Oh damn, you mean I have to go back? I was trying to do something a little different here. LOL. Well I guess LA, at least I'd be around family and friends...

Seattle would be my choice. No real ghettos. If anyone tries to say Seattle is hard and has plenty of ghettos they are not telling the truth. The hardheads try to act like there's real tough hoods but there really isn't. I lived in many big cities and I can honestly say Seattle by far has the least amount of rough areas and ghettos.
I chose Los Angeles. I always figured if I had to be homeless the weather HAS to be good. I dont understand why some homeless people dont save up enough for a bus ticket out of Chicago to some place warm. I am sure there is a reason but I am pretty sure I would high tail it out of here.
If I had to live in the ghetto, in a house. I'd probably stay inside, all the time. I'd be an easy target.
I was just talking about this last night!! I've seen the same homeless people downtown in Chicago begging for loose change for years now. Why on earth don't they just save up $50 and go down south!?!?!? It's amazing during January and February when it's cold in Chicago that they still just stand outside for hours and hours begging for 25 cents.
Los Angeles. They have yards, nice houses, and palm trees. Los Angeles could possibly pass for having the nicest ghettos in America.
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.
El Paso has poverty areas that are more dangerous than most of the rest of the city. The hardest part about living there would be the language barrier, but it would probably be safer than most of those on the list.
I think I would go with whatever one has the most economic opportunity to work to get out of the ghetto.
