OMG, I would have said Scranton, PA. Talk about miserable.

Baghdad, Iraq

The incidences of violence probably top the list of any major city in the world.

.....

My vote goes to Mestre, IT. Smelly, humid, boiling summers, freezing winters, plenty of traffic, not much to do... :td:

Asmara, Eritrea.

I've also been to Hell, Grand Cayman. It was quite nice :) .

I was going to mention Chuquicamata..aside from the fact that its not going to exist in a few months...and last time I checked...hell is eternal.

lagos, nigeria - scary scary town, hot, humid, difficult to get a good meal, violent robbers and prostitutes all over

dhaka, bangladesh - much poorer than any big city in india, on aflood plane so much of the year the roads are all under water, very humid and hot, strong mildew destroys the colar from buildings, so everything is gray/green, the surface water is deseased, the well water has high natural arsinic content, sewage flows everywhere.

podgoriza, montenigro - small city in the ex-yugoslavia, capital of one of the smaller new republics. all the taxi drivers in town drive old communist left over cars and are drunk, the only hotel in town is also a brothel, all the food is heavy and flavorless, one flight in and out a day, rotating from different cities in europe

washington, dc

as a student there it's great to have headlines in the local paper that "three people stabbed three blocks from the white house" or "transient caught defecating in shrubbery by the world bank"

a few other us cities come to mind as well...

Yeah, but there's a guy there that is going to pay me $15 million to help him launder some money... ;)

I got the same thing, still waiting for my money.. wonder where is it?

Both Erie and Scranton are miserable. My vote goes to BOTH, with my hometown of Pgh close behind.

Any suburb of mumbai...
 

..god that taxi ride in from the airport is horrendous.

My vote goes to Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. Lovely place......

Um, yeah... I suffer greatly with the hellish conditions here in Laguna Niguel :rolleyes: I don't know how my neighbors in Dana Point survive either...
