how would you compare to two?

for instance Miami Gardens sort of has a Lauderhillish feel with its massive Jamaican presense but with all the high school shootings in miami gardens you cant really compare lauderhill to that...

of course miami is much worse, considering the most dangerous ghettos in fort lauderdale arent even on the level of risk as say Carol City.. which is not the worse of Dade by far..
are we talking fort lauderdale (the city) or broward (the county)? Because in my opinion NOTHING and I mean NOTHING Miami has can compare to the absolutely heinous and disgusting crimes come out of pompano. Like the one where the guys rapped the mother and then made the mother perform sexual acts on the son. Or the degenerate nature of downtown Hollywood where they had some guy attempt on two separate occasions to snatch little girls. Then the one where that model was burned to a crisp and found in a dumpster. Or when I was downtown hollywood and saw some guy with his private part in his hand and was shaking it all over the place and at the same time urinating (some had to have gotten on him). Or the girl who killed the other little girl because her sexual advances were rejected (dillard high). I can deal with socio-economic crime. Those make sense to me and as long as you keep your nose clean they generally don't bother you so much. But degenerate crimes to me are scary because you could easily become a victim of some degenerate savages.

Thanks

Then you should get a hotel in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Miami is not close to Sawgrass.

She could take the subway all the way to Aventura, then take the B line all the way to Sawgrass.

^ That would be a nice thing to hear if they ever decided to work on the Metrorail again.

what we do have is flags but not in the traditional sense of being a gang. let's say you are from brownsville, which is a subdivision in liberty city, you will wear a brown flag to represent your area. liberty city and opa locka both wear black, and overtown wears green.

the word goon originated in miami-dade county as well so i can't see how you are calling people in broward "goons."

really, all i see on this forum (especially from lauderdale81ave and browardboi954) is people trying to make their area look like some tough stuff when that's not really the way to go. liberty city has a reputation that it doesn't deserve since really if you mind your business and don't start trouble with people you will be alright.

if you are going to try and be "real" then be real about it and don't spread no bull. broward's ghettos are no where on par with dades, point blank period, ask somebody about it.
A better question is why someone would think a worse ghetto somehow = better. Any ghetto is disgusting. And they tend to attract the worst kinds of people. And if someone thinks they're area is better than the next because its crimerate is higher, of you will get robbed just for walking to your car at night...They are either crazy or a 14 year old.
