(my first post, i felt compelled to after reading through this thread)
*Moral of the post - All cities have their rough spots, but if our roughest neighborhood went to war with your roughest neighborhood; Philly would win all day/night.
I dont know about Philly neighborhoods winning wars over here but talking about states of emergency, DC police back in like 08 had to set up illegal checkpoints to curb the violence in the Trinidad neighborhood in NE. Police had the streets blocked off and didnt let any1 in unless you had a legitimate reason for being there. The courts eventually ruled it was unconstitutional and illegal.
Most people know Philly has some very rough parts and a high crime rate. And you're the main person I see around here talking **** about other places.
Actually no, the only people who are talking sh*t and bragging are you Cali boosters. You put "your" bad neighborhoods up in the spotlight and use them to pretend you're "hood" or tough. Me, I spent my post on this thread talking about how we can help Chester.
That's because unlike you, I'm not from some nice area or from the suburbs so I actually care about people who have problems and I actually respect boundaries.
Go run along now, junior.

Don't ever compare a formerly industrial city of less than 5 square miles to the capital of the US, which has always been a desirable city.
We also had Darby declare a state of emergency twice, once in 2009 and again just this past summer. Places in Philadelphia probably don't declare states of emergency but I guarantee you that you would find them to be plenty dangerous and intimidating.
I can't stand people who try to brag about bad areas. You force us to have to remind you of how it really is. Don't get me wrong, DC has some bad parts for sure but don't ever compare it to a place like Chester where there isn't a single upscale part and hasn't been for decades.
Right now, other than "other", LA's Compton is leading, followed by East Saint Louis. I think Compton's rep is changing and isn't as bad as it has been. East Saint Louis is truly mired in a bad situation and sits alone across the river from St. Louis's CBD (the arch, no less) and in another state, with few surrounding towns to bolster it.
