There's nothing more "ghetto" than talking $hit on the internet!
Most people don't know what it's like to kill people and see people be killed, which is a GREAT thing! Anyone who WANTS to live in a ghetto may literally be mentally handicapped!
okay, that's the point. facts are exactly my point. there's no experience needed when it comes to facts.
All im tryna say no ghetto is harder than the other. Compton ain't like the place you grew up in, your not gonna find people walking there dogs, being friendly towards you, inviting you to dinner and s****.
I was born in 79 and grew up there (35B Orr Weathers) and moved to Texas in 95 we went back to visit in 06 and said we will never go back. All of my family has moved away because its sad to see something that actually once looked descent turn into a graveyard looking place.
Camden, Wilmington, Westside Chicago, Southside Chicago, East Saint Louis, Gary. All bombed out degenerative areas that are stains to the reputation of the U.S.
In my opinion:
I'm going by metro area, not specific city
1. Baltimore
2. Chicago (because of Gary)
3. Detroit
4. Philadelphia/Camden
5. Saint Louis
6. New York (East Orange)
FYI: Atlanta, GA was the first city in America to build & open public housing projects (Techwood Homes), even before New York City's First Houses projects. Techwood opened in 1935 just before First House. And in 2009, Atlanta became the 1st city of it's size to tear down ALL public housing projects inside the city limits. Atlanta today (supposedly) currently has NO housing projects. Techwood Homes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia End near for Atlanta housing projects - US news - Life - msnbc.com
Jesus, this thread makes the ghetto areas in Sac look like the Hamptons.
The worst ghettoes I've seen were along my train ride from NYC through the Bronx and up to New Haven, CN. Worst than a lot of the third world, I have to say. Looked like a warzone.

Agreed. If it's just worst looking I'd say NYC (Bronx, Uptown, North Brooklyn) and north eastern cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia etc

That's a damn lie. I've seen grown thugged out men walking toy dogs in the hood before. Most people are friendly in the hood too. If your entire image of the hood is nothing but tatted up gangsters shooting people day in night, shoot if your image of the hood is anhything but a place filled with mostly normal poor folks and a handful of degenerates than you need to lay off the hollywood movies.
Contrary to sheltered beleif more people in the hood have real jobs than sell crack. There's more jesus freaks that go to church 3 times a week and have cookouts and bible theology debates than armed robbers.
