When people started leaving rural areas for cities with hopes of finding a better life, they probably didn’t expect urbanization to get so out of hand. Now the concrete jungles where dreams were supposedly made of are seen drowning in pollution, trash, traffic, and dystopian dwellings. One could say that the promise of a better life has somehow turned into urban hell. 

To show just how really bad things are getting, Bored Panda compiled a list of the worst consequences caused by developing cities shared on the Urban Hell subreddit. Scroll down to find them, and make sure to upvote the ones that made you sad to see the reality we live in.

    There's a story behind this. Until a few years ago Grimsby was gifted a lovely Christmas tree every year from the people of Norway as a gesture of thanks for Grimsby's help during WWII. It was a GIFT, not something that the people of Grimsby paid for. It was sent across by boat around about September/October time and kept in storage until November when it was decorated and put on display. A few years ago the idiots at the council stored it incorrectly so that by the time it was ready for it to go on display it was mostly dead. Everybody blamed Norway and claimed that they had sent an inferior tree. There was so much moaning and complaining I the local newspaper and on social media that the people in Norway responsible for sending it said that, given their GIFT wasn't good enough, on reflection it would be better if they didn't bother sending a tree any more, and that was the end of that relationship. The tree in the picture is now the best the council can come up with.
