The may be a violent presence down in Little Haiti but I have not heard anything at all about them anywhere else.
ive seen them in the Bahamas, all through out fl, in new Orleans, and some other southern cities. if you dont want to classify as national, then classify them as multiple city gang.
I'd say in terms of crime and poverty for FULL states, CA, FL, TX, and MI, take the cake EASILY. For cities, NO, CAMDEN, Belle Glade FL, Pahokee FL, Parts of Chicago, Detroit, Southeast DC, ALOT of cities in Southern NM, ALOT of cities in Southern AZ, Parts of rural CA, ALOT of areas of South TX. Basically ALL border towns and border states. Oh yeah, and ALOT of areas of the RURAL South.
So what's left that's NOT on this list of hellholes?? Duluth , Minnesota? Ooops sorry, that's in a border state too.
It's the same like that in Houston. We had one dude from NYC come here trying to act hard and talk down on Texas, he got straight clowned and beat. Dropped out of school and never saw him again. That whole "Southern women love New Yorkers" is BS. Southern women hate that whole tough im better than you act and will hurt your feelings quick if you approach them with that stuff.
Another dude from Philly started selling drugs around campus (Texas Southern) and decided to expand out the campus and ended up getting beat and robbed. They told him that if they ever saw him around Houston again, he was dead.
Trust me, when fools from the NE come around here; They are literally shocked and amazed by how easy and cheap drugs are to get around here. The smell of weed is very strong in lots of parts in Houston; hell you can find bags of weed all over the place. People think drugs and crack is bad in the NE; It is insane in the south.
Heck yeah. I've seen it many times myself of "tough" talkin New Yorkers coming down here and trying to regulate things. It NEVER works, they just end up getting the crap beat out of them OR dead. Just be yourself. Why must they feel the need to downplay everyone else, and ACT tough. Just putting on a front. We see right through them. No one is scared of New York OR New Yorkers. That whole 1980's, murder capital, crack cocaine, crime, hysteria associted with NYC, is no longer effective anymore. The ONLY people scared of New Yorkers ARE New Yorkers. I've seen this in when I lived in FL, I've seen it when I lived in TX, and I see it NOW more then EVER, now that I live in NC. There "horror" stories scare no one. Crime and poverty happens EVERYWHERE.
Worst that I've seen would be, in descending order:
-Parts of North Philadelphia (easily wins out on the amount of decay and abandoned buildings)
-parts of West Oakland
-parts of Hunters Point, San Francisco (especially the projects and old abandoned industrial/navy crap)
-Sunnydale Projects, San Francisco
-parts of East Oakland
-Some sketchy neighborhood in Vallejo, though I'm not sure which one it was
-parts of North Oakland
-Potrero Hill Projects, San Francisco
-The area around the Army Street Projects in the Mission in SF
-Fillmore Projects, San Francisco (uptown specifically, for anyone who knows what I'm talking about)
-Some projects in LA. The name escapes me, but my memory tells me it was across a freeway and just east of Downtown, on a hill.
Some of these areas are much nicer than they used to be, but they're ranked on when i saw them at their worst.
Yeah Richmond is a war zone right now, there were 2 more murders last night bringing the total to 36 on the year I believe. Irons Triangle and North Richmond are flat-out awful. Most dangerous place in California that is 4sure.
