Social media users have been left divided over a TikToker's round-up of the three worst major US cities to live in.
Founder and CEO of feat clothing brand, Taylor Offer, has lived in 'almost every major US city' and so, naturally, he decided to take to TikTok and share his view on the 'three worst cities to live [...] in your 20s'.
Offer weighed up the cities by taking into consideration factors such as high prices, the weather and nightlife. And with that, the unlucky city coming in at number three is Miami, Florida.
Despite being the home of the OG Burger King, in a since-deleted video, the TikToker explains his reasoning for the 'shocker' being the weather and how expensive living in the city is.

Offer says Miami is 'super fun for a weekend' and many people go there and think it's 'awesome,' but he argues if you actually decide to settle down and live there, you will 'hate it'.
He says: "First of all, three or four months of the year you cannot walk outside, it is so muggy. You walk outside and you drip sweat within five minutes. It is miserable, you don't want to leave your house.
"Number two is if you're in there in your 20s, you're gonna feel so poor. Everywhere you go it's clubs, it's restaurants, it's expensive, it's people flexing and [...] you just can't do stuff."
So which city comes in as runner up?
That would be San Francisco.
So what were the TikToker's reasons? It's 'horrible,' 'extremely expensive for rent' and the 'guy to girl ratio is just like 12 guys for one girl which sucks'.
And, speaking from experience, Offers says you get 'fresh human faeces on your doorstep every morning,' which sounds like a s*** deal to be fair.
And last, and apparently very much least, is Nashville.
Offer argues the city is the worst of all because there is 'no healthy food'.
"Everything is fried so you'll gain 20 pounds instantly," he says, noting they 'don't believe in salads' and there's beer 'everywhere.'
He also said Nashville is 'really racist and backwards in many ways' too, with him being Jewish, Offer says 'they didn't like that'.
And TikTokers have flooded to the post to given their opinions on Offer's list, and the verdict is pretty mixed.
One user said: "I feel the exact same about Nashville and oh my G*d you took the words out of my mouth. I feel so validated."
However, another argued: "The Nashville one is so off."
"San Francisco is probably the easiest city to get around bc of public transit," a third commented, while a fourth wrote: "I lived in Miami when I was 25, it was incredible."
Each to their own, I guess.
