I have not been in Minn but I have traveled quite a bit and lived in Pittsburgh the majority of my life. Pittsburgh's Hill district has had a bad rep for years but the last 5 or so years it has been pretty calm. That was due to the tearing down a few troubled spots and rebuilding with new homes.
Calm? Really? The Hill still averages about 7 or 8 murders a year -- this in a neighborhood with a population of about 11,000 people. Right on schedule, there's been 3 this year, plus another in Polish Hill but literally 25 feet from the Hill.
Are you serious? You are full of yourself bro. You need to stop listening to rap and taking it so seriously. So in reference to the bold, you are saying that you shot some gangsters from DC/NYC that came into Cleveland and tried to take over your turf? Get real bruh, if you was a thug you wouldn't be talking a bunch of bull hockey about hood this, hood that on the internet, you would be on the streets hustling.........internet gangsta ish.......
the berg used to be terrible but a lot of those ghettos are being gentrified or simply vacated. if anything, criminals are moving away from there, just like most of their younger population. pittsburgh used to be the worst, but minneapolis is on the rise for violent crime again. the murder rate (per 100,000) is high enough in some of those neighborhoods to be compared to some of the worst neighborhoods in the country, for example, i believe the hawthorne neighborhood has a murder rate that rivals bad neighborhoods in detroit, chicago, memphis, birmingham, etc. ... conclusion is pittsburgh USED TO BE the WORST, now murderapolis is worse. real bad in some neighborhoods there, and to add for the final arguement, many immigrants (vietnamese, somali and latino) go to minneapolis for some reason, the immigrants are usually poor and unskilled for many american jobs and the poverty (added to not fitting into american society easily) results in crime.
Minneapolis has a murder rate twice as high as NYC, and 3-4 as high as any city in Canada. NYTimes didn't nickname it "Murderapolis" for nothing.
back in 1995 minneapolis had a murder rate of 27 murders per 100,000 and the following year was around the same. that is how minneapolis got the name murderapolis which is just a stupid name anyway. 27 murders per 100,000 is not bad.

there are many cities that have well over 30, 40 and 50 murders per 100,000. washington dc, baltimore, gary, st. louis, cleveland, oakland, new orleans.

27 murders per 100,000 is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. That's about 5 times the national rate for the United States. That's a rate on par with violent third-world countries:
juarez mexico 130 murders per 100,000 people, 2009.
