I think the Bronx IS getting better.. but not in a dramatic fashion. There are just very small and minute changes that will hopefully someday add up to a better area for all.

Wow! Really? I mean i thought that with 3 shootings in Manhattan because from viewing the news map like everyday you just don't see that its rare if there is one shooting, but I guess it isn't the Utopian place people make it to be.
I just find all this interesting because im coming to NYC for John Jay School of criminal justice.

lol, Manhattan has good and bad neighborhoods just like every place else. Seeing shootings in Harlem or Washington Heights wouldn't be a surprising thing.
