**** in L.A. county jail it whites and mexicans against blacks, and they put blacks and mexicans in a 200 man dorm knowing they can't get along but they put asians in their own dorm and they don't get alone wit mexicans either, this city really really dislike *****s theres now way more mexicans here than blacks, out of a million people 700,000 are mexicans in L.A. in jail it's 1 black for every 6 mexicans
This comparison is really silly. Three totally different places.
Harlem is a mid-sized Manhattan neighborhood that has been VERY heavily gentrified. They are multi-million dollar homes and apartments.
South Central is a HUGE area that's maybe 10-15 times the size of Harlem. It has no gentrification whatsoever, and no million-dollar areas. It also isn't a core neighborhood like Harlem. South Central is basically suburban compared to Harlem.
Cabrini Green is just a housing project. It isn't even a neighborhood. And half of Cabrini Green is demolished. The remaining low-rise part consists of these two-floor suburban-style townhomes.
If you are saying "Which neighborhood is tougher", well, Cabrini Green isn't a neighborhood, and Harlem isn't dangerous nowadays.
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

Though I think there are many, many more projects across this country that are as bad or worse than some of those. Magnolia & Desire in New Orleans; Sunnydale, West Point & Harbor in SF; the 6-9 Ville & 8-5 Ville in Oakland; Easter Hill in Richmond, CA.....I'm sure there are plenty of really bad ones in Detroit, Philly, Newark, elsewhere in Chicago, etc....
I've been to South Central and Cabrini Green, and Cabrini Green was by far more dangerous. However, I went to a pretty quiet part of South Central, and Cabrini Green is completely dangerous from one end to the other, but the area is quite small compared to South Central. This isn't an apples to apples comparison, but to answer the question: Cabrini Green (before demolition) was much more dangerous on average -- which doesn't mean a ton.
Nothing in NYC is dangerous anymore like that, most them cats are fake gangstas.
Chicago and LA started that gang stuff NYC just hopped on it, and most of them don't even follow code. Thats why the west coast bloods and crips stay leanin on them.
If you wan't anything close to dangerous in NYC then your best bet would be the projects in Brownsville and East New York in Brooklyn and the most of the Bronx.

you have no clue about what your talking about and i bet you have never been to nyc.
also to the person who said queensbridge as one of nyc tuffer pjs got it all wrong lol.
Their are way more projects in nyc that are more dangerous then queensbridge. The projects in south jamaica, and far rockaway queens are more worse then queensbridge. Speaking of queensbridge their was a shooting their today.

Whats your point really??
first of all your first sentence made no sense because l.a is about to have less then 300 murders this year compared to having over 1,000 in 1992 and it will have a similar homicide rate as nyc in 2010. Chicago also will have around 430 murders this year compared to over 900 in 1990. so i dont understand how only nyc doesn't have anything dangerous anymore
also you clearly know nothing about nyc, or west coast gang culture.
first of all bloods and crips barely are seen in nyc anymore the culture is fading very rapidly.
secondly us new yorkers dont care what west coast thinks because over 40 us states have bloods and crips so if west coast "leans" on us it just shows us how much they envy us. Also you can call ny,ers hoppers but at the end of the day the so called fake bloods of nyc have spreadthrough out the other east coast, mid atlantic, upper northeast, and down south regions of america.
so something must be wrong if the fake bloods of nyc can spread out of nyc and open shop in other cities if we are really as fake as you say we are.
Lol @ jordan, u leaned on shadow's post twice....lls
