What is the most "ghetto" NYC neighborhood nowadays? (New York: neighborhoods, rated)

[l1995]

In terms of how it looks and its vibe.

It would have been a better question if you said, "and NYCHA is not included."

That might make it more interesting. However I can't think of any neighborhoods that are both ghetto and NYCHA free.

Mott Haven. Highbridge. West Farms. Morrisania. All look like third world countries

People's perceptions of what is "ghetto" might be different, but I can't think of any neighborhoods that both lack NYCHA and are considered to be run down by most people. Maybe somewhere in the North Bronx?

I think Mott Haven's ghettoness is exaggerated a little bit, Longwood seems worse to me.

Add in East New York. Reminds me of Baltimore, and not in a good way.
