Why so offended. Do you live in one of these neighborhoods? I hope you don't contribute to the third world atmosphere
Only an untraveled idiot would make such claims. Try expanding your little mind before pulling irrespsonbile statements out of your ass. Try obtaining a passport and getting a clue.
As a more series response to the topic, while you could argue that many neighborhoods in NY have a third world feel (uneducated people, garbage everywhere, people don't speak english, homeless bums everywhere, etc), the difference is that if you were in an actual third world city, you would probably be liable to be killed or mugged every ****ing day. Even in most ****ty areas of New York you are relatively unlikely to be the victim of anything beyond rudeness. And that's a big difference, so the third world descriptor isn't really accurate.
I've been to Ecuador, which I guess is considered "thirld world", and the cities were way cleaner than NYC and I don't remember seeing any bums. I don't think these cities are particularly dangerous either.

I'm leaving this neighborhood soon, and I won't name the 'hood but it's been written up by the NYtimes as a gentrifying place. It's relatively safe and full of families.... But...
Anyone recognize this? It's insane that we live in such a wealthy city but have so many neighborhoods like this
I recognize "this" - meaning your complaint that things are too scruffy for you. However, have someone explain the general connotation of "Third World" to you. It usually implies a genuinely dysfunctional society, dire poverty, illiteracy, etc. That's not the same thing as a neighborhood that isn't middle-class American.
