And I nominate Bridgeport, CT. Was there during the last weekend....many boarded up homes, vacant lots, and graffiti.

Fixed.
London being more murderous than NYC is pretty laughable imo. And murder is no laughing matter, I'm not crime boasting.

I completely agree.

This is true, but why are you jumping on him for mentioning the Bronx? He's just speaking his mind.

NYC was pretty crazy from the 70s all the way through the 90s. Not the entire city, but a large portion of it.
I have family in the Bronx and traveled through there in the late 80s and early 90s...it was still really bad at that time, crime off the charts, and the decay in the area was still bad although in the transition phase by that time.
I can't speak personally for the 70s and earlier as I was born in 1980, but from what I have heard it was really bad as well. I've been going back to NYC just about every other year since then and in recent years it looks completely different, almost completely fixed up although the crime and poverty is still very high.

K.O.N.Y is my biggest fan. He's blocked though so I can't see what he writes. Probably talking about zoos and yankee stadium and how the Bronx is the greatest place on earth. He's the biggest idiot I've ever come across. He cant hop off these nuts either.
guzzle guzzle little man jaja
