talking about the projects, I always wondered why on google street view projects never look as bad as they are in reality I mean on google pics you rarely see groups of people in front of the buildings, or on the benches, no thugs wandering on corners etc actually if I only based on google maps I wouldn't even mind going to brownsville in the middle of the summer but I guess reality is far from those pics...
The Google StreetView guys probably pick certain days and certain times to do certain neighborhoods. So they might do an area like Brownsville at 8AM (when you have adults going to work and kids going to school, so nobody's really hanging around yet) during the winter, vs. PM in the summer. Then at 8PM in the summer, they're out in a safer neighborhood.
I remember in another thread, somebody posted a picture of South Jamaica, and somebody commented that the way the sun was setting made it look as if the guy was trying to get out of there ASAP. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.

thanks for the reply, yes actually some pics in places like south side chicago or camden also look like they tried to get out of the neighborhood the fastest they could ^^
ahh i dont even know a whole lot of bk/brooklyn/manhattan ones, im from queens, southside jamaica, and yea i think those are worse then the far rock ones..2 shootings in 1 day in pomonok, id say its pretty bad.
Electchester is a decent area across from pomonok, mostly a mixed area.(black,white,latino). No shootings there, just robberies, break in- little petty stuff. Compared to pomonok
Manhattan-not that sure i think its Harlem River Houses
Staten Island-Stapleton
Long Island-Queensbridge
Marcy is worse than projects in Brownsvile?
Assuming you meant Long Island City, I'm not surprised Queensbridge is the worst project in Long Island City. Probably the best one, too.

I think you forgot to type the word "City" after "Island"
