Most big cities are liberal. Detroit? New Orleans? NY? Chicago? LA?

We get it, you love Obama and you wish Nancy Pelosi was your mom, but there's no message there.

Yes really. In Ohio, Cleveland area to be exact. Thats a surprise to you?

A ghetto is a ghetto but some are better or worse than others. Were talking about the city as a whole here, not small neighborhoods. Im not ignorant about it, I am more than aware that San Francisco has ghettos but as far as the city as a whole, San Francisco is one of the nicest large cities in the country.

Some examples of "ghetto" cities are Detroit and Cleveland. Both those cities ghetto areas take up a larger land area than the entire city of San Francisco. I was born in the "ghetto" in Cleveland, I grew up in ghettos, Ive been to ghettos across the Eastcoast and Midwest, places like Camden, North Philly, Detroit, East Cleveland, South/West Chicago. I try to not talk about cities I havent been to, but based on what I know, Im willing to make an exception here with saying Im more than positive that San Francisco is not a ghetto city, nor would its ghettos be worse than some Ive seen or lived in myself.

6. Minneapolis
7. Boston
8. Honolulu
9. Denver
10. Austin
Salt Lake City is not a large city but rather a small to medium sized city with a large suburban metro area. Anyways regardless of size, there are some pretty ghetto areas in SLC. Scratch it from your list

Ghetto's of San Francisco are just as bad as any other ghetto in the country, you just don't know. Like someone stated before San Fran is small geocraphically. In SF there is the Tenderloin, Fillmore/Western Addition, The Mission, Visatatacion Valley(which is home to Sunnydale housing projects which has been named one of the top 10 most dangerous housing projects in the country in years past), Hunters Point/Bayview( which has a murder rate equal to that or close enough to compton's), Lakeview/Oceanview, Portrero Hill(home of O.j. simpson lol), parts of the excelsior district.

SF has a higher per capita homicide and crime rate than New York. I am not saying San Fran is ghetto as whole, but the city is only 7 by 7 miles so crime is even in the nicer neighborhoods. San Francisco has a very strong "ghetto" culture. Nothing to be proud of, just a fact!

The cities I highlight in bold from your list NorthPoleMarathoner, should be removed. You went downhill after OKC.

Yeah they are questionable, every other city NorthPoleMarathoner posted has a ghetto area; those cities should not be on the list, especially Nashville, Tennesse and OKC.
