Doesn’t have to be a city, although that would be the natural answer.

    I’ve only been to the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Singapore. From my personal experience nothing came close to parts of San Francisco and encampments in the rest of the Bay Area.

    FWIW, this is from a few years ago. Tenderloin, Mission, and SOMA are worse now.

    “The contamination is … much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India … I would hope that this is just a short-term type of concern and that we can really get our city to where it should be: a nice clean destination for people who want to come out to the West Coast.”

    “The last time I saw cooking on a sidewalk, Farha said, was in Mumbai … There’s a cruelty [in SF] that I don’t think I’ve seen, she said.”

    Sicily (Catania) was shocking to me. So much beautiful old architecture in disrepair, plastered with graffiti, trash and the smell of piss and cigarettes. In contrast southern Spain which is also one of the EU’s economically weakest areas feels spotlessly clean a lot of the time and so much better taken care of.

    Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai. India in general is fairly dirty. Also San Francisco, CA is a refuge for human scum.

    Cairo, Egypt. I literally saw a guy pooping on the street and some parts of the city were super dirty and unkempt.

      Agree. Egypt was filthy. Saw numerous dead animals. At the end of the day when you shower (if water is running) the water is black as it goes down the drain.

    Los Angeles. This is where I learned to differentiate human and dog feces.

    And as others said: India anywhere.

    In Europe: Skopje.

    Russia. Especially North-Western parts. Towns look like a nuclear disaster happened there. It is not just dirty but everything is literally ruined. But the nature around is amazing.
