Kind of seems to me... let's say for example, Vancouver, Canada. Beautiful town. Super clean, like a shinier but more down-to-earth version of Seattle (it's always been my experience, anyway). Friendly people, strong economy, great city. About 95 out of 100 people love it there. Still, there will be those 5 people that can't help but wander off the main streets, poking around into the back alleys and point at some graffiti they find in some remote spot and go, "See? SEE? This city is a mess!" What? No, it's not.
It's like, stop going into back alleys and pointing at graffiti. Stay in the nice parts of town, you know you like those parts. If you're looking for graffiti or whatever in a city, you're probably going to find it if you look hard enough. Save yourself the calories. Be happy.
