Hamtramck has a low violent crime rate, yet petty crimes (shoplifting, graffiti, etc.) and property crimes are high for a small town.

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.










west coasts has alot of projects man

ROFL! That is not ghetto! Give me a break! No where in San Diego is nearly as bad as parts of LA, Oakland, Detroit, St Louis, and many other cities. San Diego "ghettos" are just run down lower class homes. These people have yards with lawns and decent houses for christ sake. Take a look at the Bronx and the cities above, then tell me what's ghetto.

That being said, Oakland does look real ghetto in areas, the key words being in areas. Oakland as a whole is not a ghetto city... for that refer to Richmond.


While we're still talking about Oakland, tho, here's a couple pics of east oakland I took:

^*gasp* white people who live in east oakland!

All of these pictures are on the same street (14th ave). Oakland has a lot of diverse residential architecture, and a lot that people don't typically associate with California.
