Paris has a couple of huge "messed" up sides.They are far from the city's main areas though.The equivalent distance of the suburbs here in the states.They are the worst i have seen anywhere,Even in the states.A friend from their showed me this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mnxSbZT7uc
I'm LOL'ing @ people trying to compare HOUSTON to Paris. Paris has it's rough areas like any other city, but they are very far from the city. You probably know of them from the riots.
Seriously, that first photograph with all the billboards russianoligarch posted of Houston that got some of you fired up was NOT a bad part. It's actually a good representation of how the main roads of Houston (with all the stripmalls, billboards). The Paris pictures with the pretty buildings are actually representative of how the main areas of Paris look.
That Houston picture is on FM 1960 zip code 77090 and here are the demographics of that zip code:
Median Household Income: $43,965
Demographics: 57.7% white, 18% black, 17% Hispanic, 50.6% with some college or bachelors degree.
So posting pictures of a ghetto in Paris is a very very far stretch when the ghettos of Houston haven't even been mentioned or shown.

I honestly doubt you've been to Paris. You've obviously never ventured throughout your own city of Atlanta if you think that video is bad.

If you have an issue with what I said.Simply prove me wrong.Fact is you cannot.So because I said something you and your "peanut gallery" ,did not like about one of the great cities of the world,you decided to attack me personally?Gee are you that imbalanced or delicate?If you would have cared more to read my other post,I never said Paris was bad.So leave your attitude where it belongs..with you.If I stated something that was untrue,then say what it was and move on.I just stated something that people even from Paris don't even realize is in their own backyard. Why would you care to make a judgement about me and where I have been based on one thing I said?Was it not true?Are those places made up?If they are then prove it not to be true instead of your silly defensive remarks.
You do not know where I have been.It should tell you how observant you are to notice that I live in Atlanta but did not notice that I was in The Air Force for 17 years,and could not figure that I probably have been out of Atlanta many times due to the nature of the military.Nor who I know.I can tell you one thing that Atlanta does not have areas where the police will not even go because they are to scared and get no respect.Since you seem to know so much.

That's odd since there are considerably more murders in Atlanta despite the fact that it's 1/4 the size of Paris...

That is totally incorrect. Paris ghettos are way nicer than American ones.
