This is heartbreaking. I remember how 25 years ago San Francisco was a jewel.

It still is a shockingly beautiful place, almost surreally so. But I've traveled many places and there's only two cities in the world where someone has crapped on the sidewalk right in front of me: NYC and SF.

Yea right. I live in the Bay Area and go into SF at least twice a month and have never seen anyone crapping on the sidewalk, SF is very clean and surprisingly safe for a large city.

India is a country. You need to go back to school.

We understand that. The reason so many respondents are saying "India" - when they are aware India isn't a city - is because India is that unclean.

As an Indian I take offense to that. All these posters mentioning India don't even know which city they visited? The title says "most unclean city" not country.

I also wonder why no one mentions Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka - the neighboring countries.

Some of these posters identified themselves as Indian. There are lots of presumably filthy cities that people have not mentioned, because they have not been there in person. A modicum of logic would have told you that, PP. No one is saying that Indian cities are the dirtiest in the entire world. Very few people on DCUM have been to Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. My European Godmother has traveled extensively in the Indian subcontinent, but she's not the kind to participate in a "where was it most dirty" sort of thread. She's the type to find good in everything. Despite the fact she was carjacked at gunpoint in Pakistan!

People who say they haven't been to China, it is actually ridiculously clean. And those who say Southeast Asia, have you been to Singapore? You get whipped for spitting out gum on the street.

I posted earlier in this thread and I mentioned Karachi, which is just as filthy as the Indian cities I mentioned. I didn't add Lahore, but I've also spent time there, and it is equally bad. Pakistani cities are just as bad as Indian cities: happy?

I spent several years in South Asia for work. This wasn't just one tourism trip where I had a bad day. I don't care if you "take offense" to this: the filth and despair and stink of all of the Indian--and, to make you happy, Pakistani--cities I spent time in was revolting. The levels of corruption and scamming and endemic lying and dishonesty at all levels, and just willingness to ignore or contribute to the suffering of others (see caste system, the house "servants" whose lives are hopeless and miserable so that the middle and upper classes can live better inside their homes, the way EVERYBODY at all levels just throws rubbish on the ground and everywhere around them, and more) really feel as if they manifest in a physical way in the wretched, stinking filth of these horrible places.

But the pollution, terrible infrastructure, corruption and trash is another level.

India is a country. Name the city that was dirtiest there.

The number of people in this thread who cannot read. Smh.

I have been to many of them and lived there a long time, and I truly can't decide. I would say any Indian city is filthy, but I would say Delhi and Kolkata were the worst? Maybe? Again, it's so hard to say because they were all just so bad.

Fun story: I once took a week trip to Bengaluru after a colleague in Delhi kept assuring me how clean it was and I should go there for a little pick-me-up after I was particularly depressed by the pollution and stink and filth of Delhi, but nope. Bengaluru is also filthy.

People are trying to tell you that there is no winner (well loser) among them. The whole place is dirty. Every city, small town and street. All dirty.

So you’ve never been to Baltimore? Somebody sh!#ed in the garage I parked in over there. It was 104 degrees outside. When I tell you I had thoughts of abandoning my car and getting a new one I’m not even lying. ATP parts of the city are going through a Fentylution but it’s still going to take time. Street sh!#ers still roam the downtown areas.

In DC ours at least have enough since to squat over a metro trash can. Because of course that happened right in front of me

Longtime expat here, and China has changed so much in the past fifteen or so years. We live in a nearby country and travel around Asia a lot, and the difference in what the "tier one" cities in China looked like back then, and their level of cleanliness and convenience, has changed radically. I went to Shenzhen for a work thing a few weeks ago with a colleague who had never been to China, and she kept gushing about how clean and beautiful and modern Shenzhen is. The first time I visited Shenzhen was fifteen years ago, and I stayed for a month back then: it was super polluted, and you could taste the air sometimes, with smoggy skies every day. Now it is blue sky and clean, a big change from Chinese industrial grit to a modern innovation hub, just as they describe it now. It looks more modern and clean than a lot of US cities.

There are still many very polluted cities in China, and their human rights record is terrible, but the tier one cities are completely transformed to shiny, clean, and modern places I would actually recommend visiting now.

I think you dont get inference. Many of the posters named cities in India but so many that people are agreeing on the whole country.

You should practice that skill. If an AI model can infer its raining because people have umbrellas you can get it. You should also practice not being rude.

We traveled to SF last summer, and it was a gorgeous city. We were staying in a hotel in lower Nob Hill. Yes, if you walk two blocks south, there was a little section of the Tenderloin area that had lots of homeless, druggies, nasty sidewalks, etc. If you avoid that little 2 block section, everything else is beautifully clean for a large city.
