19. Lynwood, California

Lynwood was classified as “The best place to live” up until authorities decided to build Interstate 105 through the city. The once peaceful suburbs suddenly became unlivable as the noise and air pollution came flooding in to destructive effect. As a result of this, a lot of people had to move out as well as lots of businesses were demolished in the process of getting the space for the construction.

18. West New York, New Jersey

West New York is almost like a big dumpster as the city suffers heavy traffic and trash problems. The dwindling refuse services simply cannot cope with the mounting levels of trash and illegal dumping. As a result, entire communities become completely devalued and urban blight begins to seep in. With these annoying issues comes the fact that the city has a 22% poverty rate and a commute time of 37 minutes.
