It's nice if you like to live in a city that has had 20 murders in less than 2 months with a population under 79,000 people. This question has to be a joke(I HOPE).

But hey! They have a new stadium and other cool stuff.
Camden is not a town most people would not want to live/work/shop or even associate themselves with.
Usually in the top 3 towns in the US for stolen cars.
Although "Most people would not want to live/work/shop or even associate themselves with [it]" and "top 3 towns in the US for stolen cars" go oddly together. Just what is being stolen? Dodge Gremlins? Pintos? If there are cars around worth stealing, there must be the kind of folks around who can afford those cars, and who could choose to live/work/shop/associate elsewhere if they wanted.

i believe the nice cars are being stolen from the business people who drive through camden every day to get to work in philadelphia...just thought i would throw that out there
It keeps ranking the nations poorest city as 9,000 per capita income. It has a nice history, it use to be popping, now it's pop-in. East camden is mostly peurto rican, this area isn't as bad as the rest of camden. But once you're driving and you cross the town line, the scenery changes. Many abandoned homes the trashiest you've seen. It has an industrial area near the river, home of cambells soup. In town there's new development by the state to boost camden economy and there's a couple neighborhoods being built. Many potholes. There's the tweeter center where bands come to perform. But outside camden has nice big old homes and it's expensive to live there.
if you are puertorican/black you'll be fine in camden. i lived there for about 3 years. stayed in north and south camden (the worst areas). rent is sooo cheap that is why i was there. you can get a 3 bedroom home w/a mortgage of $400/month. lol. and with a short 20 minute commute to cherry hill, it is perfect. crime is crazy high. my car never got stolen or vandalized. you just have to blend in with the crowd. don't flash what you got, etc.
common street sense
