Most of those pictures are from the 70's and 80's yeah. I believe 1 or 2 of them is fairly recent like 90's to 00's. But yeah, BX doesn't really look like that anymore, they did a good job cleaning it up.
It was insane back then man. A lot of people that lived there didn't even care that it looked like that, they were just worried about the next drug they would come upon.
^Not anymore though... apparently London is more murderous than NY now thanks to all the knife crime and muggings gone south... rofl
lol what Londons 120 murders with 3+ million people?
my county miami dade population 2.4 million has over 230 a year with a rate of 10 per100k and some cities and areas reach the 20-80 per 100k
Miami beach has a rate of 18per 100k and the city of Miami around 15-20 varies per year, hopefully it stays down, make the city safer, all the poor thugs are moving to the suburbs
Yeah the Bronx was no joke. Those vacant areas were home to gangs who controlled abandoned buildings, junkies looking for their fix, prostitutes trying to make some money, and drug dealers who would provide the residents. With such a small population, and the insane amount of criminal activity, the crime rates in those areas where off the charts. No sane person had any reason to pass through vacant areas, their life would have seriously been in danger.
And I nominate Bridgeport, CT. Was there during the last weekend....many boarded up homes, vacant lots, and graffiti.
