The Bronx is an old, ugly looking, gritty, dirty place with many high crime neighborhoods. Most of the borough looks the same, in other words, ghetto. You have Latino and blacks throughout the borough, with little white enclaves far away. So the diversity is pretty low, unless you enjoy seeing Puerto Ricans, African Americans, Dominicans, Mexicans, and Jamaicans all over the place. Too many buildings and housing projects. Too many people on some kind of assistance. Too many drug dealers and drug addicts. Too many people with aids...etc etc
Atleast in other boroughs the ghetto does not make up the majority. The non-ghetto neighborhoods also don't look the same as the ghetto ones (unlike the Bronx where even Riverdale looks like Fordham).
The Bronx is tough. It's just a tough, grim, gloomy place.
Lol before you know it he is gonna say trogsneck looks just like mott haven. If you gripe about the bronx you can cross the harlem river and go back to da heights. Theres lots of aids in the heigths too, lots of banging girls thier.
Anyone who could say that Riverdale looks like Fordham has an astounding lack of knowledge of The Bronx.Have you ever even been to Riverdale?
I agree Riverdale is nothing like Fordham but as I said in a previous post you need a car to get to the best parts of Riverdale. Even where the 1 train ends on the edge of Riverdale although, it's no where ghetto like Fordham it is dominated by apt. buildings on one side and VC park on the other. Take the Queens and even Brooklyn elevated trains you see more of a landscaping of one and two family homes. So those outsiders who don't know the Bronx are going to get a distorted view of the place. Also being on the border with Westchester County and border towns like the Pelhams doesn't help. Most Queens neighborhoods that border Nassau towns have similar housing styles. So the contrast is not so stark.

I warned Mario once you see his post he was going to get it. I can't wait for Sobroguy's response. I'll have to make sure to have the popcorn.
Throggs Neck is another one of my favorite areas of the Bronx. It just needs better transit.
People who come with Metro North to NYC will form their opinion on South Bronx pretty much from what they see out of the train window, and south of Fordham Rd the wiew starts to get disturbing. The Park and Webster Ave strips are in a sad state.

The train goes through a trench on park avenue which cuts through the housing pjs.

They look like that terrible Dutch Colonial Amityville Horror House. (The two first ones) No thanks!
