To be fair, there are what most people would consider urban hellscapes in pretty much every city around the world.
But some are definitely worse than others. And these places seem to be the kind of spots where you wouldn’t ever want to get stranded or have to spend a night.
Hey, I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just sayin’…
Take a look at these photos and we’ll see you on the other side.
