I completely disagree.

Also, how is North Philly not a lost cause yet Camden is? BOTH are full of good people. Camden has a ton of immigrants, just like Kensington/Fairhill and North Philly does.

Actually since this thread is now titled the Philadelphia Metro Crime Thread, relevant topics from both the PA and NJ suburbs* are welcome for discussion. We would surely not want potential residents to get the impression that crime is solely limited to the city or that there are not suburban areas where crime is not an issue, no?

With the parameters now clarified, let's return to sharing and discussing crime issues in the Philadelphia metro.

*For purposes of this thread, let's define "PA suburbs" as those counties that border the city and "NJ suburbs" as those counties that share the Delaware River with Philadelphia.

When I want to know about an area,looking at the local news station site tells me all I need to know

Yeah like the places they call 'quiet neighborhoods'...it was only a matter of time

It just wouldn't be as juicy as Philly's
