By looking at this thread, any place that has a substantial population is a bad and scary place. God, I can't even leave my east end Pittsburgh apartment at night because I will bet mugged, killed, or both.
and the majority white towns are so friggen boring and most of the people are arrogant bast****.
hmm thats my perspective
diverse is vital for me
Diversity is dead. Its a crock and we self segregate in this country anyway. I'd rather be bored than dead. Anyway, I'm not bored. Guess its just your perspective. You sound a bit racist also. Nice.
damn just look at the NY Daily news crime section. Most of it is in the same areas.

From worst to least...
Camden, NJ
Baltimore, MD
Irvington, NJ
Philadelphia, PA
Newark, NJ
New York City, NY
Pittsburgh, PA
what do you guys think??
Pittsburgh, dangerous? I'm not sure I agree with that one. I mean any city can be dangerous in certain sections, but overall, Pittsburgh is a safe city. The same with New York City. Statistically, for its size, New York is safe.
My list would include:
Camden, NJ
Reading, PA
Harrisburg, PA
Philadelphia
Newark, NJ
Paterson, NJ
Baltimore
Washington, DC
Youngstown, OH (I'll consider it Northeastern since its right near the PA border)
Bridgeport, CT
Scranton. Since the dawn of summer we've had a brutal triple homicide that claimed the life of one of my former friends, an elderly man who died after his throat was slit at random while walking in broad daylight on a downtown street, a home invasion in which an armed victim fought off his assailants with his own gun, muggings of university students, an M80 thrown through the window of a jewelry store, etc. 2008 has been Scranton's most violent year in quite some time.
Scranton is still Mayberry next to most cities. The problem is that we're so used to next to no crime, that a little outbreak of crime has people thinking this is Detroit or Camden or something. Not even close. Like a previous poster said, the fact that we here in Scranton can remember and name all of the individual violent crimes means that this is nowhere close to a dangerous city. I'm sure people in Camden couldn't remember all of the crimes that happened that day, nevermind the whole year.

I think I read something that said that about 80% or so of the people in the NY State Department of Corrections as prisoners come from 7 neighbrohoods in NYC. I'll have to find out where I saw that.
