If you seriously think Camden is similar to "most neighborhoods" in Philadelphia, then you need a serious reality check.

According to Rocky, Camden would be South Philly . . .

"You know where southpaw comes from? I'll tell ya. A long time ago there was this guy, maybe a couple a hundred years ago, he was fighting around, I think it was around Philadelphia, and his arm -- he was left-handed -- and his arm was facing toward New Jersey, you see? And that's south. So then naturally they call him south paw. You see? South paw, south Jersey, South Camden, south paw. You know what I mean?"

Fun fact: there's a West New York, New Jersey

So yeah, Camden could be East Philly. Maybe some day developers will try to rebrand Camden as "East Philly"

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

There is no East Philly.

Don't let any of the other posters try to punk you into believing otherwise.

lol. I think everyone on here knows that there isn't an actual East Philly. Coming from Alaska, I'm surprise you would even care.
