Many neighborhoods today in the city are like that now, but between Whites and Blacks they are still very segregated.

Yeah, but you could make that statement about a lot of areas of the country.

Yes, but that does not make it acceptable.

So long as there are ghetto neighborhoods and ghetto hospitals and ghetto schools, there will be ghetto desperation, ghetto violence, ghetto fear cuz a ghetto is itself an evil and unnatural construction.

Alright, but even so, Harlem and Washington Heights aren't that racially segregated. There are a decent number of Whites in those neighborhoods.

Yeah but both the whites and the minorities live in two seperate worlds in that neigborhood. Example Broadway divides Washington Heights from the drugs, poverty, hustling, loud merengue bachata playing cars from the glitz and glam doorman building jewish owned coops.

This article is related to the area the OP was asking about. seems gang violence, along with drugs is a big problem in the area.

It's such a horrible area. The precinct had the most murders (23) in the entire Bronx last year, and it was 3rd in the city.

The overall violent crime rate isn't south Bronx levels, and the poverty rate is also less, but they are trigger happy up there. Alot of gun play due to the heavy drug trade around White Plains Road. There are actually some decent residents who call the northeast Bronx home, unfortunately, the bad apples make it an undesirable place to live.

There are still a noticeable number of Whites living east of Broadway, though.

In any case, you mentioned Harlem, which we all know has a noticeable White population as well. The only one where you are correct is Mott Haven.
