New Haven, Conn. They are mean in one of those holier-than-thou ways. Other towns are just badasses, but they are badasses and snobs at the same time. And don't think they are rich snobs, as anywhere two blocks from Yale has houses that fall apart at the seams.

I wish! Maybe ten years ago that motto applied, now it should be called "starbucks sipping, yuppie-assclown city"

Does it have to be in a fair fight type manner? 'Cause New Orleans is pretty good at getting people to knock themselves down on their own asses.

That's the Upper West Side and The Village... maybe SOHO and Williamsburg, too. The rest of the city can still beat any other three cities you care to name.

I actually own a t shirt that says "Welcome to New York City. Now give me your f*cking wallet".

I wear it to work sometimes.

The World's Bad-Ass City has to be Los Angeles... oh and btw, Glendale (or the entire SF Valley) is home to the valley girls... the only thing cool about Glendale is the Mall, which is ginormous.

Ha! I lived in Madison, as if they're the best! Mostly just trying to ban the pledge of allegiance and looking for Audrey Seiler. Bad-assity award goes to Miami (besides the old people).

I wanna jump in by saying that the cool parts of New York are not badass, and the badass parts of New York are not cool.

Connecticut as a whole has the highest per capita income in the entire USA.

Hawthornes whack, its airport is ghettolicious and there really isn't anything to do there. Besides, Hawthorne would get it's ass kicked by Lennox and/or Inglewood.

Well its the only badass city I've lived in, never even heard of Lennox. And I always thought Inglewood was another middle-class city.



Side note, I hated that airport. Really annoying when your trying to sleep.

Inglewood is like 50/50, but its more ghetto than middle class. I go to catholic school there and its pretty ghetto, but it doesn't compare to Inglewood High or Krosher (The junior high whos library was burned down twice in a span of only three years!). The airport is really crappy, and the restaurant there really sucks. Oh, and Lennox is like between Inglewood and Hawthorne by Imperial Highway... its like by LAX Tacos...

Ah every city I have seen on this list is pretty crap. Nothing beats Melbourne Australia - best city in the world Period. Nothing comes close PERIOD!

If given a choice where to live, I’d chose Melbourne because it is the best place to live. Better than any city anywhere in the world.
