I'm kind of surprised by everybody saying LA ghettos look so nice. I guess you can't depend on movies about Compton and Watts afterall, lol.
But in all seriousness, I once had a professor in my black power movement class tell me that LA will fool you. You'll be in an area that looks pretty nice, and the guys there talk pretty "neutral", and before you know it they're robbing you.
Wrong some areas in downtown killeen do rival dallas. I had two friends murdered in killeen so don't give me that crap
Oh please. Sorry about your friends, but your two friends could have been murdered in Salado and it still doesn't mean their hoods are as bad as Dallas. I grew up in Killeen. There is NOTHING in Killeen as bad as Pleasant Grove or South Oak Cliff.
Oh my goodness the ghettos in the South are sprawly! As a Northerner, I associate ghettos with high-density housing and infrastructure....often with high-rises. "If an area is rural, it can't be a ghetto", is often my thinking when I'm in Northern cities. These pictures prove otherwise! Although it doesn't necessarily look dangerous per se, it certainly looks decrepid and abandoned, which is telling in an of itself.

Southern ghettos don't have your typical housing projects.
In Houston and Dallas a lot of the ghettos are actually former African-American towns that were inhabited by free slaves that were eventually annexed by the Houston and Dallas. That's why a lot of them have that rural look and feel, cause they're really just small towns that got annexed, lol.
A few weeks ago we drove from Downtown Dallas to Sweet Georgia Brown in south oak cliff, it felt like we should be hitting a different town soon.
I didn't disrespect him and I am sorry to hear about his friends. But crime can happen anywhere was my main point. But nothing in the town I grew up could rival the worse hoods in Dallas.

Like stated before, this is pretty typical for ghettos in the South. Only New Orleans and perhaps Miami has ghettos that have high density but Miami is spread out over complexes so there are very little highrises. Don't be fooled though. Doesn't look dangerous but....

Yep. Even in DC. It's a different world from Southeast compared to the rest of DC. Some of it looks downright rural.
