What makes a city particularly unfriendly?
Be it population, traffic, crime, weather, or a combination of all aforementioned factors, something about the most unfriendly cities in Florida landed them on a list of the most unfriendly cities across the country.
According to a list compiled by MapQuest Travel, the most unfriendly cities in all of Florida are Orlando and Miami. Miami ranked as the sixth most unfriendly city in the U.S., and Orlando the eleventh.
Other cities on the list include Providence, Rhode Island, Seattle, Washington, Baltimore, Maryland, and Las Vegas, Nevada to name only a few.
Here's what MapQuest Travel had to say about the most unfriendly cities in the entire state:
Miami
"Horn honking, people yelling at each other, rude customer service and stuck up individuals who think they are better than you, all of this and more awaits visitors to Miami. This city is thought to be the capital of “me”, where everyone only cares about themselves and makes sure everyone else knows it. People here love to flash their expensive cars and clothes while looking down on those who aren’t on par with them. Racism is still a problem in this city and contributes to the unfriendliness of their nature. Don’t plan on heading to South Beach if you are looking to chill with the locals and be accepted, instead head somewhere like Virginia Key Beach for a more mellow and laid-back beach scene."
Orlando
"In a city that boasts “The Happiest Place on Earth”, it seems surprising that Orlando is actually really unfriendly. It is not certain whether it is the locals who are unfriendly, or just the tourists who are snapping at each other. Either way you can expect a lot of horns being honked, a lot of snappy comments and a slew of crying kids. Maybe it is all the tired feet or low blood sugar that comes from visiting the theme parks, but whatever it is, people here can’t wait to return to their hotels. The theme parks tend to be the worst place to deal with unfriendly people, but also tends to be the main draw here."
