"things like /r/gamingsuggestions and local city subreddits still make the site worthwhile to me."

Local city subreddits are one of the best things about reddit. National politics sometimes leak in, which is when they're at their worst, but, overall, it's probably my favorite thing there.

Maybe for the smaller cities it is different but I've stopped visiting /r/boston because every single thread someone brings up politics and it becomes a flamewar between left/right.

Yes, you're right, I think. I am active on /r/stlouis and /r/nyc and the former is a far better community.
