Yeah the Bronx was no joke. Those vacant areas were home to gangs who controlled abandoned buildings, junkies looking for their fix, prostitutes trying to make some money, and drug dealers who would provide the residents. With such a small population, and the insane amount of criminal activity, the crime rates in those areas where off the charts. No sane person had any reason to pass through vacant areas, their life would have seriously been in danger.
And I nominate Bridgeport, CT. Was there during the last weekend....many boarded up homes, vacant lots, and graffiti.
The east side of BP.
Were u even born in the bronx in the seventies? fck oudda here. Leave it too you to come in anything negative about the bronx..............And your FROM the bronx.......what A freaking Clown
lol what Londons 120 murders with 7+ million people?
my county miami dade population 2.4 million has over 230 a year with a rate of 10 per100k and some cities and areas reach the 20-80 per 100k
Miami beach has a rate of 18per 100k and the city of Miami around 15-20 varies per year, hopefully it stays down, make the city safer, all the poor thugs are moving to the suburbs
Fixed.
London being more murderous than NYC is pretty laughable imo. And murder is no laughing matter, I'm not crime boasting.
There's very few cities that all of it could be summed up as being "bad". It usually is just neighborhoods. This guy also listed Brooklyn and Baltimore... if he means all of them then I'd say that's ignorance. Oakland has a reputation for crime but its not all of the city.
NYC was pretty crazy from the 70s all the way through the 90s. Not the entire city, but a large portion of it.
I have family in the Bronx and traveled through there in the late 80s and early 90s...it was still really bad at that time, crime off the charts, and the decay in the area was still bad although in the transition phase by that time.
I can't speak personally for the 70s and earlier as I was born in 1980, but from what I have heard it was really bad as well. I've been going back to NYC just about every other year since then and in recent years it looks completely different, almost completely fixed up although the crime and poverty is still very high.
K.O.N.Y is my biggest fan. He's blocked though so I can't see what he writes. Probably talking about zoos and yankee stadium and how the Bronx is the greatest place on earth. He's the biggest idiot I've ever come across. He cant hop off these nuts either.
guzzle guzzle little man jaja
