Baltimore. Cleveland.
So, recently visited and therefore benefits from recency bias, but good GAWD, Baltimore is a giant pile of infected asshole. Port city, balmy climate, proximity to the Captal, has a lot of theoretical potential. Besides what I physically witnessed (the poster child for urban decay and an apparently absentee municipal government), I have heard it is a human trafficking capital as well.

Cosby, TN if you need gas drive to the next town.
Bellevue, WA. Very eerie and felt like a simulation.
New Orleans felt just sketchy throughout.
And then there are fun ones (mostly in Ohio)
- Random suburban road through the mixed woods / fields that suddenly slows down to 25MPH, with very neat lawns, clean buildings, but barely any people (usually there is a cop waiting for speeders).
- Some side road between an interstate and suburban development goes down into a valley to some creepy Lovecraftian old town
- In a middle of farm fields, a network of roads, clearly prepared for a residential development, but never finished, but they lead to a large patch of woods (yes, in middle of a farm field), and inside of it is a branch of a local university.
lol I live right outside of Bellevue and it gets a lot of flack for “having no soul” because it’s a bigish city built from new money but it’s a perfectly nice place otherwise, I think it’s “too nice” for some people because it’s mostly still very new. I like Bellevue personally
Stuart , Florida. Dark vibes everywhere. Even though it looks clean , and nice. It has a very seedy underbelly.
