If this looks ghetto to you:

Then you don't know what a ghetto is.
To me it just looks like a typical blue collar CA neighborhood with no yards, power lines everywhere and houses on top of each other. It could be nice or it could be not so nice, it's hard to tell from a picture. I guess I just have a much different opinion of what a "nice" neighborhood looks like.

I've never met a good person from a religious background.

Nothing like extreme ignorance and intolerance to round off a great thread about racism.

Yes, its an urban neighborhood. That's what happens when you live in a city. Using this logic there are only 2 neighborhoods in all of San Francisco that are nice. We both know that this isn't true.



and psst. I see plenty of yards less than 2 blocks up the street. lol

Please never use the terms San Francisco and Logic in the same sentence together again, thanks. Now what's your point? I'm not following your rant here...

If you think that a nice neighborhood has to have yards, little density and no powerlines for it to be nice then you've probably never lived in a city.

Maybe you just need to move and find some decent people to surround yourself with.

I don't think that's what he's saying. He's just saying the picture was a little bad. You can see part of one house and the Mormon Temple in the back. The Google street view shows me that the houses are relatively nice while the cars indicate more of a working class lifestyle.
