Detroits economy collapsed and everyone moved after the 70's. Baltimore was poorly designed and never recovered from the 80's crack epidemic that raged through there.

Chicago is shit because it's full of shitty people. It has the potential to be a great city but everyone segregates themselves over miles and miles of suburbs

West Coast is best coast.

I'd say San Diego, Portland, SLC (if you can handle mormons), maybe Seattle or San Fransisco. Not a lot of crime, people are generally chill, and you have a much less ghetto aspect to most of these cities (mexicans are far less dangerous than blacks).

A much larger portion of the population dwells in suburbs, large housing projects usually build outside of downtown in each major city. This, combined with the size of the US is why we all have to own cars or severely cut our job opportunities.
>>
>>57452651
Its called having a job in Manhattan and the cost of commuting from outside of the city is actually the same as living in Brooklyn and the commute is shorter. Plus there is no rushing for trains or Buses because the major subways run about every 6 minutes all day and most of the night.

Most of the poor people stay in the cities. The people with money move to the suburbs and commute to the cities for work.

Not all cities are like this, but there are a lot that are. Some cities have areas that are starting to be revitalized, but only small sections.

Property taxes fund most towns and cities in the US. Rich people don't like being taxed to death to support crack heads and welfare moms, so they move out. When this happens enough the city goes into a death spiral, where they have to keep raising taxes to replace the revenue lost by the people who move out, chasing more people and businesses away. This happened to almost every major city in the Midwest.

NYC and San Francisco
I've been to both. I've also lived in Anaheim, seen the canyon, been to Chicago (in winter so not much was going on) the Capitol, Waikiki, etc. and so far NYC was the best. I used to work in Hollywood too, it's kind of a bland place.
>>
>>57452710
Oh yeah, and San Diego, but it's a little spaced out and kind of for children. I used to live there and visited Legoland every weekend. Now they're having financial issues and the water works were broken when I visited.

The coolest city is probably some Cali or Florida meme shit, alternatively NYC

Baltimore is cool if you like getting shot
>>
>all these people who've never been to Baltimore

Yes, I'll admit Baltimore has some bad sides, but overall, Baltimore is pretty safe. The riots you saw on TV last year were in the ghetto, and if you saw the rest of Baltimore, it was perfectly normal. Baltimore is also not poor, we have one of the largest East coast port, and another port is being built in the city, Baltimore is permanent headquarters of Under armour. Baltimore has money, it's just that Baltimore has to spend it on so many things because of the Bullshit liberal policies.

It's the flat roofs. They're reminiscent of commieblocks, which are depressing. It actually looks a lot nicer from ground level.
>>
>>57455189
Been to Baltimore a few times. The inner harbor is OK, but nothing special. The rest of the city reminds me of the poorer parts of Philadelphia. Also, Baltimore doesn't have much of a food scene, unlike Philadelphia and NYC.
>>
What's the east coast city with the most hipsters, alternative movements, active nightlife (besides clubbing), and coolest vibe overall?
I'm planning to visit US for a whole month, rent a flat and visit all the east coast from there.
I'm used to be surrounded by hipsters because of the neighborhood I live, and I got to unironically like them.
>>
>>57455610
>hipsters

Color me surprised. What city do you live in?
>>
>>57455610
NYC, However you might want to live in Hoboken NJ, which seems to have more bars and eateries per block than just about anywhere else.
>>
>>57452994
Depends in the section. The little neighborhood's can vary a lot based on older population and hipsters/professional ratios. There are all kinds of ethnic enclaves of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Russians, Poles, etc. The areas where they listen to the most hip-hop are the few places where you have the highest chance to get robbed or shot, not even memeing.

Once I had actually taken the ferry to Bainbridge, I realized how tiny, apart, and insignificant the Space Needle is compared to the rest of the skyline.
