After 50 Shots in Harlem, One Dead and 6 Hurt, Including 2 Officers

Look before you leap, folks. Not every part of Harlem has these hot spots but you need to be aware of stuff like this if Harlem is on your list of possibilities. I'd seriously consider Queens, the Bronx or a cheaper nabe in Bklyn before having to deal with this.


Welcome to the Jungle. Geez

Yep, I posted this in the crime thread. It's good you're trying to warn people that Harlem isn't all safe, but you know some people..."Manhattan zip code?! Sign me up! It's in Harlem? Who cares, it's Manhattan, how can I not go for it?! Besides NYC is the safest big city on earth! YAY MANHATTAN!!".

Parts of the Bronx didn't fare so well this weekend, either. In the Bronx: 9 Shootings, 14 Victims, 2 Dead Teenagers

But as I know from reading the forum, there are some very nice and safe parts of the Bronx to live in, too.

Only in Harlem.
Who in the right mind would live there? I understand people who cannot afford rents elsewhere or have strong family ties there, but why would anyone with cash and the option to live in another neighborhood choose that slum called Harlem? Boggles my mind.

Did anyone read the article? The police fired 46 shots at one shooter. I hated living in Harlem, but the tenor of this thread is spurious. It's like saying that you shouldn't move to CT because some guy at work may shoot you.

Yeah but shootings in Harlem are a thing that happens every few days, that CT shooting is a really unlikely event nationwide.

Shootings happen every few days in Harlem, really? Fact or just a belief? I haven't seen numbers either way.
