Chicago's southside, and gary are simply hellish places, and i honestly do not think there is anything in LA that even comes close. Oakland is probably the only place on the west coast that would even be comparable.
The westside of Chicago is just as bad as the southside.
I also think certain sections of South Central LA, Watts, Compton, etc. are almost as bad as far as murder rate, if not worse.

im from chicago and i'll still say LA is the gang capitol just off of the fact that blood and crips is EVERYWHERE(except in chicago)..
and even thou we usually have more overall homicides than them,the majority of LA homicides is STRICKLY gang related, ours is too, but not as many as LA..

They're are PLENTY of people in LA who would BEG to differ.
To tell you the truth, this might sound weird but I think LA has nice looking hoods. Especially compared to older cities of the midwest or northeast which have neighborhoods that are just straight beat up and look like bombs have went off on em. Maybe I haven't been looking in the right places but I looked at a couple of pictures of Compton and the houses weren't bad at all, most of em had front lawns and driveways etc.
Just as an example, compare this picture of Chicago:

i always thought that in actual video compton would look bad, but in the gang nation episode when they showed compton , compton look like a nice area you would see comparing it to the east coast hoods. i aint saying compton is sweet but the neighborhoods in compton look very sweet lol.

Lol I know what you mean, nice sidewalks, single family houses, palm trees, driveways, front lawns etc.
Another picture of LA, this one taken from the movie "Boyz N The Hood", very good movie, but still look @ those houses, not too shabby for being "the hood".
i would never take dudes with hairstyles like that serious which is why most la gangsta movies to me are scary but at the same time funny as hell.
menace to society lol
