Detroit, USA – Crime, pollution and crumbling infrastructure don¡¯t appeal to you.2. Accra, Ghana – Ugly, chaotic, sprawling and completely indifferent to its waterfront location.3. Seoul, South Korea – According to one comment, ¡®It¡¯s an appallingly repetitive sprawl of freeways and Soviet-style concrete apartment buildings, horribly polluted, with no heart or spirit to it. So oppressively bland that the populace is driven to alcoholism.¡¯4. Los Angeles, USA – A highly contentious pick, placed here because of its ¡®uncontrolled sprawl, pollution, appalling traffic and ugly freeways.¡¯5. Wolverhampton, England – So bad that we don¡¯t even have it on this site! Check out post 35 on this thread.6. San Salvador, El Salvador – Widely acknowledged as the grubbiest of the Central American capitals.7. Chennai, India – We describe it as lacking Mumbai¡¯s prosperity, Delhi¡¯s history or Bengaluru¡¯s buzz. Even the movie stars are ¡®not that hot.¡¯ You think we¡¯re being generous.8.

Chetumal, Mexico – Combining the worst of mass tourism and outlying decay, Chetumal just doesn¡¯t charm you. ![]() "Constructions" Underway in Seoul "Paraguay Wants Better Ties with S.
