Miami's ghetto areas (pictures included) (Hialeah, Miami Beach: insurance, buy, transportation)

[merillo5]

Thanks for the pics. On a scale 1-10 I would rank it a 5 compared to Staten Island New Yorks worst neighborhoods. My sons HS actually had bullett holes in windows of the doors in the hallways.

Lets please stay on the topic: Miami's Ghetto Areas

[matchpoint]

Based on the pics (and with 10 being worst rating) I put Miami at a 4 compared to Los Angeles and San Diego ghettoes. The worst looking ghettoes I've actually seen are in Fresno and Modesto, California.

Nobody seems to understand that ghettoes, barrios, etc. are racial-spatial arrangements that could be *changed* if all people in a community treated each other with respect. Unfortunately, the more one has money, the more respect one feels entitled to.

I'm not even going to respond too deeply because anyone with even cursory knowledge of social statistics gathering knows that statistics take a long time to be compiled. By the time that information was "fully" compiled and released, Miami Gardens had changed.

Also, in the very same article you proposed, there are concerns over how the information was used, collected and interpreted, so try again.

I get it. You're right, everyone else is wrong, even though I have backed up my claims with actual information and sources while you have not. Try again.

in hialeah there are ghetto areas, like seminolia and mango hill its just that the racist white cubans try to hide it in the local news and press. In my neighborhood here in hialeah they've robbed every house on my block and the other night there was a murder here on my block. The problem is that since in places like liberty city, overtown, opa-locka, and carol city theres more ghetto people and more murders the press usually reports whats going on there and not here in hialeah. In hialeah in the 90's there was a real bad gang problem the worse in miami but the thing is that since it was a latino problem alot of the racist white cubans would try to hide it and they did, but i've talked to alot of cuban kids who grew up in that time and they said that gangs where everywhere here in hialeah, and that they got mugged,jumped, and even shot during those times. Here in Hialeah the police is everywhere so anybody who denys this is a liar, hialeah has the highest house burglary rate, car theft rate, mugging rate, its just that the white cubans try to blame it on the blacks. I got jumped here in hialeah by cubans and i lived in opa locka for only a few months and nothing like that ever happend im not saying that it doesnt but im not going to put all the heat only on opa locka. Here in hialeah there are alot of ghetto cubans that sell drugs because blacks in opa locka have told me themselves they get there stuff from cubans here in hialeah its just like i said before the white cubans that are cool with white people try to blame it the ghetto cuban kids and the blacks.

An unrelated question...something I have always wondered about florida...how come they have NE or SW or something like that on the street names? Why isn't it just 88th street...instead of SW 88th st?

[TNMominFL]

Were your windows up? Or did you get out of the car to take those??? Scary...lol. Yes, Miami has some bad areas, but what major city doesn't...
