Syracuse’s East Side and Eastern suburbs are its most affluent, generally speaking.

In Buffalo, some may say that parts of South Buffalo and parts of Lackawanna to the south can be working class, at best. Suburbs further east/SE like Lancaster and much of West Seneca are solidly middle class. Cleveland Hill next to NE Buffalo is actually straight middle class as well.

Wall Street is in the southernmost part of Manhattan. Lower Manhattan is one of the most expensive places on the planet.

South Manhattan is really hood, what are you talking about? Just the other day the 'suits' as we call them made a huge amount of money disappear. Some say it was a bad day in the market, but I know better. Best stay clear of them, one of the scariest gangs in history given their criminal activities are legal. I haven't gone down south of Chambers because of it for a few years now.

Old thread, but in Phoenix, the south side is the more undeveloped and less dense part of the city (talking between the Salt River and the north side of South Mountain Park, not counting Ahwatukee, which is separated from the rest of the city by the South Mountains, and is a de facto suburb). Until recently, it was the historically black section of Phoenix due to redlining. It is being gentrified these days though, and now, the Westside is the bad part of the city, but unlike the south side, the westside (especially Maryvale) is quite densely populated and developed

I don't know if Springfield, MO is "urban" enough to qualify, but the Southside is the best side and the white trash losers all live on the Northside.

just sayin

Probably has to do with the south side being closer to the Ozarks

The majority of violent crime in Nebraska occurs in North Omaha.

No, not really. Springfield was originally two cities. The north side was traditionally where the railway workers lived, a rough bunch, supposedly. Also, as the town grew it grew south, so the older, low-rent homes that attract the unsavory types are found more on the north side than the south.
