On the east coast DC and NY are rivals, mainly because so many of the NYers are loud obnoxious and are constantly seeking attention.
But go to a college in the midwest and the whole east coast more or less sticks together because the bammaz from Chi and Detroit/Cleveland seem to hold a grudge against the east coast people.
I didn't even see that before my post but I went to college in the midwest and people HATED these trash talking NYCers. I only say NYC because those were the only people from the EC that I knew. And the reason we hold a grudge? The kids at my school came from Chicago, St. Louis, and the region (East Chicago, Gary, basically NW Indiana), places where it is far more dangerous than NYC. Yet the New Yoikers though they were harder and better from everyone else.
I must be missing something who acts all hard and can't back it up, that's not no typical NYCer either?
Don't believe that safe city hype either.
That was a funny story btw .
Why do you consider it to be hype? I had 2 friends move to NYC from Chicago. One lived across the street from some housing projects. They both said NYC looked worse but did not compare in crime. Neither had any trouble, however one was jumped before he left in one of Chicago's safest neighborhoods.

There's projects in good neighborhoods too and not even every projects is bad even Queensbridge ain't even bad, just because nothing happened to them doesn't mean it won't happen to somebody else. Most of the city's crime is concentrated in small areas too, I bet most of the people I know don't even know its considered the safest big city.
I'll say pockets in the rural South. I've been through some bad parts of Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis, and when I look around I feel sad because there was a point when what's pure hood now was a nice middle class or working class neighborhood. It might have been a long time ago and for not a long period of time, but even the worst modern public housing projects had a window of time when they were reasonably good places to live. (If only post-WW2 urban planners hadn't learned the lessons from the NY tennements that when you stack large homogenous populations of poor people on top of each other, it all goes down hill after a few years, but I digress.)
But go into some of the small towns in the Deep South, and there's a sense that they were never good places to live. The legal definitions changed, but the plantation system just chugged along for another hundred years, and the majority of the sharecroppers were never ever going to be able to afford the nice Sears kit home that the working class family in East St. Louis in the 1920s managed to scrape together their dollars to buy.
it is, zoe pound is a national gang. and you can only join by having Haitian heritage.
How do you figure they are national?
The may be a violent presence down in Little Haiti but I have not heard anything at all about them anywhere else.
