Most Overrated City? 2015-04-13 01:26:47


What do you personally think is the most overrated city in the world? According to this list it's Las Vegas, but in my opinion the most overrated city is Rome. Oh sure, Rome was a superpower back in the days of the Roman Empire, but nowadays time has taken its toll on the city and it can no longer live up to those expectations of a great and powerful city.

So I'll say it again, what do you think is the most overrated city in the world?

Toronto, I went there and wasn't impressed to much. Kinda ugly and depressing to see a city like Toronto.

Los Angeles, California
God I hate that place, I'd love to live in SF, though.

Las Vegas is pretty shitty too, it's fun for about 2-3 days but I'd fucking hate to live there.

Also, anywhere in Arizona. Too fucking hot.

Vatican City. I mean you have some dude in a Pope hat who thinks he runs the place. What is up with that? And for some reason people visit there. It's also literally a theocracy.

Somehow it's so overrated it's seen as its own country, so it doubles as both most overrated city and most overrated country.

A city's greatness is determined by how efficiently its government is run, how well it takes care of its own people, and how well it scares away new arrivals.

The increasingly aggressive commercialization of NYC is annoying. It's far-reaching, and even worse, Taylor Swift was appointed the official tourism ambassador here with welcome posters featuring herself. She's no New Yorker and is trying to use her fame to draw people of her ilk in here when they should be somewhere else.

I'm a little disappointed LA wasn't added to the list sooner. What a dump.

I was hoping no one would say LA.

Go away, and never come back.

Firstly, the 405 to get there can absolutely fuck itself as it's essentially a parking lot .
Secondly, LA is filthy
Thirdly, Compton/Inglewood
Fourthly, There's nothing to fucking do. I go up there occasionally and visit Amoeba, and I frequently go to concerts; but aside from that, I do not understand the appeal. Maybe it's nice for people who live and breathe the TV/Movie production industries; but that is not what I am.
Oh and fifth and final: Hollywood fucking blows.

But, Disneyland isn't in LA. Disneyland is in Anaheim. I'll give you Six Flags, albeit it's a novelty. Large parks are pretty common, a shitty zoo... well, you said it yourself there. Museums are also one-visit type places.

At the end of the day, would you prefer to live there rather than where you are now?

no judging if you would, but personally I disagree

No one has mentioned Cleveland yet? If it weren't for Lebron James (enjoy him until the Cavs lose in the 2nd round... again) and the Rock and Roll HOF (where it would be better fit in Memphis), no sane person would consider going to Cleveland as a ideal vacation.

It's like Detroit, with none of the history or charm and most of the bad stuff.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.
