I am not saying YOU hang with the homies, I am merely giving an example of why one person may think the city is "extremely dangerous" while another may think it is "pleasant and safer than it ever has been." It is all relative.
Well it came off as if you were generalizing people that feel it is dangerous as criminals while law obiding citizens feel it's safe. (And you say you're not so no offense taken)
Anyway, I hope this thread sheads some light on this situation for some people that have one track minds.
But it seems like that area has come a long way. Those area in the 28th precinct where year in and year out the murder capital in the 70's and in certain summer months averaged over 400 robberies! Very infamous. Harlem at it's worst.
