i always wondered why baltimore barely has any haitians being that pg and dc have a good amount. when i went to baltimore it looked like it was mainly black american, jamaican, trinidadian, with african immigrants(liberian/nigerian) in the mix. i hear the baltimore suburbs have more haitians then the actual city though.
Probably the same reason DC has more West Indians than Baltimore in general...
...and the avenue is appropriately called Prairie Avenue....

canarsie isnt free of crime, their are murders and robberies their but the neighborhood is very nice, mostly clean and very suburban looking. Not your average tenement looking area that nyc is stereotyped with.
Also Hollis, and st albans in queens are very 2 nice looking areas that you might see on the news time to time specifically for murders. But nowhere near as bad as south jamaica or far rockaway.
The interesting this is that some parts of Canarsie don't look too different from parts of Brownsville. Brownsville has one of the highest murder rates in the city, whereas Canarsie is more-or-less average.
Also, even South Jamaica has some decent-looking sections.
I'd just like to add in an area on Staten Island called Arlington with a fairly high crime rate that doesn't look bad. Along Holland Avenue a few blocks away, you always hear of reports of shootings, and at South Avenue & Arlington Place, there are a lot of intimidating-looking people hanging out.

The Absolute best Ghetto's all across America I mean the United States of America are upper middle class white neighborhood where suddenly boom bam the Great Mini Depression Hits...now 7 houses have neat manicured lawns and two or three have 4 foot tall brown weeds growing all around the house.
Is the area being filmed actually a hood. Does it have social issues like high crime, low median household income, etc?
Because I know sometimes a lot of people feel a need to "act hood" when they're not actually in a hood (you see that very frequently among people of all ethnicites).
Yeah, Mattapan, Roxbury, Dorcester, all pretty nice.
