Never having actually been there, and therefore just going off vibes I get from portrayals on the internet: that city in Florida where they designed it around every property having boat access (I forget the name, looking up "Florida canal city" gives me one called "Cape Coral" so it may be that one, or there might be some other similar place ive seen pictures of before out there that im mistaking for it). Cool concept in theory but every picture Ive seen of the place it looks like someone took generic slightly rich car-filled suburbia and made it even more overpriced and dysfunctional

Joetsu, Niigata, Japan. I can't put my finger on it and was only there for a day, but I don't feel any need to go back. Weird layout, bad roads, rusting (not that that's rare for Japan outside of the metropolis areas), etc. People were a mixed bag as well, though no one was overtly unfriendly.

Dallas Fort Worth and Houston both felt like a place God forgot. Didn't visit the rest of Texas, I could have been picking up on the state's overall vibe.

Vegas, no doubt! And I don't really remember the name of the country all that much, it was somewhere in the Pacific Islands. I was really young, but I remember not ever feeling comfortable.

• Newport, Wales.
• Wisbech, England.

Clarksville, TN, USA radiates bad vibes.

Spokane, Washington is one giant liminal space.

Mannheim

I like Las Vegas but I was a child so my memories are visiting my grandmother's trailer home, going to the YMCA, seeing kids that had year round school, going to a single show on the strip where I got heat exhaustion and threw up, and great grandmother and her cutting out paper dollies.

Naples in Italy

Luton

Buffalo

Oh, I've been through a few. Most places in Ohio, but particularly Toledo and Cleveland. Sandusky, OH is also pretty off. Oh, and Cincinnati for hiring demons for its urban planning. I visited once and felt queasy the whole time. I mean, I don't have a problem with hills but Cinci is an M C Escher print mixed with a Sonic the Hedgehog stage. Helen, Georgia has a pretty rotten energy. Atlanta, GA isn't much better around Easter. Now, Atlanta was better when I lived there some years ago, but it seems to have dropped off sharply around the time I left. I'd say before that specifically Five Points and Buckhead, sometimes Inman Park, felt not good, but now a days it's probably the whole city. I definitely felt a shift which prompted me to get out when I did. Dallas, Texas. What cold, miserable people. And I can't really pick a place in Florida. I've been to a few, they all suck.

Charlotte, NC. That place is still segregated

I don't know there names but north east US have these suburbs that just feel like I wouldnt have been allowed to hang out in as a kid

Centralia, PA.

I could name a lot but Jesus does Gary, IN eminate bad vibes at its own special frequency

If you've seen Barbarian, the bits set in Detroit capture the vibe pretty well (which tbf is relatively close to Gary)

Wheeling, West Virginia is definitely a city which has seen better days. It feels like the apocalypse got started there before venturing out to the neighboring areas.

Bloemfontein

Ipswich.
