The ‘dirtiest’ US city revealed — and you’ll never guess where NYC lands in the ranking

If cleanliness is next to godliness, then NYC’s basically heaven on Earth (kinda).

Despite its vermin, trash-lined streets and only-in-New York smells, the Big Apple did not rank as one of the top 10 “Dirtiest Cities in America.”

It’s a miracle on 34th Street — and it’s not even Christmas.

“From clean drinking water to sewage disposal, littered streets to missed garbage pick-ups, we analyzed 12.3 million sanitation-related 311 complaints in a series of U.S. cities to reveal which metropolises need to clean up their act,” wrote study authors from HouseFresh, an indoor air quality imprint.

5 California on the list of the top 23.

That's what you get when you have a Dem/Commie supermajority running the beautiful State into the ground. When you elect Godless commies, you destroy your land and you can never get rid of them (peaceably) because once they take over, they rig the election system to insure their re-elections - even if the population regains their sanity.

I’m a native New Yorker, still enjoy visiting.

The Big Town is not particularly dirty, anyone who would “never guess” that NYC wasn’t in the top ten a) has never been there, and b) has no idea what they are talking about.

This survey is based on complaints, not actual state of filth.

If they went by actual filth, I bet SF would have ranked higher. If most of the complainers have fled the city, only the filth producers are left and they’re less likely to complain.

The majority are Blue Skies locations run by the Molotov Cocktail Bolshies. I’m surprised LA is still on there are they burned most of it down. Let see. Sacramento...Sacramento. Oh yeah, Gruesome Newsom’s stomping grounds. Yeah. It’s probably number two.

They crap on the streeets of san fran yet it ranks way low.

Its because lots of San Franners like it that they crap on the streets. Less complaints.

Except for some of those train station bathrooms. Stunk like a sewer the last time I was in one about ten years ago. There was no safe place to step. The floor was wet with urine and overflowing toilets. Never again.

Fewer complaints, but I digress.

My son used to live in SF, in a nice part of town, for a while, anyway. He was fined by the city if a homeless person s#!* on his doorstep. He complained for a while, then realized he wasn’t getting anywhere with that. Moved away.

On another forum (gun forum) a member was asking for advice re a trip to san fran. I was amazed at the amount of hoops they put themselves through just to visit that dump.

"Charm City"

Once a great manufacturing center, now mainly a cesspool of feral negroes: Detroit on the Chesapeake.

“I’m much more accustomed to the Mayberry way of life.”

Works until they bus in a bunch of illegal immigrants.

I can’t imagine actuality having to walk through Baltimore.
Last year my niece was caught in the middle of a shooting while in her car, at a stop light after leaving UMBC. Two teen gangsters starting shooting at each other in the street, one in front of the car and one behind it. They wound up attempting to shoot through the car rear window/windshield to hit each other.
She only survived by the grace of God as the car was totalled due to bullets in the engine block and one that was embedded in the headrest bc it was stopped by the metal bar that adjusted the headrest. Neither shooter was hit or ever found according to the Baltimore PD.

Yeah, most of the illegals are in the neighboring towns that have more commerce. It’s heading my way though. Progress, they call it.

When the farmer across the creek sells his property to the county, that’ll be when we’ll head out. Hopefully that doesn’t happen before I die. I’d like to not have to move again in my lifetime. We’ll see. I could be talked into it if the move seems right. Still young enough, but moving just isn’t fun.

I can’t picture it either. I think the reason there’s so much crime in cities is because the people are one on top of each other all the time. No personal space.

If you put that many rats in one place without a way to escape, they’ll kill each other, too.

I have never understood why people like living in or near big cities.

The older we get, the further away from other people we move. We raised our kids in a neighborhood because my husband was raised that way, and he thought it was important for them. Now he understands why I like living away from the hustle and bustle.
