    According to a nationwide survey of people looking to relocate and buy real estate, these are the worst-smelling cities in the United States.
    Nobody wants to buy a home where it stinks and real estate agents and Realtors really don't bring that sort of thing up until they have to.
    That is why we make videos like this so you know what you are getting into before you
    Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

      Back in the 70s and early 80s when I worked in the offshore oil patch I would spend a lot of my time off in New Orleans. I'll never forget walking down Bourbon Street after partying all night at 6AM when all those restaurants and bars put their full garbage cans out on the curb to be picked up. I've never smelled anything like it since. I get nostalgic about those times every now and then.

      I lived in SFBA and I found the odors varied depending on the districts, as Briggs mentioned the tenderloin smelt differently than the downtown shopping dining area. But the nightly fog keeps place damp, cool and keeps in odours that do exist. Bright summer sun burnt away a lot of smell. But I left before the huge homeless crush.

Although they're smaller, I would also add Martinez (makes my eyes water), "Smell" Segundo (due to that plant) though it's at the ocean, any place downwind of the Mobil Oil Refinery in Torrance (I speak from experience), and anywhere in moderately close proximity to Harris Ranch. I recall the parent of a Chico State student telling me about the "Chico Smell" on Sunday mornings, after a sizable portion of the student body partied harder than they were able on Saturday night. Evidence - both visual and olfactory- would make this city a contender!
