Haha I thought the same thing. That's the nicest ghetto I've ever seen!

Visually from what I've seen (not in person) I would have to say Detroit, West Chicago, North Philly, Baltimore, Camden and Watts. Up close in person for me its Richmond, CA and Sunnydale/HP in SF.

I think you need to get a better example. It just looks like an average, not particularly wealthy lower middle class neighborhood from that vantage point.

Where are the ghettos in NYC?

I thought Harlem was supposed to be a ghetto? I had such a bad image in my head before I went. With the exception of a few blocks it was generally a good looking "ghetto" from what I saw from a tour. It looked much better and felt more safe than areas in Watts, Compton, Skid Row, Pico, etc.

Southeast San Diego isn't that bad. I have a cousin from around there, and it just looked like a working class neighborhood with Filipinos, Mexicans, and Blacks everywhere. It does have a higher than average crime rate than the city of San Diego, but most cities have a higher crime rate than the city of San Diego. However, I still wouldn't want to live there.

In person, I would say the projects of the South Bronx and Co-Op City aren't very visually appealing. West Coast ghettos aren't really big on the project houses, since Section 8 gives everyone houses in poor neighborhoods to begin with. However, since East Coast cities are considerably more dense with less land to work with, projects have been the way to go.

The difference between a project and a ghetto; "At least most people in the ghetto work" Project homes, forget it.
