Yeah, Mattapan, Roxbury, Dorcester, all pretty nice.
They look OK but you can still see signs of the hood... in the 1st link there's bars on the windows on the ground floor of that brick apartment building and that white house. You also see some obvious signs of property neglect.

There's signs here and there. But overall the housing stock looks clean and refurbished and livable.

True, but that can also be said of a lot of hood areas in a lot of cities... A lot of South Side Chicago looks positively suburban. Looks are not always a good indicator of the reality.

Yeah, but they're still good-looking ghettos which is the premise of this thread. High-crime, but still look livable.
...and the avenue is appropriately called Prairie Avenue....
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.
Little Havana is something like 95% Hispanic.
canarsie and brownsville look nothing alike. Also i wouldnt call those people living in those brownsville rowhouses middle class(just saying). Canaries on the other hand is middle class everywhere except those 2 housing projects.
Also as bad as brownsville is their isnt alot of crime where those row houses are. Those row housing blocks in brownsville are pretty quite.
btw canarsie resembles flatlands, and parts of east flatbush.
Now THAT looks like a bad neighborhood (they have those here in Cleveland AND Chicago, btw).
Honestly, when I looked at that first photograph from Camden, I was angry that any place in America should look like that. But on second look, and if you move backwards a little, I mean, there's this little girl chillin on her front steps with her laptop, guys looking out their front doors, and for some reason it doesn't look so bad the more you look at it. Empty streets are always eerier than full ones. Oh and gotta love Whitey fixing up the utilities haha

I said they don't look too different. I never said they looked exactly the same.
And Flatlands & East Flatbush have more detached homes like these IIRC (yes, I see the attached ones behind the picture).

it depends where you are. east flatbush in the 50,s and 90,s have the exact attached row houses youll find in canarsie. the other side of east flatbush which is close to flatbush is where you find most of the detached homes.
might i add the northern section of the 90s shares its comparison to brownsville and crown heights which it boarders with the double attached row buildings.
fort lauderdale is more jamaican then Haitian correct?? i hear haitian is the second largest group but i also hear jamaicans is the largest group and theirs all types of english speaking caribbean folks as well.
Yeah my mom's God mother lives in Ft. Lauderdale and she Jamaican its nice over there

yea all my family lives mainly in west palm beach which 1 or 2 cities up north away from ft lauderdale.
The whole south florida is nice my dude. I could really see myself living down their, or at least having a crib in new york and miami like most new yorkers do lol.
But i believe ft lauderdale and carol city are some of the few neighborhoods that jamaicans have higher numbers then haitians.
