Nashville is neat with lots to do, but its way more seedy than most people realize. And the tourists can be really annoying.

You can find crack in your city. Don't need to travel to Baton Rouge for it.

I literally fly into SA once every couple of months, grab lunch and hit the toll road around the city of Austin. I have customers in the surrounding area all the way from Killeen down to Corpus. I will stay in Round Rock once in awhile, but you cannot pay me enough to visit the downtown area, or even worse drive through it. Traffic is utterly insane, and the area honestly reeks from all the homeless.

Austin is a hole. But SA is pretty nice.

I love Texas as a state; however, when it comes to Austin, Dallas and Houston, Texas knows how to do UGLY.


Austin used to be really nice. The parks and water there made it so, along with a population that really cared about their town. As with everywhere Progressives take over, it has run into the ground lately. They aren't as far gone as SF, but most due to the state government there keeping control of a few things. The homeless in the greenbelts and stuff is depressing. (That has started happening here lately, fyi. But the city has taken steps to remove people who try to camp on public property recently)

Dallas was really nice in areas when I lived there. Now it mostly seems tired and grimy to me. Uptown and near East Dallas had some really nice stuff going on in the mid 2000s. Now the DART and everything around Mockingbird Station feels unsafe to me. Maybe I am just getting old..

It is Tuscaloosa easily. Not sure why this has not been brought up on page one.

Is this where all the trailer park troglodytes that have never been to BR all shout “BR!” in unison?

Little Rock is surprisingly horrible. Any White person pretty much knows to avoid 90% of Memphis at this point. Atlanta isn’t too nice either

If it’s the guy I’m thinking of, it was an OD and of his own doing apparently. Dude went into a very sketchy situation looking for blow and/or hookers I believe. Dealer or pimp just dumped the body.

The areas of North Baton Rouge that have problems don't have anything to do with the 'college town' areas of Baton Rouge.

Yeah LSU students in dorms on Alaska St getting texts warning of armed robberies and shootings 2 blocks up the road has absolutely nothing to do with the “college town” areas of BR. I was getting these texts on campus 12 years ago and it’s worse today. If you walk 1 block the wrong way off LSU’s campus it can be a fatal mistake. This is just a foolish statement coming from behind purple and gold colored glasses. As long as people continue to make these bullshite excuses it’ll never get better

I've never seen an area in Baton Rouge that was pleasant. The city is a shite hole and there's no denying it. It even stinks

This is just as foolish as ignoring all the violent crime 1-2 blocks north of the LSU campus. There are many nice areas in BR

Austin is no longer even a place. Its just a moment in time that no longer has any kind of enduring identity. As quick as you try to define it, its changed into something else. The problem is, each new iteration is worse than the previous one. Its an amorphous tragedy. An increasingly infected cultural pustule on the very sick body of a once great nation.

I have lived in suburban Dallas and suburban ATL, and I prefer living in Baton Rouge. I have chosen to retire in BR and have had zero problems since moving here in 2014.

Austin is the unbelievably hot chick that got so much plastic surgery and got banged so many times shes just a disease addled shell of her former self who is only ramping up the behaviors that ruined her beauty in the first place.

Dallas is mostly still good. East Dallas is always a little up and down. Anything City of Dallas East of 75/45 good years and bad years. The good years are fun, but East Dallas is right there and always rears it's head eventually and sends the "good safe" areas back downhill until the next push to clean them up and make them safe again.

Deep Ellum is most famous for this cycle, but areas like Mockingbird Station fall into it too to a lesser degree.
