Does New York have any bad areas? (Barton, Greenwich: rent, buy)

If you say so. Again odd. You can attack but also are not willing to defend yourself.

Well where are you from? You want information that you're not sharing either. Interesting.

A 22 old kid got shot in the face dead over the weekend on Flushing ave outside a nightclub.

A couple weeks back a lady was shot by a stray bullet at Myrtle and Central.

A couple weeks prior to that the cops shot a kid dead that robbed, I think beer, from a bodega. I think he flashed a fake gun or something.

But crime is down.

Oh pierrepont. Again with the evading. I live in Sunnyside. My very first post on this board was about looking for an apartment and I told people where I landed. Now you!

I too mentioned my residences early on.

To answer the OP's question is tough. Each borough has its good spots and rough spots. In terms of most noticeable, the obvious is South/West bronx and Brownsville in BKN. East New York is still in that conversation as well; East Harlem (above east 115th street) is an area that I would avoid unless there was no other way to get to a destination.

Now, if you're a tourist, you are likely to be more intimidated by places like Bushwick that are changing rapidly, but still have a reputation that makes you concerned.

The wilds of Carnegie Hill are truly frightening.

A trailer park would be a delightful improvement for me.
