Flint, Michigan
Flint used to be a thriving auto industry town, but the municipal water supply is now pure poison. The city has landed in a state of emergency due to off-the-charts lead content caused by cost-cutting measures. The place is not safe for both residents and visitors.

Oakland, California
San Francisco’s neighbor has been dealing with the major issue of crime since the 1960s. It is difficult for Oakland to keep violence in check in the picturesque waterfront city due to a traditionally poor relationship between the community and law enforcement and a consistently dwindling police force. Forbes has ranked the city first in violent robberies nationwide but the good news is Oakland may be improving. According to Guardian, gun violence has dropped 30%, though the city has had 103 cases of homicide in the first half of 2019.
