities list, but honestly, #8 on that list through #7 on this list are all so close. They have a lot of great things about them and a ton to do, but also a lot of negatives. And New Orleans's metro population is actually only 1.2million! I'd say it definitely feels a lot bigger though so it will most likely go on our worst medium cities list. Hope you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere Yes, it was a very interesting video. I've been to most of the cities listed in this video by the way. Just never been to Baltimore (thank God) and I've never been to San Bernadino, Riverside, or Miami.
Houston is a super city. Crime is concentrated on just a few areas, where I live and commute is super safe. Traffic is bad just like any other big city. Jobs are thriving and the income here lasts for longer!
@@theforeignerinamerica1817 Good for you, but even if crime and traffic weren't major issues there, the bad weather still is. 2 days ago, I saw on TV just how bad the flooding in Houston was this week. I can't swim in case of that kind of emergency, so yeah Houston, and to be honest Texas in general just ain't the state for me.
OMG, that constant inflection in his voice drove me nuts! I couldn't finish the video. But I did find it odd that almost every city on the list is also on other lists as the cities most people want to move to.
New York City should be on this list. It is overcrowded, overtaxed, and extremely expensive. Plus it’s crime rate after being very low is rising steadily. It is also a heavily polluted city as well.
Especially in 2020, where it has plunged into chaos and crime and seeing record numbers of residents permanently leaving. Definitely an obtuse omission.
If I made a list on the top 10 worst US cities to live in 10. Albuquerque, New Mexico 09. Shrevport, Louisiana 08. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 07. Jackson, Mississippi 06. Hartford, Connecticut 05. Cleveland, Ohio 04. Memphis, Tennessee 03. Baltimore, Maryland 02. St. Louis, Missouri 01. Detroit, Michigan
Thats fair, but he mostly called it bad when the expenses were high and the average income was so low. Thats what leads to things like poverty, homelessness, and litter in the city
A lot of these places used to be nice. The new reset governors are promoting crime and they're making it to where you can't even protect yourself they're literally legalizing crime and defunding the police these people have lost their minds just a matter of time things are going to get really bad sooner than people think
I agree with some of the stuff about San Francisco, but it is an amazing city. With great culture and energy, San Francisco is also close to many great beaches.
Yeah honestly one of my favorite places to always go back to. Such a beautiful city with so much to do, but the extreme cost of living and new wave of rich people entering has definitely changed the place
Kiwi Mapping Yeahh gotcha I went to Chinatown an I was walking an saw human shit on the sidewalk an when I had gotten to SF it just smelt so bad but yeah
@Brendan Sullivan If you go from June to September not normally. In August, I went to Pacifica beach (right outside of SF) and it felt like 100 degrees.
I'm from Riverside California and I loved it there. Everything mentioned is true. I will always love the I.E (anyone who's from there does) but I had to move to Missouri...45 min east of Kansas City and I can't believe the difference. You can actually afford to live here and even though it's boring in comparison to the I.E it's nice to have more job opportunities and live without struggling to much
I think Washington, DC has a lot of charm, once you get past the monuments. Walk around the Capitol Hill neighborhood, around the northwest section of the city, and Georgetown, and you'll see what I mean.
Detroit city limits has problems but the metro Detroit area for the most part is a great place to live. Very safe, nice houses/ condos, tons of amenities, affordable. There's a reason over 100k millionaires live in Metro Detroit. Most people don't even think about the problems in the inner city.
I live just South of Atlanta and thus go there frequently, and I can say that it is not a bad city. There is so much to do. In just a few minutes you can drive from one of the most popular theatres nation wide (Fox Theatre) to the 20 time winner of the best steakhouse in the US (Bones), and from there to many other equally great buildings in the city. There is so much to do at Atlanta.
10. San Fransisco - too expensive - earthquakes 9. Chicago - too expensive - too cold - traffic 8. Philly - high unemployment - high crime 7. L.A. - too expensive - overrated 6. Atlanta - bad traffic - high unemployment 5. Miami - too expensive - hurricanes 4. DC - too expensive - high crime - dull 3. Baltimore - high crime - very dirty 2. Inland Empire - high crime - 1. Detroit - high unemployment - high crime Just gonna ignore NYC I see...
nyc is the safest big city in the US, nyc has best transportation, best policing, good enough education and low crime rate, why would you put it on this list?
@@lonewanderer412 Which parts of NYC is considered safe? Surely don't Brownsville. And other reasons to be on the list would be too expensive, too cold and too many people.
Kev Electric Highway what do you mean which dude, google safest big cities in us and first city you will see is ny, considering it is the most populous city in the us as well, it is considered safe, weather is ok i guess, not too many hurricanes or floods there, as well as one of the highest 911 response rate in the nation, if you add charisma of the city, history and architecture as well, i don’t see why it is a bad city, the only problem i see is rats and litter, but thats a universal problem for every us city
@@lonewanderer412 I didn't see NYC number 1 anywhere. Then again I don't know how to compare NYC to any other big city since it's the biggest. In any case, being safe is only one attribute in this video. Nyc is still insanely expensive like other big cities on the list.
@@lonewanderer412 NYC has similar crime rates to LA and almost as expensive. The conurbation populations are also close with NYC at 21 million, LA at 19 million.
It was a great city full of trams until the automobile forcefully fucked it up, and then the automobile left. GM shit in its own nest and then flew away to build another nest to eventually shit in.
Why Tesla not move to Detroit? I bet it can save this city. Good infrastructure and cheaper labor. But I guess current employees don't want to move there. Sad
If you want my advice on living, go to Montclair nj, best suburb in the state and it's only a trian ride away from the amenities of nyc, with great public schools, it's the perfect place if you want access to a city without city problems.
DC Native and live in DC proper and even though I've been to a gazillion small towns and small cities and medium cities and other larger cities even there aren't too many places I would move to outside of Washington DC.
I’ve been living in Baltimore city for 6 years, college and I’m working living in here and it’s not bad as media show , wherever they say just don’t believe media ,Your have to experience it yourself.
i have lived in maryland, suburbs of dc, northern virginia for many many years. if you are a doctor, engineer, businessman, teacher, lawyer, then you will be fine.
@@GAURAV25855ify The Wire was set in Baltimore because the show's creator and executive producer, David Simon, had been a reporter at the Baltimore Sun, which is the city's daily newspaper. So it was the city he knew best. Had he been a reporter at, say, the Chicago Tribune, you would be talking about Chicago right now. Baltimore has all of the major problems that most American cities have -- plus the bad PR that comes from over-exposure on TV crime shows.
YES!!!! I knew my city (Chicago) would make this list!!!!! Traffic is pretty bad over here and the roads/public services are horrible. But on the flip side, there are lots of great neighborhoods and the lakefront is just beautiful.
Amazing video! I absolutely love Chicago and not just because it’s home to me. Crime isn’t too bad if you stay away from the South. Philly is a hidden gem too.
Tennis Videos Agreed. Personally I think a major problem of Philly is actually the bordering Camden, NJ that brings a lot of crime into the city. Many beautiful rust belt cities are struggling unfortunately. Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland used to be beautiful cities. They still are!
Stop Misandry and Gynocentrism Wow really? I thought Texas is the place to be, I mean like everyone is moving to Texas. That’s interesting to know. I actually liked Texas when I was on vacation, it’s just way too hot and humid for me.
Yeah I love the gta version more they show less homeless and definitely less problems like traffic but the real life la in some areas that are less invaded with homeless actually looks good
Yeah only bad things he says about Miami for example was weather, housing costs, and wage. Meanwhile sf housing prices were over 3x that, high unemployment, over 100 national average in crime, high taxes in ca, 10k homeless, and poop streets...but miami is somehow ranked worse.
@@jettanyx1 SF itself is a rather small but dense city, and the city itself is pretty bad. However, the region around the city is extremely beautiful and there are more to the Bay Area than just SF. All things considered, I think Bay Area generally has more diversity in terms of people and jobs, while Miami is fun for vacation, I wouldn't want to be surrounded by frat bros and retirees.
Tony Soviet lol preach. The rest of the Bay Area is beautiful, albeit expensive housing and prices in general. I live in the Bay Area, I can attest to this. I personally don’t like going to San Fran, there’s not much to do there except pier 39 or the mall on Bart :/
Tammy Jensen He says the metropolitan area, which in the case of San Francisco includes an area that stretches all the way down to Palo Alto. So a lot of the bad stuff is cancelled out by the fact that surrounding suburbs are some of the safest and best places to live in the US, despite the costs.
Very nicely done as usual. Appreciated what you said about Chicago since I grew up there (in a western suburb). I still and always will have a soft spot for Chicago but wouldn't move back there. It's startling to hear how much higher the violent crime rates are in Baltimore and Detroit - they really are much higher than the other big cities you mentioned. When you mention the subjective category of charm or interesting-ness, or lack thereof like Atlanta & San Bernardino/Riverside, I always agree with you so you should not shy away from giving your opinions. I just recommended this topic to Briggs but I doubt he saw it so the following is fair game: what California metro areas are increasing in population the most based on out-of-staters moving in? Much is made (by Briggs and Nick Johnson & others) of where Californians who are moving out of state are moving to. But California is still increasing in population so I'm wondering whether people from the rest of the country are still flocking there like they once were and to where specifically - LA, San Diego, San Francisco & San Jose per usual or is the immigration into the state more spread out now?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the videos and hearing my opinions on a city's charm and character :) And I'm not sure honestly, could be interesting to do a video on that, but I'd assume the big cities. Most of the people moving to Riverside/San Bernardino and Sacramento are from the bigger metros in state and just got priced out of their respective markets.
I've been living in Detroit for the last 3 years. This city still has a lot of struggles ahead of it but there's been a lot of effort getting put into economic revitalization lately and it feels like things are really starting to turn around and there's a lot of genuinely cool stuff to do around here. Above all else, it's nowhere near as dangerous as it's hyped up to be. There are so many neighborhoods here that do not look even close to what you showed lmao, maybe try actually coming to these cities rather than just shitting on them based on media depictions
Sometimes I feel the bad rumors about certain places in American are done on purpose. They’re just trying to scare people to not move to their city and raise the cost of living even more 😂 😂
Agreed. In reality the most dangerous city in America It wouldn't even be St Louis. It's Oakland. If you watch videos about Oakland you'll understand the definition of cursed cities.
Very good list! I have watched both your best and worst big cities and mostly agree. Since there are only around 20 3 million+ MSAs, The 8-10 on both the best and worst lists are more like average cities. The top 5 of either list are the ones where the differences between positives and negatives are more apparent.
As a person who’s lived in Miami my whole life, you definitely got it right 😂. I laughed at the Bipolar Weather cause it’s true and in hurricane season we party 🎉
I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and my relatives live in San Fran so I’ve been out there plenty of times. Chicago is worse in terms of violence/murder as well as the potholes in every road mentioned in the video but in terms of overall dirtiness and poverty San Fran is significantly worse. There’s literal shit all over the streets and homelessness seemed to be more prevalent than in Chicago (where it’s still a problem). The people are a lot more rude and just somewhat weird in SF (might just be because it’s in California though). Both have awful politicians/policies but San Fran seemed like a much worse place to live in my opinion. SF does have more tourist attractions than Chicago though like Fisherman’s Wharf which is definitely worth checking out.
@@koshea44 SF is simply prettier. Much more beautiful nature , ocean , weather , wine country nearby. Chicago is very flat and doesn't have sites like Golden Bridge in SF. Politically both really suck.
SF itself is bad but the region is great. Lots of natural scenery, Napa Valley is just 30 mins away and it is a gorgeous wine town. Chicago is just plain drape and boring all around. In addition, I rather cope with stepping on shit than being shot dead walking around.
Adrian G. I would agree in terms of natural scenery and the landscape itself SF is definitely better than Chicago. But I’d still much rather live in Chicago because of the people and the other reasons I talked about.
The Lake + the Chicago skyline is all the scenery I need to be happy. But I'm a Chicago native, so it probably helps my contentment that IMO "flat" = "the default state that land should be" 😆.
@Chooey Sooares 8,000 square miles is not tiny. 6.5 million in the ATL is smaller than 18 million people in LA for sure. Atlanta is spread over 29 counties a size greater than Massachusetts. Of course eastern counties are much smaller than western counties.
@@pittsburghpirate58 idk what you’re talking about Atlanta is not spread across 29 counties. Most of it is in Fulton and Dekalb. Cobb Gwinnett and Clayton are metro Atl.
@@edwardblaha1744 Rockdale County, Henry County, Douglas County, Fayette County are also part of the metro Atlanta area. Cherokee, Forsyth, and Newton counties are in there as well. Atlanta ain't big like L.A. but it has grown a lot. I grew up in Decatur, Georgia in DeKalb County.
He says metro area. He says his criteria in the beginning of the video. If he meant 3 million or more just in city proper. Only New York and LA fit the bill.
I live in the Miami suburbs, the housing is crazy down here, I do not now how people poorer then me (I’m lower middle class) survive without moving into the sugar Cain fields out west. Our weather is not crazy though, it’s actually very predictable with the exception of a sun shower happening every now and then, but You missed out on the worst part! There are so many irritable old north easterners.
Yeah I was looking at the stats and I was like woah haha. Yeah I guess my only experiences in the area were always in Summer which is when it gets pretty crazy. I'm sureit's nice the other 9 months of the year though. And who doesn't love some retired New England transplants hehe ;)
Nyc is a tyrannical shithole over 80% of our economy is gone and the wealthy have all left. The 4 boroughs have gone to shit, manhattan is teetering. Majority of Manhattan remains shutdown and void of the clusterfuck streets and crowded sidewalks it used to have.
Philly honestly isn’t that bad. North philly is the only really “dangerous” place. The cities around it are what is really bad. ie camden, chester, trenton, etc
Continental Carm Statistically it is the worst big city in America. (Some sources have Detroit as medium) It is pretty bad and growing up there i think i def have forst hand experience. I’m just saying its not a 3rd world country lol
I'm 27 years old and i make around 100k a year but I travel 90% of the whole year so i only live in my apt about 8days ouy of the month. Every year I've moved cities. lived in Scottsdale Az in a luxury 1 bedroom in old Town area for 1690 a month, I've lived in a luxury studio in in St.Louis MO for 1050 a month. I lived in nice 1 bedroom apt in Kansas city for 800 a month then I lived in a really nice luxury apt in Anaheim California for 2100 a month. Now im currently looking to move to either Austin or New Orleans
im from Miami and now live in Atlanta lol Miami is a great city my issue is the low pay and expensive housing but overall awesome city. Atl is soooo boring bro. its cool but not much to do and I plan on moving back to Miami after college or just move somewhere else
Atlanta isn't boring, they have many events there and plenty things to do. They have great restaurants and parks. I would prefer Savannah Georgia though.
$AN DIEGO IS THE BE$T. We are so underrated. Like soooo underrated. It’s so beautiful and there is much land left. Nobody takes us in mind. I love it here, and we are never consider a big city but we are super big. At the same time
@@jammin9061 I don’t know my family has business up there and they kept burning there dumpster and blocking people from entering stores with their protests so not all that great
Lived in Atlanta after I moved from Honolulu. From 2009 till 2019 the ATL was my home. But Atlanta only has one downtown and 2 sperate other business districts. One being Buckhead and the other Midtown. The other two high raise business districts of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody are in Metro Atl but not in the city of Atlanta. They are their own independent cities. And have been since 2005 and 2006 respectively. Honolulu has bad traffic but Atlanta is 100 times worse. But I enjoyed my 10 years living there. There was always something fun to do. Mind you I'm from NYC so I have literally lived in some fun places. And, ATL wasn't that bad. But yes it's crime is kinda high compared to other cities. Shit I lived in NYC and Boston most of my young life and was never robbed. In Atlanta my home was robbed 2 times. Once when I was in Honduras on a training mission as a reservist. Good times Atlanta good times...
I seriously hope I don’t see NYC on this list 😫 Edit: I am so satisfied haha. I’m heading into college and I live in PA. I take frequent trips to NYC (not as much during the pandemic) but it is my favorite place to go. So much culture, talent, history, and food. There is an endless amount of things to explore and I find that many people there are very open minded and knowledgeable. The “New Yorker attitude” in my opinion is simply a no tolerance for disrespect! I look forward to calling Queens my new home in the next 5 years, so I’m glad NYC a wasn’t on this list!!!
Yeah Philly isn't the place to be right now, but it is home for me. Alot of friends have moved out of the city because of the high rent/housing prices, crime, and being offered better employment elsewhere. The spotted lantern fly invasion hasn't done the city any favors either (at this point I'm praying for cold weather)
It made the "Best big cities to live in" video 😂. And if deserves it, I mean the crime is lower than the national average and it has su much to do, but ofc it isn't for everyone; as it is overcrowded and extremely expensive
@Aringinator Tbh NY people are way kinder than people from my country, I know they say they are the rudest people in the US. But I was just amazed when by the kindness that people showed to me. I stayed at an Airbnb in Queens, actually in Jamaica, I never felt insecure tho.
I live near Washington DC and when you said that it's super expensive, has horrible schools, and that people base their personality on their jobs, you weren't lying! It's still a cool and chic city though...
I think it should be illegal for cities to be SO ASTRONOMICALLY expensive when the quality of life isn't really matching for most of the residents..... Watching videos like this, it's like why tf do we let this happen? Why does it have to be in some cities where there's really no middle class and people can't live comfortably ..... are we just going to let that pattern consume the country since people are pushing out of these metros and to other nice places ?
DC is ok but I prefer to live in Montgomery County Maryland. I live in Silver Spring its much cheaper here than in DC but I want to move to Bethesda next.
The IE is expansive, but that’s because it’s in such a prime location like no other. We’re 1 hour away from LA, 1 hour from the mountains, 1 hour away from beaches, 2 hours away from San Diego, 3 hours away from Las Vegas, 3 hours away from the border of Mexico right near San Diego, 4 hours away from Phoenix AZ and there’s just so much to do with endless career opportunities. You can go snowboarding, surfing, and hiking all within 3-4 hours of driving in the same day.
@Usa mabaho Fairfield County (Greenwich, Darien, Westport, etc) along with the western suburbs of Hartford are beautiful. The Fairfield County NYC suburbs are Beverly Hills North.
I get it. in 2018 I left Vancouver Canada, constantly considered one of the cites with best life quality in the world ( although it is considered expensive for Canadian Standards). Then, I decided to move to London, which I have always loved. I had been to London as a tourist but once I started living there you realize how expensive it is and you start getting critical when it comes to traffic, security ,accessibility, rent, etc.. YES, you have easy access to culture, cuisine, etc, etc... but u pay a high price considering how much you get back from your taxes , especially when you know there are places in the world like Vancouver where you can have better quality of life for a more affordable life style. But at the and of the day, it is your choice.

Thank you. Almost turned it off after 2 minutes of rambling.
I thought Riverside-San Bernardino was a part of Los Angeles I didn't know they separated like that but it's all good.
As someone who's lived in Chicago literally all my life, you're right, the crime is not as bad as the media portrays it (still not great, but definitely not "Chiraq" level bad, that's just pushing it). The weather is wild, it can be in the 80s one day and in the 50s the next, its insane weather. You get used to it, and it becomes funny after a while, even kind of like an inside joke for Chicagoans, but it isn't too bad (sometimes). As for congestion, yeah, we have that issue lol, and it's annoying. Otherwise, I love this city, so much to do here, you never get bored.
Do you live in the bad, Chiraq areas though or you're speaking from a person's perspective that isn't in the hood? That makes a difference especially since Chicago has a super segregated history. I want to understand because I've heard very different opinions from young men who lived there.
@@ladya3302 My neighborhood isn't exactly what you would call the hood, but it's definitely not what you would call Beverly Hills either. I am surrounded by the worst neighborhoods in the city though (Englewood, Auburn Gresham, etc.), so those neighborhoods and their crime are only like 5 minutes away.
@@Senystyn Every large city I've been to has been like that. I felt completely safe walking around San Francisco at night. I literally walked from one side of the city to the other. Also, what crime stats don't show is that lots of policing jurisdictions fudge their stats. For larger cities, the more crime they report, the more federal assistance they get. For suburbs, the few reports they make, the safer their cities look, which keeps property value artificially high, which keeps tax revenue rolling in.
Oh trust me It's bad. Its just the fact that there's like what 7 million people in Chicago right? If there's 10 shootings over the course id a 3 day weekend it'll get blown up in your local news for views which means money for them. But for the crime It's self Chicago isn't even in the top 10 for crime i don't think. Crime based off the ratio if residents in the city/ town so like for example a town some where in west bumble fuck with a population of 45 thousand residents can be considered more dangerous than Chicago if they get let's say 1 shooting every 2 weeks over Chicagos 10 shootingd in the course if 3 days
Come to Cleveland after the summer it’s dark all day everyday you can’t tell when to get up and then it snows until June
title: Top 10 WORST Big Cities to Live in America for 2020
him: "Actually, we start with an honorable mention, You"
me: wow I have never been actually insulted as a worst big city before. I take that in. that was innovative !
I don’t think Riverside should be in thIs list. It is more like a suburb.
Yeah, Riverside-San Bernardino doesn't really look like an urban area at all. And he said Atlanta's sprawled around.
They give its own metro but if you've ever been there you'll see it's just a suburb of LA.
This guy is a con and obviously knows nothing about what he’s ranking. San Bernardino is shit but Riverside is actually really nice.
Yeah, but San Bernardino is right where it belongs.
@@carsongauthier1535 San Bernardino is worst shit since worst shit
Very interesting, but I'm suprised New Orleans and Houston weren't mentioned in this video due to their crime rates and occasional nightmare flooding/hurricanes.
Houston was #8 on our best cities list, but honestly, #8 on that list through #7 on this list are all so close. They have a lot of great things about them and a ton to do, but also a lot of negatives. And New Orleans's metro population is actually only 1.2million! I'd say it definitely feels a lot bigger though so it will most likely go on our worst medium cities list. Hope you enjoyed!
@@FromHeretoThere Yes, it was a very interesting video. I've been to most of the cities listed in this video by the way. Just never been to Baltimore (thank God) and I've never been to San Bernadino, Riverside, or Miami.
Houston is a super city. Crime is concentrated on just a few areas, where I live and commute is super safe. Traffic is bad just like any other big city. Jobs are thriving and the income here lasts for longer!
@@theforeignerinamerica1817 Good for you, but even if crime and traffic weren't major issues there, the bad weather still is. 2 days ago, I saw on TV just how bad the flooding in Houston was this week. I can't swim in case of that kind of emergency, so yeah Houston, and to be honest Texas in general just ain't the state for me.
The reason I don't want to live in Houston is the weather
OMG, that constant inflection in his voice drove me nuts! I couldn't finish the video. But I did find it odd that almost every city on the list is also on other lists as the cities most people want to move to.
New York City should be on this list. It is overcrowded, overtaxed, and extremely expensive. Plus it’s crime rate after being very low is rising steadily. It is also a heavily polluted city as well.
Except -- that for many people who live there it is the only place in which they could live.
Facts
Especially in 2020, where it has plunged into chaos and crime and seeing record numbers of residents permanently leaving. Definitely an obtuse omission.
@@goodfella2400 stop watching Fox News
@Ricardo Campos stop reading the New York Times. Better yet, keep reading it and stay there so you don’t leave and ruin another state.
If I made a list on the top 10 worst US cities to live in
10. Albuquerque, New Mexico
09. Shrevport, Louisiana
08. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
07. Jackson, Mississippi
06. Hartford, Connecticut
05. Cleveland, Ohio
04. Memphis, Tennessee
03. Baltimore, Maryland
02. St. Louis, Missouri
01. Detroit, Michigan
Why you think Milwaukee? Lol
LOL. Definitely agree that these are sh*tholes (never been to Alaska so not sure about that one) but many of these don't qualify as big cities.
Can't argue with any of those haha
Louisville
From Here to There I had to include Jackson since Mississippi is the poorest state lol
To be fair, you can't call a city bad just because it is expensive. It is expensive for a reason.
Thats fair, but he mostly called it bad when the expenses were high and the average income was so low. Thats what leads to things like poverty, homelessness, and litter in the city
True
He not really calling it bad for that reason but more of you want to move here because rent is so high
This is a horrible list because many of these cities are beautiful, have a great arts, restaurants, sports and other nightlife.
A lot of these places used to be nice. The new reset governors are promoting crime and they're making it to where you can't even protect yourself they're literally legalizing crime and defunding the police these people have lost their minds just a matter of time things are going to get really bad sooner than people think
I agree with some of the stuff about San Francisco, but it is an amazing city. With great culture and energy, San Francisco is also close to many great beaches.
Yeah honestly one of my favorite places to always go back to. Such a beautiful city with so much to do, but the extreme cost of living and new wave of rich people entering has definitely changed the place
It’s beautiful but the human shit on sidewalks make it gross same with the whole city, smelling like shit just exploded all over the city
@@ilpats If you avoid the downtown you never run into that.
Kiwi Mapping Yeahh gotcha I went to Chinatown an I was walking an saw human shit on the sidewalk an when I had gotten to SF it just smelt so bad but yeah
@Brendan Sullivan If you go from June to September not normally. In August, I went to Pacifica beach (right outside of SF) and it felt like 100 degrees.
'Ah, Los Angeles; they city of angels, the city where dreams are made............ TO BE CRUSHED' LOLOLOLOl
I swear
Ikr?
I'm from Riverside California and I loved it there. Everything mentioned is true. I will always love the I.E (anyone who's from there does) but I had to move to Missouri...45 min east of Kansas City and I can't believe the difference. You can actually afford to live here and even though it's boring in comparison to the I.E it's nice to have more job opportunities and live without struggling to much
Let me ask you a question, what city do you live in Missouri? Cuz i'm intersted in job opportuniries
How could you not afford inland empire? Did you work at McDonald’s ?
@@funkyd989 Does it matter to you where she worked?
People seeing there city on this list
No it’s not!
People after seeing the explanation
Understandable have a nice day
I think Washington, DC has a lot of charm, once you get past the monuments. Walk around the Capitol Hill neighborhood, around the northwest section of the city, and Georgetown, and you'll see what I mean.
I actually like the Georgetown area a lot, but definitely seems to be a huge gap between the rich and poor there
@@FromHeretoThere I haven't been to DC in many years. I'm sure you're right.
Detroit city limits has problems but the metro Detroit area for the most part is a great place to live. Very safe, nice houses/ condos, tons of amenities, affordable. There's a reason over 100k millionaires live in Metro Detroit. Most people don't even think about the problems in the inner city.
I live just South of Atlanta and thus go there frequently, and I can say that it is not a bad city. There is so much to do. In just a few minutes you can drive from one of the most popular theatres nation wide (Fox Theatre) to the 20 time winner of the best steakhouse in the US (Bones), and from there to many other equally great buildings in the city. There is so much to do at Atlanta.
10. San Fransisco - too expensive - earthquakes
9. Chicago - too expensive - too cold - traffic
8. Philly - high unemployment - high crime
7. L.A. - too expensive - overrated
6. Atlanta - bad traffic - high unemployment
5. Miami - too expensive - hurricanes
4. DC - too expensive - high crime - dull
3. Baltimore - high crime - very dirty
2. Inland Empire - high crime -
1. Detroit - high unemployment - high crime
Just gonna ignore NYC I see...
nyc is the safest big city in the US, nyc has best transportation, best policing, good enough education and low crime rate, why would you put it on this list?
@@lonewanderer412 Which parts of NYC is considered safe? Surely don't Brownsville. And other reasons to be on the list would be too expensive, too cold and too many people.
Kev Electric Highway what do you mean which dude, google safest big cities in us and first city you will see is ny, considering it is the most populous city in the us as well, it is considered safe, weather is ok i guess, not too many hurricanes or floods there, as well as one of the highest 911 response rate in the nation, if you add charisma of the city, history and architecture as well, i don’t see why it is a bad city, the only problem i see is rats and litter, but thats a universal problem for every us city
@@lonewanderer412 I didn't see NYC number 1 anywhere. Then again I don't know how to compare NYC to any other big city since it's the biggest. In any case, being safe is only one attribute in this video. Nyc is still insanely expensive like other big cities on the list.
@@lonewanderer412 NYC has similar crime rates to LA and almost as expensive. The conurbation populations are also close with NYC at 21 million, LA at 19 million.
amazing video. Keep producing more because we are all waiting for your excellent videos
I feel bad for Detroit tbh
It WAS a great city known for automobiles😭
It was THE automobile city haha
Motor City
It was a great city full of trams until the automobile forcefully fucked it up, and then the automobile left. GM shit in its own nest and then flew away to build another nest to eventually shit in.
Why Tesla not move to Detroit? I bet it can save this city. Good infrastructure and cheaper labor. But I guess current employees don't want to move there. Sad
Grew Up in Detroit in the 50's Wonderful place to grow up In 1962 Detroiters had the highest per capita income in the USA
If you want my advice on living, go to Montclair nj, best suburb in the state and it's only a trian ride away from the amenities of nyc, with great public schools, it's the perfect place if you want access to a city without city problems.
Grew up there, solid city
Until it merges in East orange 😂
Until you go to the southern part like pine st orange rd and mission street 😂
DC Native and live in DC proper and even though I've been to a gazillion small towns and small cities and medium cities and other larger cities even there aren't too many places I would move to outside of Washington DC.
Why is there always an ad right before number 1? Is that just me?
Nope, same here hahaha
Andrew Stewart lol he probably does it so you watch the ad. 😂
Nope 😄
Strategic placement to build the suspense haha, hope you all enjoyed!
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing 😊😊👍
Thanks for taking it easy on my city, Atlanta 🙏
I’ve been living in Baltimore city for 6 years, college and I’m working living in here and it’s not bad as media show , wherever they say just don’t believe media ,Your have to experience it yourself.
i have lived in maryland, suburbs of dc, northern virginia for many many years. if you are a doctor, engineer, businessman, teacher, lawyer, then you will be fine.
very true
@@GAURAV25855ify The Wire was set in Baltimore because the show's creator and executive producer, David Simon, had been a reporter at the Baltimore Sun, which is the city's daily newspaper. So it was the city he knew best. Had he been a reporter at, say, the Chicago Tribune, you would be talking about Chicago right now. Baltimore has all of the major problems that most American cities have -- plus the bad PR that comes from over-exposure on TV crime shows.
@@johnalden5821 true very true
What part of Baltimore you live in? Because, over 350 murders says otherwise.
YES!!!! I knew my city (Chicago) would make this list!!!!! Traffic is pretty bad over here and the roads/public services are horrible. But on the flip side, there are lots of great neighborhoods and the lakefront is just beautiful.
Such an amazing city, truly not another place in this country quite like it
And the crime is high
@@emiliegee7669 not downtown
Amazing video! I absolutely love Chicago and not just because it’s home to me. Crime isn’t too bad if you stay away from the South. Philly is a hidden gem too.
Yes, you have to know where to go in these cities, I'd love to visit Chicago sometime. But some places in Philly are scary AF
Tennis Videos Agreed. Personally I think a major problem of Philly is actually the bordering Camden, NJ that brings a lot of crime into the city. Many beautiful rust belt cities are struggling unfortunately. Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland used to be beautiful cities. They still are!
Stop Misandry and Gynocentrism Wow really? I thought Texas is the place to be, I mean like everyone is moving to Texas. That’s interesting to know. I actually liked Texas when I was on vacation, it’s just way too hot and humid for me.
Shhhhh stop talking about Philly. People might hear you. It needs to stay hidden.
Club Astro Transcendental Motor ok ok, I’ll keep my mouth shut 🤐. Still love Philly.
Famous biotech bay near SSF is better than SF, excellent video, keep up the great work.
May you do a video comparing South Carolina and North Carolina?, also great video
7:31 only gta players know where this is
Bruh they copied gta
Rockford Hills
Yeah I love the gta version more they show less homeless and definitely less problems like traffic but the real life la in some areas that are less invaded with homeless actually looks good
yeah, the jewelry entrance, right?
You forget a thousand things everyday, pal. Make sure this is one of ‘em.
Honestly surprised San Fran wasn’t higher on the list
Yeah only bad things he says about Miami for example was weather, housing costs, and wage. Meanwhile sf housing prices were over 3x that, high unemployment, over 100 national average in crime, high taxes in ca, 10k homeless, and poop streets...but miami is somehow ranked worse.
@@jettanyx1 SF itself is a rather small but dense city, and the city itself is pretty bad. However, the region around the city is extremely beautiful and there are more to the Bay Area than just SF. All things considered, I think Bay Area generally has more diversity in terms of people and jobs, while Miami is fun for vacation, I wouldn't want to be surrounded by frat bros and retirees.
Tony Soviet lol preach. The rest of the Bay Area is beautiful, albeit expensive housing and prices in general. I live in the Bay Area, I can attest to this. I personally don’t like going to San Fran, there’s not much to do there except pier 39 or the mall on Bart :/
Tammy Jensen He says the metropolitan area, which in the case of San Francisco includes an area that stretches all the way down to Palo Alto. So a lot of the bad stuff is cancelled out by the fact that surrounding suburbs are some of the safest and best places to live in the US, despite the costs.
Tony Soviet I would rather be surrounded by tourists than addicts and homeless.
Do top 10 best college towns!
amazing video, more please
Really eye-opening video about the cities to avoid in 2020. Helpful and straightforward advice.
Very nicely done as usual. Appreciated what you said about Chicago since I grew up there (in a western suburb). I still and always will have a soft spot for Chicago but wouldn't move back there. It's startling to hear how much higher the violent crime rates are in Baltimore and Detroit - they really are much higher than the other big cities you mentioned. When you mention the subjective category of charm or interesting-ness, or lack thereof like Atlanta & San Bernardino/Riverside, I always agree with you so you should not shy away from giving your opinions. I just recommended this topic to Briggs but I doubt he saw it so the following is fair game: what California metro areas are increasing in population the most based on out-of-staters moving in? Much is made (by Briggs and Nick Johnson & others) of where Californians who are moving out of state are moving to. But California is still increasing in population so I'm wondering whether people from the rest of the country are still flocking there like they once were and to where specifically - LA, San Diego, San Francisco & San Jose per usual or is the immigration into the state more spread out now?
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the videos and hearing my opinions on a city's charm and character :)
And I'm not sure honestly, could be interesting to do a video on that, but I'd assume the big cities. Most of the people moving to Riverside/San Bernardino and Sacramento are from the bigger metros in state and just got priced out of their respective markets.
I've been living in Detroit for the last 3 years. This city still has a lot of struggles ahead of it but there's been a lot of effort getting put into economic revitalization lately and it feels like things are really starting to turn around and there's a lot of genuinely cool stuff to do around here. Above all else, it's nowhere near as dangerous as it's hyped up to be. There are so many neighborhoods here that do not look even close to what you showed lmao, maybe try actually coming to these cities rather than just shitting on them based on media depictions
Sometimes I feel the bad rumors about certain places in American are done on purpose. They’re just trying to scare people to not move to their city and raise the cost of living even more 😂 😂
Agreed. In reality the most dangerous city in America It wouldn't even be St Louis. It's Oakland. If you watch videos about Oakland you'll understand the definition of cursed cities.
I sure do miss Philly which will always be my hometown. Thinking about moving back after this pandemic is over 💯
I’m from Philly too, I love Philly, I’m always so happy to go back.
i want to go to philladelphia
Very good list! I have watched both your best and worst big cities and mostly agree.
Since there are only around 20 3 million+ MSAs, The 8-10 on both the best and worst lists are more like average cities. The top 5 of either list are the ones where the differences between positives and negatives are more apparent.
this awesome video inspires me to go to visit these big cities after COVID-19, thank you for educating me.

@@sneakerheadonlys Go to NYC, DC, Baltimore & St. Louis then get back to me 😂
Chicago is way too segregated...in New York you will find neighborhoods where all races live together in harmony
Some NY hoods are segregated too
There's no way Chicago deserves a worse ranking than SF.
I’ve lived in Chicago my whole life and my relatives live in San Fran so I’ve been out there plenty of times. Chicago is worse in terms of violence/murder as well as the potholes in every road mentioned in the video but in terms of overall dirtiness and poverty San Fran is significantly worse. There’s literal shit all over the streets and homelessness seemed to be more prevalent than in Chicago (where it’s still a problem). The people are a lot more rude and just somewhat weird in SF (might just be because it’s in California though). Both have awful politicians/policies but San Fran seemed like a much worse place to live in my opinion. SF does have more tourist attractions than Chicago though like Fisherman’s Wharf which is definitely worth checking out.
@@koshea44 SF is simply prettier. Much more beautiful nature , ocean , weather , wine country nearby. Chicago is very flat and doesn't have sites like Golden Bridge in SF. Politically both really suck.
SF itself is bad but the region is great. Lots of natural scenery, Napa Valley is just 30 mins away and it is a gorgeous wine town. Chicago is just plain drape and boring all around. In addition, I rather cope with stepping on shit than being shot dead walking around.
Adrian G. I would agree in terms of natural scenery and the landscape itself SF is definitely better than Chicago. But I’d still much rather live in Chicago because of the people and the other reasons I talked about.
The Lake + the Chicago skyline is all the scenery I need to be happy. But I'm a Chicago native, so it probably helps my contentment that IMO "flat" = "the default state that land should be" 😆.
If you thought LA has sprawl Atlanta would say, "Hold my beer." That's what I call geographical comedy.
@Chooey Sooares 8,000 square miles is not tiny. 6.5 million in the ATL is smaller than 18 million people in LA for sure. Atlanta is spread over 29 counties a size greater than Massachusetts. Of course eastern counties are much smaller than western counties.
Atlanta sprawl is smaller than LA. People don’t get this 🤦🏻♂️ the sq miles of Atlanta is 136 sq miles while LA is 503 sq miles. City limits only.
@@pittsburghpirate58 idk what you’re talking about Atlanta is not spread across 29 counties. Most of it is in Fulton and Dekalb. Cobb Gwinnett and Clayton are metro Atl.
@@edwardblaha1744 Rockdale County, Henry County, Douglas County, Fayette County are also part of the metro Atlanta area. Cherokee, Forsyth, and Newton counties are in there as well. Atlanta ain't big like L.A. but it has grown a lot. I grew up in Decatur, Georgia in DeKalb County.

Lived in Atlanta after I moved from Honolulu. From 2009 till 2019 the ATL was my home. But Atlanta only has one downtown and 2 sperate other business districts. One being Buckhead and the other Midtown. The other two high raise business districts of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody are in Metro Atl but not in the city of Atlanta. They are their own independent cities. And have been since 2005 and 2006 respectively. Honolulu has bad traffic but Atlanta is 100 times worse. But I enjoyed my 10 years living there. There was always something fun to do. Mind you I'm from NYC so I have literally lived in some fun places. And, ATL wasn't that bad. But yes it's crime is kinda high compared to other cities. Shit I lived in NYC and Boston most of my young life and was never robbed. In Atlanta my home was robbed 2 times. Once when I was in Honduras on a training mission as a reservist. Good times Atlanta good times...
I have been waiting! And it's finally here!! 🤩

Edit: I am so satisfied haha. I’m heading into college and I live in PA. I take frequent trips to NYC (not as much during the pandemic) but it is my favorite place to go. So much culture, talent, history, and food. There is an endless amount of things to explore and I find that many people there are very open minded and knowledgeable. The “New Yorker attitude” in my opinion is simply a no tolerance for disrespect! I look forward to calling Queens my new home in the next 5 years, so I’m glad NYC a wasn’t on this list!!!
Yeah Philly isn't the place to be right now, but it is home for me. Alot of friends have moved out of the city because of the high rent/housing prices, crime, and being offered better employment elsewhere. The spotted lantern fly invasion hasn't done the city any favors either (at this point I'm praying for cold weather)
So surprised that NYC didn’t make it, i live in queens and love the apple but there’s some things that could get better and worse with time....
It made the "Best big cities to live in" video 😂. And if deserves it, I mean the crime is lower than the national average and it has su much to do, but ofc it isn't for everyone; as it is overcrowded and extremely expensive
@Aringinator Tbh NY people are way kinder than people from my country, I know they say they are the rudest people in the US. But I was just amazed when by the kindness that people showed to me. I stayed at an Airbnb in Queens, actually in Jamaica, I never felt insecure tho.
Me too. Lived in Queens for 3 years. NYC sucks.
Tennis Videos u r totally right, it’s a city for the brave ones you don’t know what can you face
rick hall actually NYC is amazing but like life it has their fare amount of pros and cons
At least all of these cities have some good suburbs (Chicago has Naperville, Detroit has Troy, etc.)
I'm from Philadelphia and you are correct on alot of your statements, but hopefully it gets better.
Very happy to see that a Texas city wasn't on this list.
I was expecting Houston to be in here. But good thing it wasnt. H-Town for Life. ❤
@@Johnn_Vasquez houston was in the best cities to live in lmao dallas as well
@@Johnn_Vasquez I was expecting to see Houston also, I mean with it's very high crime rate, poor air quality, and poor infrastructure.
@@Boxhead42 Like the majority of big cities.
@@Johnn_Vasquez Yea, but he put Houston on the best top ten. I'm sorry but I just don't see it.
I live near Washington DC and when you said that it's super expensive, has horrible schools, and that people base their personality on their jobs, you weren't lying! It's still a cool and chic city though...
Definitely a fun place to visit for a weekend, sounds horrible living there and never really being able to make real friends though haha
I think it should be illegal for cities to be SO ASTRONOMICALLY expensive when the quality of life isn't really matching for most of the residents..... Watching videos like this, it's like why tf do we let this happen? Why does it have to be in some cities where there's really no middle class and people can't live comfortably ..... are we just going to let that pattern consume the country since people are pushing out of these metros and to other nice places ?
DC is ok but I prefer to live in Montgomery County Maryland. I live in Silver Spring its much cheaper here than in DC but I want to move to Bethesda next.
I live in Rockville, MoCo is one of the best counties to live in the US. Only thing I don’t like is the CoL, which is pretty high
The DC you described is the one from the 90's, there are so many awesome things to do here now.
Higher Taxes Though !
@@kgb7846 what does that mean? Is that a bad thing
@@YourMom-tu8ks absolutely it is
Geez, I live for these videos! More please! I’m hooked!
The IE is expansive, but that’s because it’s in such a prime location like no other. We’re 1 hour away from LA, 1 hour from the mountains, 1 hour away from beaches, 2 hours away from San Diego, 3 hours away from Las Vegas, 3 hours away from the border of Mexico right near San Diego, 4 hours away from Phoenix AZ and there’s just so much to do with endless career opportunities. You can go snowboarding, surfing, and hiking all within 3-4 hours of driving in the same day.
Nobody: Me waits for top 10 worst small cities to live in so I can see if Bridgeport or Hartford made it
LOL
More like Hartford or New Haven. Bridgeport isn't bad as the other two these days.
@@jai_masss9233 Ehh. But Bridgeport is really really expensive for what you get.
bridgeport is so shit😭
@Usa mabaho Fairfield County (Greenwich, Darien, Westport, etc) along with the western suburbs of Hartford are beautiful. The Fairfield County NYC suburbs are Beverly Hills North.
15:34 "Phoenix, Arizona" * proceeds to put a picture of Tucson, Arizona*
I get it. in 2018 I left Vancouver Canada, constantly considered one of the cites with best life quality in the world ( although it is considered expensive for Canadian Standards). Then, I decided to move to London, which I have always loved. I had been to London as a tourist but once I started living there you realize how expensive it is and you start getting critical when it comes to traffic, security ,accessibility, rent, etc.. YES, you have easy access to culture, cuisine, etc, etc... but u pay a high price considering how much you get back from your taxes , especially when you know there are places in the world like Vancouver where you can have better quality of life for a more affordable life style. But at the and of the day, it is your choice.
Maybe you should just stay in Vancouver, BC. London is wild.
Ontario or Uk
@@Spacebuddy-dm6psVancouver is wild too, especially after the drug unban
Really@@5k3m.
