I don't know if they should be in that exact order, but i can't say i'm too far off from what i'm trying to attempt.

East St. Louis makes alot of these places look like one big party.

Jacksonville is the quintessential armpit, a culture shock for anyone from the Northeast or probably anywhere els.

It will never recover? Newark's violent crime rate in 1995 was 3,985.3 incidents per 100k residents. It's property crime rate was 11,526.6 incidents per 100k residents. In 2007 Newark's violent crime rate was 852.7, and the property crime rate was 3,806.4. I'd call that a pretty big recovery.

I wouldn't say that major cities can't recover.

However, they can easily fall to no end (Atlanta and Houston, I'm talking about you).

I don't know how people can leave Youngstown, Gary, or Flint off ANY list.

Heck, Youngstown had 42 murders in 07 with only 73,000 people.

Or Cleveland for that matter. Continually in the top 10 for crime and Top 3 for poverty. I guess many people haven't driven through these areas. LOL









This is literally was 90% of how the eastside of Cleveland looks.. I'm 100% serious. It leads the nation in foreclosures.

Then you'll have to elaborate, because I don't get it.

I'm surprised you guys didn't mentioned MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, I'll compared that city to Flint and Saginaw.

You are right, Lansing is not that ghetto at all, but I'll surprise no one had mentioned Muskegon Heights, MI, I'll put Muskegon Heights next to Flint, Saginaw, Benton Harbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit as top ghetto Michigan cities.
