Damn I always wonder what life must be like for people growing up in a town like that.

If you don't feel like watching the video (don't waste your time), all it consists of is the videographer looking at an abandoned building and an abandoned store in the downtown area and then going to an abandoned/closed down hospital and walking around, showing you every single area of the hospital

Belle Glade in Florida has been historically bad. Sometimes known as Muck City.

“For a time during the early to mid 1980s, the city had the highest rate of AIDS infection per capita in the United States. According to the FBI, in 2003, the city had the second highest violent crime rate in the country at 298 per 10,000 residents. In 2010, the Palm Beach County sheriff's office estimated that half of the young men in Belle Glade between the ages of 18 and 25 had felony convictions.“

Re: Op's video

Yes, the producers spent to much time filming the interior of a dilapidated hospital but the video shots of the depressed and miserable town were disturbing in their run down hopelessness.

When you see that kind of abject poverty and inhumane neglect of basic services, whether in Florida, Texas, Mississippi, or Appalachia in general, you can be sure it's in a trump loving Republican red state where the GOP uses racism to get poor whites on their side to oppress poor black and brown people. It's vulgar and dangerous and has brought us to where we are. DJT didn't start the fire but he threw gasoline on it with his dog whistling and it's gonna blow up.

But anyway, I have no idea what the worst city or town to live in is. I live in Massachusetts where we have pockets of poverty but absolutely nothing like that. I've never, ever seen such neglect of a city. Florida is a shithole.
