The city of Atlanta hasn't had White poor neighborhoods for a while now, and as a result has one of the highest educational attainment rates among Whites in the country.

US Cities still safer than Mexican cities.

That post was horrible and littered with inaccurate statements. Boston has no white ghettos I live in Boston for 10 years, it has poor white people but they were not even close to ghetto.

It is an outdated statement, South Boston surely could have been called an Irish ghetto in like 1985, but certainly not in 2015.

Not necessarily all of them, Mexico City usually puts up the same rate as LA while Guadalajara is about level with Houston

Well Mexico City is having a really bad year so maybe in 2015 Guadalajara is better. In general tho, yeah
http://static.visionofhumanity.org/s...t%202015_1.pdf
Guadalajara has a homicide rate of 11/100k, Mexico City Metro has 10.2/100k. But yeah, I think most people don't realize that there is more to Mexico than just Acapulco/Ciudad Juarez/Tijuana, those cities are like the Mexican versions of Detroit/Baltimore/St. Louis and do not represent the entire country

Acapulco is bad too? I always thought it was a resort city like Los Cabos, Mazatlan, Cancun, etc. I was still surprised about Guadalajara though. I always thought it would be much safer than Mexico City.
