Once again, maybe I am naive but I don't understand why people would choose to live in these crapholes. I have traveled all over this country and there are SO MANY possibilities, places you can move to where you could reinvent yourself. Driving through Kansas once, I remember thinking, just in that state alone, there are so many different places you could move to which are totally safe, offer great quality of life, very low cost of living, decent economy, I don't get it!
i dont think no ghetto beats your pic of camden, not even baltimore or detroit.
^ lord no! Nothing like that exists in the USA on that true level. That's more than likely somewhere to the likes of South America or more than likely Southeast Asia.
Unless there are Palm trees in Detroit or in St. Louis Il, this is definitely not any part of what I would call America.
There is a Palm tree at the left side of the photo and it wouldn't surprise me if this photo is of a third world nation, the same
sorry status that the politicians here in America, are trying their damnedest to get US to reach.
New York City have a lot of slummy neighborhoods with the high cost of living. Also, the tri-state suburbans such as NJ and Conn have patches of run-downs near the elite, upper middle class neighborhoods. Then, Philadephia down to DC have some of the same deteriorating problems, except not as expensive as NYC.
I also think Detroit,Chicago,and Cleveland are similar to the Northeastern ghettos,( even though I have never visited them, but knew people who had lived there)
To some people, the projects and black people walking around is 'the ghetto', when it's really not. 'Ghetto' isn't a racial thing, it's a mindset.
In this case it is .....In D.C I wont classify any areas slums in 2010...but the subsidized housing, projects, and low income apartments are the worst parts
