That video makes a lot of the areas I considered rough look like Magic Kingdom. That is pretty bad...

Dallas' ghetto looks pretty compared to Detroit's ghetto area.

Detroit can blow any ghetto out of the water, plain and simple. The only thing that gives Detroit a run for its money is nearby Hamtramck, another heavily bashed city. Also, when you say 'ghetto area', I hate correcting people, but the ENTIRE CITY looks like that. There's no concentrated ghetto in Detroit, it's spread out everywhere.

Dallas' ghetto area is in one part of the city.

WOW! The whole city looks ghetto, I didn't know that.

Even Detroit's once upper-middle class neighborhoods are ghetto.

I'm sorry if I'm breaking the rules by self-promoting, but if you want to see a TRUE ghetto, check out my posts on Hamtramck on the "Most ghetto visually..." thread.

Houston without a doubt is bashed left and right. I've heard so many inaccurate ignorant statements that people make on here. I think alot of people that make these statements have never been there and if they have then they probably didn't get off the freeway to see how Houston really is.
