Where is the worst place to live in the world?
studied for an MSc in Urban Regeneration, as part of the course we visited Grimethorpe, Barnsley of 'Brassed Off' fame. One of the estates just contained shells of houses. On one house there was a sign written by the previous occupant, that read, "Don't bother breaking in, the central heating pipes have already be taken". Apparently this was common on the estate. I have visited several 'third world' countries and I am still yet to witness such overt deprivation
and a entry from the USA (several USA contributions)..
The worst place to live in the world is Lowell, Massachusetts! Low standard of living, high taxes, unpredictable freezing cold weather, over population, obnoxious unfriendly people (typical of Boston) and impossible traffic!
and don't forget France..
Having travelled fairly widely, I think the worst place has to be Paris. I thought about Bucharest because it's a dump, but at least the people are friendly there! Paris is one of the beautiful cities of the world, but it's a city that's lost its soul, and its inhabitants must be amongst the unfriendliest people in Europe. I hasten to add that I've travelled all round France, and everywhere else seems friendly, it's just Paris - hell on earth! |
