worst hoods

I mean, even areas like East NY that are a little more spread-out at least have rowhouses, and the few single-family homes look more run-down.

But the thing is that the Terrace Avenue area actually is fairly dense. I mean, [URL="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Hempstead,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.709971,-73.629856&spn=0.007921,0.021136&sll=40.697488,-73.979681&sspn=0.502886,1.352692&oq=hempstead,+ny& hnear=Hempstead,+Nassau,+New+York&t=m&z=16&layer=c &cbll=40.710151,-73.62993&panoid=gzKkcZaN55pEmfpioiGa_w&cbp=12,40,, 0,0"]this[/URL] could probably pass for a street in Brownsville or something. The same for [URL="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Hempstead,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.708946,-73.630543&spn=0.007921,0.021136&sll=40.697488,-73.979681&sspn=0.502886,1.352692&oq=hempstead,+ny& hnear=Hempstead,+Nassau,+New+York&t=m&z=16&layer=c &cbll=40.708983,-73.630292&panoid=ZRrA3e7IjVpeFoJqe5oG3g&cbp=12,35, ,0,0"]this[/URL] and [URL="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Hempstead,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.711484,-73.630929&spn=0.007921,0.021136&sll=40.697488,-73.979681&sspn=0.502886,1.352692&oq=hempstead,+ny& hnear=Hempstead,+Nassau,+New+York&t=m&z=16&layer=c &cbll=40.711517,-73.630797&panoid=Ggre9rMXiSZn9sy3G_AwDA&cbp=12,275 ,,0,0"]this[/URL] (I mean, you do see some people out and about).

I think it's just because it's out in Long Island, and people assume the whole place is like Levittown. Not to mention that, at least on these forums, people on LI are fairly quick to label any minority area bad (or an area with a lot of "day laborers" hanging out), so it's like a "boy who cried wolf" deal.

On a side note, I wonder how areas like Roosevelt & Wyandanch compare against NYC areas. I heard they're actually pretty bad.

Wyandanch is horrible I am currently trying to get my sons out of here now before its to late. On all of long island I feel that Wyandanch got to be the worst of the worst, Bellport is definitely catching up fast and mastic is following close behind. It's most definitely the hood. There is so many killings and so many shootings and no one ever see anything or hear anything my son was shot in front of crowns last year and no one heard or saw anything. smh. The school system sucks it's like there is really no hope here and I can truly say this because i have been here many years.
