Default Worst neighborhoods

Gilpin Court in Richmond, VA. Most people don't realize how violent Richmond is, but there is an extremely high amount of cocaine trafficking, and it is a huge purchase point for guns for people and drug gangs from NYC. SE DC and the neighboring Maryland neighborhoods are very bad as well.

Default boredatwork

I dont know about today but the most dangerous neighborhoods have to be in one the cities that have claimed murder capital titles for consecutive years or cities that've averaged a murder rate of 40-50 per 100k over the last 20 years....that only leaves New Orleans, Washington, D.C, or Detroit

I do not believe this for a second. I am from Moscow, which has a much higher murder rate than LA, and I have never been shot at. And in Moscow, there are no wannabes. If someone said they were going to rob you in Moscow, they meant it. In America, people bark a lot but rarely bite.

Anyway, the most dangerous neighborhood is definitely not in New York City anymore. I still would not walk into Brownsville looking for trouble but I would say somewhere in Chicago or Miami these days. NYPD has too much of a strong presence now.

Your logic is flawed. I live in a city with a lower murder rate than Moscow and i have:

-heard gunfire many times
-found a spent shell casing on a city street
-have friends who have been shot/shot at
-known people who do the shooting

Also, no wannabes in Moscow? right, you're all bad asses who are completely serious and mean BUSINESS over there

No, you are either a criminal or you are not in Moscow. Nobody listens to rap and has red bandanas hanging out of their pockets in Moscow trying to act "ghetto." Russians are not like that. Russians are actually very serious and straightforward people. That is one reason my father's business took so long to do well. He did not understand how Americans culture is to not be honest all the time, just to make a pleasing impression. Business in America is much different. In Russia, the customer is not always right... and that is how my dad did business at first. There are not really fake people in Russia walking around demanding respect and staring everybody down on the street acting like they are "gangstas."

^the three people i know who have been shot (not just shot at) all died too, forgot to mention that.

And no, i am not a criminal, and i am not in Moscow (why would you think i was in Moscow? Nothing i've ever written has so much as suggested it, not to mention my location says: San Francisco). Also, what does rap have to do with this?

That logic is a little flawed though, just because nothing happened to you in Brownsville but something happened in Watts doesn't mean Watts is worse. I'm not saying either is worse because I've never lived in either (living there is different from visiting) so I don't know.
