1) How am I wrong if you conceded a lot of homes in dc have bars on windows, which is what I elluded to
2) Find in writing where I say that 25% of the city does not have bars.
3) Dont even try tell me about nw dc or dc for that matter. My mother grew up on 16th and upshure(white house on the right corner google map it) in black upper class crestwood(nw), and my dad grew up in ne. My grandfather had a homeless shelter named after him there and he was in charge of arlington national cemetary as his last command.
Sorry but you just are not hip to the scene of DC "go getta"
You said, excluding NW and capital hill which and told me to check out the other 3/4's of the city. You elluded that everywhere else in DC has bars on its windows when that is certainly not the case.
I have never seen anything approach some of the streets in Camden, NJ. Those streets like what you would expect some bombed-out remnants of a city to look like after a nuclear holocaust.

It just saddens me to see not a neighborhood like it but a whole city... Makes you wonder where your tax money goes really, obviously not to renovate city structures and buildings.
Looks like any other inner city area I've been too.. Florida rural/ghetto areas just have a creepy vibe to me that can't be described in a video, but rather in person. It's just odd.. like inbreeding, trailers, trash, eerie, etc.
Yeah the rural areas of Florida that have ghetto's are pretty weird, but the inner-city ghetto's are pretty much like any other city.
I recently read a story in sports illustrated on "muck city". Apparently alot of highly recruited football players come out of Pahokee and Belle Glade. The area is very run down and ghetto though
Santonio Holmes a wide reciever for the Pittsburgh Steelers is from Belle Glade
I'm from South Florida, and I agree, that South Florida and Los Angeles have the MOST similar looking ghettos in the nation. It's uncanny.
I agree as well. Look at an area like Hialeah and then look at an area like East LA they look like twins.
