These are the worst cities to live in when you’re in your 20s – where is your city located?

A TikToker’s informal ranking of cities he hates has sparked controversy after his latest video named Nashville the worst place to live for 20-somethings.

“As someone who lived in almost every major American city in my 20s, here are the three worst cities to live in the US in my 20s,” Taylor Over, CEO of the clothing brand a jobsaid V Recent viral clip With 3 million views.

He said Miami’s humid weather and high cost of living make it undesirable, ranking it third. He also lamented the humidity and feeling “very poor” due to the array of expensive clubs and restaurants within his reach.

“I know this is shocking to a lot of people,” he added. “Miami is so fun for a weekend getaway. When you go there, you’re like, ‘That’s cool,’ but if you live there, you’ll hate it.”

The second-worst place on Over’s list is San Francisco – despite being fourth in the “America’s Best Cities” index – which he described as just “horrible” and “like an entire city”.

“The rent is so expensive, and the ratio of guys to girls is just like 12 guys to one girl – which is bad – in every bar, every club you go to,” he complained. “You pay thousands of dollars for rent no matter where you are, and every morning you find new human feces on your doorstep.”

Not to mention that “you can’t have a car”, otherwise it will be broken into, yet the city is not walkable because of the “hills”, so it is sponsored by Uber.

“There’s no healthy food, everything is fried, so you’ll gain 20 pounds right away,” Over complained. “They don’t believe in the authorities there.”

“I live in San Francisco in my 20s with a car that has never been broken into and have never taken an Uber,” another skeptic wrote.

“San Francisco isn’t mountainous everywhere, there are definitely walkable areas. It’s a great city, I don’t like this negativity in San Francisco,” another person agreed.

“I’m not sure you’ve been to Nashville lately,” one viewer said.

“I disagree, I spent seven years in Miami Beach and had a lot of fun, especially the dive bars are great!” commented another.
