This bumper sticker is beyond offensive - there is no reason for the “actually” to be there. I find it rude and condescending!

In what world is this “offensive”

Because of the “actually” - it suggests that most people wouldn’t like this city and portrays it negatively.

Most people don’t like this city. Which is why it’s worded correctly.

That's kind of the whole point of the sticker.

Which would be an accurate depiction, regardless of what you or I may personally think.

Hard disagree. While there's lots about the city that's good, there's no denying that there are some serious and systemic problems in the city and that its reputation is reflected by those problems in the media. Even if the hyperbole surrounding those problems doesn't match the nuance or complicated nature of them, you can't deny the reality that the perception of the city is lacking.
You can be offended all you want, but it doesn't invalidate a lot of the reasons people have left the city, nor their experiences in dealing with the city's problems at the ground level.
