If you did show that, it would help prove your point.

Smmfh! How about come here and I will give a personal tour of the ghettos, abandon areas and the more affluent areas. Why don't you drive from the eastside to the westside & from southwest to northend before you talk ****!. Funny thing is you all sit in ur so called "great cities" and point your finger. "oh I never been to Detroit but I'll say Detroit is worst because the media keep telling me its bare and vacant and nothing but thugs there" smh pathetic fools. How is it if you never been to one of the cities how the hell would you know which is worse? idiots!. I never been to Baltimore but I have always wanted to go regaurdless of what the damn media says or how many "The Wire" type shows are made. Just as I always wanted to go to Philly and N.O as well because I know from living in the Detroit that media will overexaggerate **** to the max. Esp when dealing with a city with a sizable black population. But I won't get on any forum downing any city either. Half the cities you all live in aren't much better by the way. Maybe more nice parts but still have plenty of ghetto as well.
Well said. When joining C-D a few years ago, I joined because some people gave interesting perspectives and I felt I would learn something from people that live all over. I read through this thread with the hopes of some people rejecting the comparison of slums. In reality, it's not much different from comparing who got raped worse out of two women. Sound harsh? It's not, because lots of bad things happen in these areas, yet people are on this site trying to figure out which one out-does the other.

I'd rather read a thread that brainstormed on which city could improve city conditions faster, and how.

Yeah but at least Baltimore has these to give you fair warning that your're venturing into the Ghetto.
