I'm surprised so many people chose NYC, too. You wouldn't be living in that city's ghettos for long.

NYC, Chicago, Philly, Detroit, DC, and Baltimore ghettos are dense, families are sharing rooms with other families, buildings are rotting, windows are broken, tarps replace doors, weeds grow in sidewalk cracks, potholes are on every square foot of the streets, streets and alleyways are eerie and infested with drug addicts and homeless people, cockroaches and rats are running freely, garbage is overflowing, cars are stripped, etc. Really depressing and yet it interests you at the same time.
Hey! Every time I visit Cali, not the ghetto areas, the nice areas, those damn expensive cockroaches and rats chase my ass back to the nearest hotel... You got to be kidding me!!!

Also, I seen Compton and all the shootouts I had to run and darge from... You got to be kidding me...

At least the cockroaches and rats and ny dies when you shot them... The ones in LA get right back up like nothing happen...

Have any of you ever visited the 'hood'? Not just drive through the neighborhood with your windows up and doors locked,but to actually get out of the car and mingle with the locals. Probably not because the "dicks" as we like to call them (narcs) would probably pull you over because of suspicion to buy illegal pharmaceuticals.
