Worst under 100k population city to live in?Just go to e-bay real estate

[BrentCrude]

If you ever want to find the worst towns in the USA to live in where they have high crime rates,lots of illegals,65% of the populatin male,awful weather,multiple prisons located there,nuc waste dumps,just look for very cheap land on the e-bay real estate section.They have been almost giving away what looks like nice lots in Big Spring,Texas lately and no one wants to give more than pocket change for them.Big Spring sounds like a real sh%t hole prison colony town.I can picture tough cookie Leather and Pinkie Tuscaderro biker babes coming to town in droves on greyhound buses with cakes with files in them to spring their boyfriends from prison.

I picture the whole town being full of houses and neighborhoods like the movie Mask with Cher and her deformed kid living there.

When he finally moved 5 years ago he could sell his house at all

Youngstown is pretty shitty, but not even close to some places near Detroit. Wouldnt want to live in either of them though

I remember it was on a street called ravenwood
it could of even been in youngstown or just outside
I was only there once and he told me stories
about pimps chasing their ho's down the street half naked
about someone stealing his neighbor's front door off the hinges
nothing inside just the front door
about if he locked his car door they would break the window thinking there
was something inside but leave in unlocked they wouldn't bother it
all kinds of stuff

haha yeah willimantic defiantly blows, do you got to ECSU?

[unusialsusp5]

no, but my sympathies if you were misled by someone to attend that college located in that decrepid town/city in the middle of nowhere with virtually no amenities. only 20 miles from mohegan sun casino however.

Paterson, NJ

What's wrong with Paterson? Beautiful old churches, nice waterfall, great location (minutes away from NYC)
Camden is the worst town in America

[crustyme]

homes in detroit are like $5000 & less.

but it's been like that even before the crash.

[bb_skoots]

OP asked about cities 100k or less population. otherwise Detroit is probably the worst big city.

[chemicalbrother]

I remember it was on a street called ravenwood

yeah, south side. basically worst neighborhood in one of the worst crime cities in the country.

[757sFinest]

Sad, these towns used to be a happening place.

Lmao right on the money.

Compton

Compton is not as bad as you would think. Rap music it made it a lot worse than it really is. There are parts of Compton that are great... There are tons of places in LA that are much worse and a hell of a lot more dangerous than Compton.

Wow!
I can get behind $5000 for a house. Just as an investment, it's most likely Detroit will never turn around, the weather is terrible, the main industry is dead, but who knows, $5000 is nothing and an investment that could maybe return a profit, if not you always have a house that is paid off.

There are numerous fukin homes in detroit they will PAY YOU to live in, that's right they have negative market value, giving them away is not attractive enough to get potential "buyers" (are you still a buyer if the cost is 0?) to fix them up and live in them, unfukinreal

You aint seen the environment that 5000 house is in, "technically" you have a home paid off but unless you like shooting at robbers and hitting the floor for drive bys on a daily basis you would not enjoy you're new home, living in Detroit is like buying a home in Mexico, yes you could live there for nothing but who the **** would want to

You would be much better off buyin a nice manufactured home foreclosure in a nice town somewhere for 30k and paying a 200 a month for mortgage/taxes/insurance than you would be moving into the giant ghetto detroit has become

Watch an episode of Hardcore Pawn and realize that those crazy fuks pawnin their gold teeth for 10 bucks would be your new neighbors
