This Texas City Is The Dirtiest City In America
When one thinks of filth and a city that would be described as the "dirtiest" in the United States, many of us would probably think of New York or San Francisco or somewhere in New Jersey. But according to a recent study by LawnStarter, it's a city in Texas that has been dubbed the "Dirtiest in America".
In fact, two Texas cities made the "Top 10" of dirtiest cities in America according to LawnStarter. Which I'm not sure if that is really an honor or not.
The Dirtiest City in America? According to LawnStarter, it's Houston, Texas that takes the dirty crown. According to the New York Post, Houston ended up as number 1 due to poor air quality, problems with infrastructure, and the "staggering number of pests invading homes".
