not going to speak on half these "dangerous" ghettos because i have not been to them and i live by the theroie that every ghetto is the same.

these ghettos are worse then other ghettos or better then other ghettos not because the people are more tougher but because of the state that the city is in with its politicians.

its not a coincidence that the two of the best police forces in the nation the LAPD AND NYPD patrol two cities with some of the best crime decreases seen in the nation

now to answer the OP question hmmmmm the worst crime ridden ghetto ive been to are 2 precincts in my city the 73rd aka brownsville, and 75th aka east new york which are both in brooklyn.

the only ghettos ive been to are the ones in boston, conneticut, philadelphia, baltimore, and new jersey

every ghetto i was in from nyc - jersey - philly felt very similar.

Baltimore look like it was more of a hot zone but thats only because the clubs closed at 2 am so their eas pretty much thugs all out on the streets.

Ive also been to the ghettos in southern florida they look different and the people look different then east coast ghettos but it had the same vibrancy to me.

Basically,

This = This (Housing projects)

This = This (Tenement buildings)

This = This (Residential part of the "hood")

Well, not exactly, but you get the point.

For me it was Puerto Rico.

As violent Puerto Rican drug trade seeps into mainland US, Washington must act - CSMonitor.com

San Jose, Costa Rica. The rest of the country is great, but the capital was scary.

I would feel way more safe in the NY ghettos just because they look more clean.
