Atlants bad neighborhoods look nothing like that, and nearly all are far less dense.

Holy Crap!!! how do people put up with that? where are their city officials? Milwaukee doesn't have one area that looks even close to that.

Show me one place is metro atlanta that looks even comparable to that in any way. Ive been to the hoods in Atlanta and most of them are low density and even suburban looking.

Yeah that looks like ****. The only area that's remotely comparable to that (in terms of looks) in my neck of the woods are parts of West Oakland, Chinatown and Deep East Oakland... even then its not as extreme as that.


This is an extreme example for Oakland... anything worse than this is an anomaly.

This is a more typical level of dilapidation for the ghetto in Oakland:

Fortunately, the vast majority of the city looks much better than this.

My vote goes to Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore takes being ghetto and dangerous to another level. You could write a book on it. Look at the ridiculous crime rates in the notorious Park Heights in Baltimore. You are nearly 9 times more likely to be murdered in Park Heights than in a neighborhood with a crime rate that matches the national average and you are over 7 times more likely to be robbed.

i agree. All though oakland has a bit of a high crime rate it is still a livable city to live in. I rather live their then SF.

San Francisco is certainly not a ghetto city as a whole. But you'd be surprised that certain ghetto hoods in SF are actually more statistically dangerous than the hoods in much more infamous cities. For example, believe it or not, the general crime risk index in my old neighborhood in Lakeview in SF is actually higher than the infamous Anacostia in Southeast DC.

Washington Anacostia Demographics - Neighborhood Demographics

Yes, you are more likely to be murdered or robbed in Anacostia compared to Lakeview in SF. But the rape, burglary and larceny rates in Anacostia are below the national crime index average. The crime risk index in Lakeview SF is above the national average in every category except burglary. The total crime risk index for Anacostia is 123 while Lakeview SF is 166.

Lakeview is also far from being the highest crime neighborhood in SF in recent years as well. Hunter's Point, Potrero Hill and the Tenderloin have much higher crime rates and are much more blighted as well. The total crime risk index in Portrero Hill is 199 and has an above average crime rate in every category:

Many of the projects in SF are much more dilapidated and unlivable than anything in the entire Bay Area. I've posted this street view of the projects in Portrero Hill in previous posts in previous threads. As you can see, these are obviously some of the most run-down projects on the West Coast and the entire country. Keep in mind these buildings aren't hundreds of years old like rowhomes in Baltimore. These buildings are also not exposed to extreme weather like snow and drops in temperature like East Coast ghettos. Also, these were barracks built specifically only temporarily house poor factory workers during World War II. Unlike many ghetto hoods in cities like Detroit, Cleveland and Compton, upper middle class White people obviously never used to live in these buildings. Also, unlike most boarded up buildings that are abandoned and uninhabited in other ghettos in other cities, poor people actually still live in these boarded up projects:
