I think it’s silly and misleading to list Chernobyl as one of the worst places to live. No one could live there since 1986 due to the nuclear meltdown and radiation. How can it be on this list if no one has lived there in almost 40 years?

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, that's what turns videos like this from informational to trivia/internet superstition. Heck a documentary actually interviewed real people CURRENTLY living there and have been since the explosion and they're mostly fine. they do stay barricaded mostly but are relatively healthy. It likely couldn't sustain a large population, but a small quaint village didn't show much signs of cancer or the horror stories people spread about it. Similar to how the two Japanese Cities bombed quickly recovered despite the US following up with tons of propaganda about how deadly fall out would be. Nagasaki and HIroshima are currently some of the largest cities and showed little evidence of the fall out resulting in legions of mutations. Yes fall out CAN cause these issues, but sensationalists like to treat what's likely a 5 year long disaster as a "To this day, you'll grow extra arms if you go near there" like they've read too many marvel comics or watched Avengers before writing the report.... Radiation doesn't work that way.... it's literally just exactly what it says on the tin, microscopic projectiles that CAN cause damage. Not a "miasma" of evil energy that can be "washed off with soap and water" or "duck and covered, then carry on." while simultaneously making an area "uninhabitable for the next century".

Asmara is actually one of the nicest places to be in Africa. It is very clean, absolutely safe and low traffic and has good infrastructure and architecture because its basically an italian town from the 1930s and the climate is near to perfect which is around 20-28 °C all year round. There are many bars, restaurants and cafes just as in Europe. I have been there more than 10 times because I am Eritrean. The points you‘ve made about the city is being a bad place to live is purely due to poverty and politics which aren’t much better anywhere else. I’d rather live in Asmara than in Addis Abeba for example because Addis Abeba is dangerous, crowded and more polluted than Asmara. Many westerners would be surprised how comfortable it is to be in Asmara.

Very fascinating and informative video. In my opinion, Los Angeles was an odd choice; there's just no comparing it to Norilsk.

[@MarioMastar]

Most of these seem to be based on what information you can readily read about on the internet (from journalists mostly) but rarely address what's actually seen from ground zero by interviewing people who live there (Assuming you're allowed to. We only know North Koreans live horribly because they're NOT allowed to share thier experiences, which is a stronger indication of how bad a place is to live there than just some disgruntled californian who expected to be as rich as a movie star because he lives in LA and watched too many hollywood movies).

[@snowlabradorffn]

@@MarioMastar Well said. The reason I think Los Angeles shouldn't be grouped with the others is that, while it might be a pretty bad place to live if you are poor, if you're rich it has everything you want; restaurants with any type of cuisine you can imagine, weather that many consider to be ideal, cultural amenities, and nature not too far from the city. By contrast, I think a place like Norilsk would suck even if you do have a lot of money.

I have a Canadian friend who has been to both North Korea and Tristan da Cunha (he's been there a couple of times). He wanted to experience both types of isolationism, but he definitely prefers the island.

[@rapidthrash1964]

-La Riconada has no real town government actually, utilities and the paycheck for the gold miners is a crappy policy (work 30 and then get to take as much ore one can carry as their payment). -Norilsk is a closed city actually and the soil has become so polluted that mining it a second time is economically feasible. -Tristan da Cuhna is actually a nice I hear and the slow pace of life without the distractions of typical living elsewhere is considered a blessing. -Alert is a research base, not a town; Grise Fjord (also on Ellesmere Island) though is an inhabited town.

[@wardarcade7452]

Let's not overlook that (in addition to the blatant graft, crime, corruption and poverty) La Riconado at 5700 meters (16,700 feet) in altitude has a limited oxygen supply and has unbelievable pollution with unspeakable filth in its streets (only three showers available to the public - that's three individual showers- to be paid for). As for Tristan da Cunha? Yes, it has a slow pace with no distractions of city life. However, it's SO remote that food and supplies are rather sporadically imported and virtually the only locally produced food are the potatoes which each inhabitant is expected to participate in the farming of. Also, one had better learn to be civil if not like as many of one's neighbors as possible as only about 238 people live there. Hence, it's not hard to imagine that with its dual combo of extreme remoteness and a small population this would be a place where most if not everyone would be minding else's business . So if one likes having urban services, fresh varied cuisine and privacy, this likely wouldn't be the ideal spot.

I live in South Carolina. In 2016, I made a trip to Peru with a real interest in going to La Rinconada. My Peruvian connection there didn't work out. So I asked multiple people in Cuzco if someone would accompany me if I would pay part of their expenses. It seemed even in a touristy place like Cuzco, English language was not that available and those who translated my requests to the locals for my proposal always said they were not interested in going. I was too chicken to go alone! I never went to LR. I still think about my time in Peru. The trip was good though.

[@mlisaj1111]

Los Angeles has a far LOWER crime rate than Houston Texas (Google the comparison) and also compared to many other Red state cities. And California and LA attract the homeless population from throughout the US. The chronically homeless in the US often eventually get a bus ticket to California…coming for the better weather, services and because they aren’t harassed for just sleeping on the streets. So California gets to deal with much of the homeless from the rest of the US.

Chernobyl was not the name of the city, it was the name of the power plant. Pripyat was the name of the city.

Surprised Monrovia was not on the list.

Colima is a paradise unless you are involved in the cartel.

[@TheCaptainLulz]

Firstly, the city at Chernoby is called Pripyat. Secondly, acute radiation syndrome required a higher dose than you'd get just living there, and some people still live in the zone. All youd get is an elevated risk of cancer, most of the hottest stuff has already gone through a half-life or more, levels are slowly dropping.

[@MichaelC-to7uz]

Very good info.

Granted I havnt been to many of these, but from my fairly extensive travels….Antananarivo and Addis Ababa should be added as honorable mentions

It’s funny to me that he lists -15c and 35c as brutal unlivable temperatures. In Nova Scotia we regularly get 30’s in the summer and -10’s in the winter. It’s nice to have variety of seasons but it’s hard to ever get acclimated when it’s always changing 😂

I’m British and 35C is rough but certainly not unlivable

The nuclear power plant was called Chernobal the town right next to it that was greatly impacted was Pripyat.

Thank you!! Came to the comments to say this

Worst place to live is anywhere where u dont have clean tap water, fresh groceries, healthy food, or good schools.

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

I can confirm that LA absolutely belongs on the list for anyone who does not have a substantial fortune. Not bad to visit though if you plan it out.

Tristan da Cunha I find a trip due to how remote it is.. how small the island it .. I think some 270 people live there but the community is really tight knit and they work all together for the society to run smoothly which seems nice. On the other side of the token though there is an active volcano that erupted I think in the 60s... I can not imagine being on such a small island with something like that happening along with (I'd imagine) all of the crazy storms they likely get that we most don't hear about.

Pyongyang is actually the best city in North Korea. It is much worse in the countryside and in minor cities. For people there It's even forbidden to travel to the capital without permission. While there is enough food in Pyongyang, malnutrition is common in other regions of the country.

[@IsabelJones69]

In my opinion, the North Korea of Europe would be Belarus. What would it be for Oceania, North America and South America?

[@Minelordsuniverse]

Not sure about oceania, maybe nauru is bit close For n.america , if u count central america and the carribean, it would be nicaragua probably (or cuba depending on who u ask) South america, venezuela is the closest

[@IsabelJones69]

@@Minelordsuniverse I was thinking Cuba for North America and Venezuela does make the most sense

[@SassyyjuicyMaria]

I do live in South America, I reckon it'd be Venezuela hands down

[@adeejinnz]

The worst place to live in Oceania would be Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. High crime, high poverty, corrupt police force. As for isolated, Nauru is a good suggestion. I would also suggest Tokelau. There isn’t even an airport there.

[@stevelauda5435]

I've been to L.A and can't stand the place, I will never go there again. Way too much sunshine, not a single cloud from 6 a m to 9 p.m relentless sun. I much prefer a sky with clouds.

Tristan da Cunha doesn’t seem like an awful place to live because it’s lowly populated, trust me, I live in a small remote village of under 100 people and we all know each other and there is a very strong sense of community, what seems to be a massive problem to me is how the hell do you go to the hospital ? 6 days ship ? You just die if you have a stroke ig

[@techguy1038]

This video's qualifications of a worst places to live involves 3 major catalogues. The weather, air quality, and standard of living. LA has the one of the best weather in the USA, just behind San Diego. The air quality in LA is still much better than any 3rd world large cities. Sure LA has it's homeless issues, but the standard of living for the average person is still much better than 3rd world countries.

I think Alert could be cool so long as you went there knowing what you were getting into, and with the right wardrobe. Just, not in summer.
