Where are some good locations for new hostels?
I think that any major hub city in the US could benefit from additional hostels. Many American cities do not even have one hostel (Detroit, Michigan, and Berkeley, California are two that immediately come to mind).
Do you know of any good locations somewhere in the world that could benefit from a new hostel?

I'm bowing out of this conversation. Arguing over these points is not my aim.
Those who have an interest in opening a hostel in Venezuela can make what they will of this thread. If anyone would like any in-depth info about the country then I'm available to PM.
I'll reiterate that in my honest opinion, starting a hostel in Venezuela would be tricky under the current political climate.

What I really didn´t like in South America was that they have absolutely no idea of irony. Apparently, they haven´t even heard of it. You can´t make sarcastic jokes, nobody understands them.
I travelled a lot in overland buses; usually, they show videos of the worst kind. Think Chuck Norris, brutal war movies, heads cut off by chainsaws. Clearly not the stuff the small children in the bus should see, but nobody cares. The Moms only go berserk if bare breasts are shown - in that case, they immediately complain and threaten never to use that bus company again. :D

Is this situation true in places you cited? regards
The hostel scene is saturated in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Argentina, Chile, Singapore, Malaysia, and a lot of the more popular Central European cities so I wouldn't recommend starting a hostel there. But there are a lot of major destinations with no hostels.
In Europe there are no hostels in Toulouse, France; Waterford, Ireland; Leeds, Lincoln, Ludlow, Norwich, Sheffield and Shrewsbury in England. Milan - Italy's largest city - only has three hostels; and Turin only has one hostel.
As mentioned earlier there are several major US cities with no hostel. These include Baltimore, Columbus, Des Moines, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis, Milwaulkee and Pittsburgh. There are plenty of other smaller cities in the US that could also easily support a hostel.
how is Venezuelan situation now?
