NONE of this is helpful to anyone! All this talk about race, poverty, etc...
The "topic" was "Which neighborhoods to stay away from in Elmira, Corning.."
Near westside is probably the worst for crime, but the east side has the reputation for being the worst. I believe the East side is trying very hard to clean things up and make them safer for ALL families.
Unfortunately the drug scene has reared it's ugly head in just about all areas of Elmira lately. Criminals don't care about PC or race relations as long as they are making money. We need more people in this community to stop turning away from it all and start doing something about it! You can't make your neighborhood safe by sticking your heads in the sand. Elmira was once a really nice place to live (so I'm told, I wasn't here then, I'm from "DETROIT"), and it really CAN come back from the ruins of "the flood", you just have to have people who CARE.
