the amount of exaggeration that goes on CD is ridiculous. everywhere in nyc has crime. even in places you'd least expect. sure, ENY has a history.. but it's not anything as bad today as people say here. go to vandalia ave, it's nice. or up and down pennsylvania ave. everything looks decent. generally, many people here are ignorant and just fear black people. they the same types who sh*t their pants at the idea of going to harlem.
places like williamsburg brooklyn looked 10x worse 25 years ago than east new york today. there is still plenty of crime in those areas too.
last year, these neighborhoods had worse crime stats than ENY:
