oh, lest i forget detroit!
that place ruled. my information is a little dated [2011 was last time] but there was lots of great infrastructure w/out heavy handed police./security. average people were pretty supportive too.
might not be as cool now that white people are flooding back in.
buffalo was really cool a long time ago, cleveland as well.
sf was great 20 yrs ago. it's spots have shriveled and the AVEs are really rough [sidewalks are nice]. if you're good then it's great, if you're average, it's gonna be more 'oh my god, i can't beleieve ol' boy did such and such here'.
