Ive lived directly in 2 and near a third.

[bagelred]

I'm sure those people living in Detroit are happy to know we spend trillions keeping them safe from Al Quada.

Ive lived directly in 2 and near a third.
Which neighborhoods?

[Kblaze8855]

Looking at this one:

http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/sc/greenville/woodside/


I lived on the right side of that zone...Birnie street. A friend of mine did too. For like 4 years.

1 in 12 chance of being a victim?

I dont know. It was pretty hoodish...and the kid across the street did get arrested while fighting the police....but thats about it.

I remember reading that for its population my current city(Greenville) was short of only DC and Baltimore nationwide in crime. But ive been a "victim" just once in my life. And that was getting my 360 stolen years ago.

Was a string of murders last winter though....

[Kblaze8855]

Which neighborhoods?

5, 8, and 16. Somewhat near another one now that I take a closer look. We just didnt call it what they did.

:roll: :applause:

[nathanjizzle]

my mom works in zone 16. she has been a victim of armed robbery.

[MMM]

I wonder how this compares to other countries. I grew up in Jane n Finch which is considered a hood in Toronto but I doubt it even makes the top 100 in a list like this.

[IamRAMBO24]

I'm surprise LA isn't on the list. :oldlol: at Tulsa, OK and Memphis being more dangerous than LA.

[Bigsmoke]

my mom works in zone 16. she has been a victim of armed robbery.

i drive through #13 when i go to work "there's McDonalds over there on Roosevelt and kedzie"

i didn't really think that area was that bad but i did notices there are always a lot of crackhead over there.

[Bigsmoke]

I'm surprise LA isn't on the list. :oldlol: at Tulsa, OK and Memphis being more dangerous than LA.

i heard the crime in L.A. is WAAAY down than it was in the 80's and early 90's


but i dont know. I never been there.

and Memphis is no joke.

[JtotheIzzo]

Memphis is on there a few times. I think I'll go download some 8 Ball and MJG.

Memphis has been a "more dangerous city" than L.A. for a while :confusedshrug:

I've never been to Cali but been to Memphis and its ****ing nasty over there.

[Zan Tabak]

Detroit = avoid

[MetsPackers]

I lived in Camden NJ from 6-13 and left before high school because being a white kid in Woodrow Wilson HS is asking for trouble. I lived in the worst neighborhood too, North (not that the other one are any nicer, just North is all open air drug markets). It was a 3rd world country then, and it's the same way to this day.

Detroit, MI
(W Chicago / Livernois Ave) 149.48 1 in 7

Used to live about a mile from there, wasn't that bad imo.

[Fudge]

This is why Canada >>>>>>>

[Rake2204]

Detroit = avoidTruthfully, I'll fully admit there are some areas that are just about as bad as advertised, but there's a fair amount of good spots in Detroit too. For instance, hanging out and going for a stroll at Livernois and W. Chicago is a little different than chilling out downtown after a game at Comerica Park.

For a long time growing up, I'd really only catch fleeting glances at the bad parts as I was driving into the downtown area, so it didn't seem too bad. But if you know the right wrong places to go, things can get rough pretty quick. It's startling to see how quickly you can go from a nice, pleasant, clean neighborhood to one where 90% of the houses on any given street have been completely demolished while the few that remain are often burnt or in shambles.

My most recent trip out that way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asr5LR1TU_8

Another, featuring piles of garbage and abandoned boats (yes, boats) on what used to be a busy and functional neighborhood street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHqHXjEqjbE

[embersyc]

Worst neighborhood in america apparently:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=west+chicago+and+livernois+detroit&hl=en&ll=42.366346,-83.138694&spn=0.005331,0.008256&sll=45.00109,-86.270553&sspn=14.712228,33.815918&hnear=Livernois+Ave+%26+Chicago+W,+Detroit,+Wayne, +Michigan+48204&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=42.366346,-83.138694&panoid=7InQo4kWbcyROORW9cWdow&cbp=12,138.22,,0,4.08

When my mom used to live down there it was okay, but over the last decade she lived there houses would be stripped to the ground and burned within one day of them becoming abandoned. I could go to her house and everything was okay, nobody would mess with me, but 1 week after she moved out she went back and the house everything had been stripped out of her house. (That was about 3 years ago)

Lol @ Bloodz members posted up there on Google Maps. :roll: That's when you know.

[Balla_Status]

Yet we're worried about 3.6% of gun crime from assault rifles upper middle class suburbs.

[DetroitPiston]

Flint and Saginaw are justified. We Michiganders call Saginaw "Sagnasty" for a reason. Flint's one of the most depressing places in the world, especially when you pass by on the freeway at night. Hell, I once saw a shirt that said "Welcome to Flint, our crackhouse beats your crackhouse."

Can't speak for any of the Detroit neighborhoods but like any city, it depends on where you go.

[Rake2204]

Lol @ Bloodz members posted up there on Google Maps. :roll: That's when you know.Haha, I didn't even notice that. I'm so oblivious to that kind of stuff. If I drove past those guys I'd be like, "Aw, they're all wearing the same color. They must have put together a team of some kind. What a great example of a community coming together."

[IamRAMBO24]

I've been to LA, Memphis, OKC, etc. and let me tell you, both places are a walk down Disneyland's boardwalk compare to LA.

Why isn't compton on the list? We're talking about neighborhoods right? You can get shot there just wearing colored shoelaces.

I don't see Sesame Street on that list. Not impressed at all.

Those aren't gang members, they work at the car wash. Swing around to the front its open and there is a car inside.

[PHX_Phan]

The pictures are sometimes taken at different times, even if the view is only a 10 feet away from the previous one. That first image is the only one where I saw those dudes

Cruise a couple streets over and you'll see other people sporting red, including what looked to be an 8 year old kid. Pretty sure they aren't wearing those shirts for the car wash.

[Jameerthefear]

Memphis is definitely a shithole. Been there tons of times.

[Graviton]

Surprised at no Oakland, I live in San Fran and on the news you hear about people dying from shootings every other day around Oakland.

[Charlie Sheen]

[Zan Tabak]

Detroit... more dangerous than Baghdad.

:oldlol: Maybe Michigan can use that^^ as their license plate slogan.

[outbreak]

Was talking about this with my girlfriend the other day. We were watching a tv show in new york and they were talking about buying an apartment and flat out said this neighbourhood is too dangerous to even live in.
In Australia we have some rough neighbourhoods and rough parts where people hang out but on the whole I don't think there would be any suburb I'd be too scared to live in. Sure I wouldn't buy right near some commission flats or certain train stations/alley ways but the WHOLE suburb isn't a no go zone.
Hard to understand for me how people have to just avoid entire areas of their city because of crime.

[ALBballer]

So basically avoid South Side of Chicago and Detroit. Got it.

[MasterDurant24]

Most of my family is from the two Houston neighborhoods. 3rd Ward and Sunnyside

[nightprowler10]

What? Detroit more dangerous than Karachi and Baghdad? That can't be right.

[East_Stone_Ya]

Bigsmoke must be really proud that S Indiana Ave / E 60th St neighborhood :rolleyes:

[bdreason]

Scariest place in the U.S. I've been was East Vegas. Was scoring some yayo through a mutual friend, and ended up in a place I should not have been.


What's the deal with Chicago? Is the economy bad there or what? Why is crime so rampant?

[The_Yearning]

lol great find.

[MavsSuperFan]

This is why Canada >>>>>>>

http://s22.postimg.org/fq9tnc89r/Dance_Gif.gif

It's why almost all developed advanced nations >>> America.

1/7 people are victimized by crime in some areas of this country, maybe I am naive but that amazes me.

Can you really call yourself a first world country with these statistics?

[MavsSuperFan]

Yet we're worried about 3.6% of gun crime from assault rifles upper middle class suburbs.

The occurrence of inner city crime, in no way is a good argument against preventing mass shootings in upper middle class suburbs.

We should be trying to deal with both problems.

[MMM]

Glad that Moqdishu is not #1 any longer, used to be a very beautiful city pre civil war.

this list is terrible. Detroit, Stl, NO and London should not be compared to 2nd/3rd world shitholes

[Pointguard]

Growing up I used to live in three places that just had horrible reputations the South Bronx, East NY and Brownsville. Glad no NY place is on the map anymore. That's pretty amazing.

I used to live in East NY on Miller. East NY still has a lot of shootings. Don't know the statistics(and I never really trusted them anyway...there was that scandal a few years ago in the 81st precinct for example where they were intentionally lowering crime statistics) but regardless, shootings are still quite common.

Wow, Yeah, I didn't recall much violence, but it was a typical Brooklyn neighborhood, when I was there on Penn and right off of Livonia by PS13 (Roberto Clemente). If you went down toward Sheffield and Georgia from where I lived it was bad. But going up toward Van Sicilan I never ran into anything. Most of the time I was going toward Linden and played a lot of ball in Gerswhin.

As far as violence, it was fine during the daytime, but not so much at night, though that tends to be the case in most neighborhoods that are more violent, at least that I've been to. I mean aside from the more obvious things, there were specific incidents that reminded you that you had to be more careful than most places in NY. Actually, right from the start since a girl had just been stabbed in my building shortly before I moved in, though it apparently wasn't a break in, and it wasn't a fatal stabbing, she apparently just let the wrong guy in to her room. But I do also remember incidents around my block such as 3 murders in about a week, all not far from my block, though none actually on it, 2 cops getting killed in a relatively short period, probably no more than 2 months apart(one of these occurring pretty close to where I lived), a young kid who I think was 17 at the time getting stabbed to death because he was mistaken for someone else.

I'm also familiar with parts of Brownsville since it's right next to East NY, and I had several friends who lived there so I went there a lot. Where I use to hang out in Brownsville wasn't a war zone or anything, but again, a place you had to watch out. I don't recall as many violent incidents around there(Dean, Pleasant ect.) off the top of my head, but a lot of drugs, particularly crack, and there were some Bloods I'd see around there.

What's been great about NY in more recent years(since you can't eliminate crime completely in large cities) is that many of the neighborhoods that have had the bad reputations for years now have quite a few sections that aren't so bad. There still tends to be blocks in all of them where it's pretty dangerous, but some of these neighborhoods you can't really generalize anymore. Bed-Stuy is a good example. That's pretty mixed now.

Can't really speak much about the Bronx since I'm not as familiar with it. But regarding the South Bronx, my cousin died in Hunts Point back in '04, and that part was still pretty bad back then.

Weird. I mean there are parts in Vegas that are shady, but having gone to Vegas like 15 times a year, East Las Vegas has never been a problem.

Sheyitt I cruised my Google car around the block and those houses, cars, and lawns are a LOT nicer than my hood. But at least we have peace most of the time.

[MadeFromDust]

Surprised at no Oakland, I live in San Fran and on the news you hear about people dying from shootings every other day around Oakland.
Yup there are certain places where I've walked in that have just given me this sense of danger in the air and being in Oaktown was one of those times!

A lot of activity, cars going by, music blasting, people staring, some have worried looks on their faces, all looking around nervously, jumping at any sudden noises, etc.

i would think there would be few Oakland hood in there since Oakland is so small and has a shit load of crime there.

[Rake2204]

I'm a supporter of Detroit and I think I've maintained in this thread that it's not all as terrible as people like to make every part of it to be, but I thought this was fitting for the thread - it's a Google Streetview image from Detroit's east side:
