chicago il Report Abuse
10 murders a day dog
155 points - added 13 years ago by guest - 3 comments
Comments:
I grew up in the South side Chicago burbs and started going to Chicago once or twice a week in early High School. Being a small female, I never had any issue even now at 25. You just have to know where to go and where not to go. Its a very big city, aviod parts around West side, around China Town. Never take the Green Line, ever. Around the White Sox park is pretty bad. Homeless people are the only issue Ive ever had but if you crack a joke by saying they have more money than you, they laugh and walk away. I love Chicago! Very clean city and the best food! Great music scene and top venues. Orlando, FL I think is a lot worst than Chicago hands down! I'm living out here for school and it is extremly terrible!

Camden, NJ Report Abuse
Despite its small population, Camden (NJ) has been in the top 10 of America's most dangerous cities for more than half a century with just some rare gaps...
133 points - added 13 years ago by writershire - 2 comments
Comments:
Camden NJ residents and law enforcement and education systems need to be revised and work together more efficiently because this city has been a urban sprawled out war zone ever since the emergence of crack cocaine hitting the streets in the 1980s. Lets all pray that Camden New Jersey turns around someday and will be recognized as a nice place to live like it was back in the 1960s. The city started going downhill after racial unrest occurred during the 1970s . Everyone is equal black white latino asian we all need to work together to make this world a better place. ...

Well, it is not just black on black, there are things that go on in west omaha but they just don't tell you about that. There was a lady that had enough explosives in her house to level a city block. There are sheriffs and police officer husband n wives beating the hell out of each other. There are elected officials who can't let history go and aren't allowing people that were acquitted of crimes over 10 years ago holding it over people's heads that had nothing to do with it. The city is just corrupt and full of corrupt. Elected officials all the way down.

The reason why Detroit is ranked number one is becuase of a few reasons. The city doesn't even have 850,000 residents, the economy has hit the city extremely hard, auto factories laying off and the homeless rate is beyond high. Other than that it's not just dangerous on one side of the city, it's dangerous everywhere.

Gary, indiana Report Abuse
Second highest murder rate in the country
68 points - added 13 years ago by guest - 2 comments
Comments:
For you to say that there are no nice places to live is Gary, is ignorant. I grew up there and yes it is a rough place to grow up and live but it is apparent that you have not been there much or through there at all. People like you kill me because if you did not grow up there you have no idea what you are talking about. I am 38 years old and lived in a great area known as the Horace Mann Area that was once inhabited by lawyers and doctors etc.., after they left, the neighborhood remained the same until the mid to late 90's. Please talk about the things you know and not what you have seen in passing.

I was born and raised in Salinas, I've lived in the East side for my entire life, none of the people I know family or friends have ever been shot. It is true at some point it was bad, but leave the past in the past people!I agree with the comment below.

I think every city has its crime. Im a single mother born and raised in east salinas 36yrs. (Garner,Towt st.) Many of these comments are exagerated. I dont worry about shootings everyday or have to watch my back. I walk to the store at nite with no problems. I believe the media contributes to the negative perception people have about the east side. Bullets dont discriminate streets, gender, cities, or class!

I grew up in Salinas, went to Alisal High in the 70's a bad time for gang violence in the high school itself, I actually I dodged a bullet myself!! I did get in gang fights because I would not join the gangs and I hung out with white people. I don't think things are near that bad at AHS now Thank God! True that I am proud to have been raised here and to have been a graduate from Alisal High Go Trogans!! Igraduated from Hartnell and went on to San Jose State. Yes, people have to make choices and I choose the High road believe in God and he will guide you. It's sad Salinas has become a violent place to live and yes I look over my shoulder everyday I'm out! There are still alot of good people who live here and hopefully the Good people will prevail,but until then I'm careful and never let my guard down. I raised my 3 kids here and I'm a single parent by widow, it was tough but now all my children are college grads..Parents need to be involved their kids lives and a parent needs to be tough hold true to your word or their word means nothing to them..I can't say people should move here,but I have a good job here and for now it's home to me and probably will be till I retire.

Yes Salinas isn't the best place to live, but it's not as bad as yall are making it seem. I grew up & was or is being raised on the east side. i'm 16 go to Alisal High school which isn't the best school, but I like it. No theres not a shooting every week. Yes theres alot of shootings a year! It is scary tho, nowing that if yuh where certain clothes, hang out with certain people, or wear red or blue yur at risk of getting shot if your not involved with the wrong kind of peple then heres not to much to woryy about!

Its not safe to walk to school. go shopping, sit in your house. robberies, car jackings, stray bullets, or drive bys no one is safe.... Salinas needs a curfew and the feds to step in People are moving away and they cant sell their houses because nobody wants to buy in the crime ridden neighborhoods. Not to mention property values have fallen dirt cheap nobody wants to live there

philadelphia pa Report Abuse
their murder and crime rate is ridiculous.

Philadelphia is a wonderful city to live in the problem is that the money is being put in the wrong places like center city. Neighborhoods throughout North Philly, Parts of West Philadelphia , Southwest Philadelphia, Frankford and Oxford Circle in the Northeast. and point breeze and grays ferry in south philadelphia are all the neighborhoods that need to be gentrified. we all need to turn toward jesus and stop listening to the life the hip hop media is telling us to live selling drugs making money getting hoes and not snitching Communitys need to start standing up and refusing to allow their neighborhoods to become urban warzones where people are shot and killed daily . Parts of North Philly look horiffic thats not to say that there arent nice parts in North Philly . Every city has its good and its bad parts. We as a nation need to start loving and caring for one another instead of constantly fighting and killing eachother. We need to be role models for the future generations to come. Be a leader not a follower and help our country improve .....

a ghetto city in northeast ohio just west of Cleveland. a decaying steel mill town where all the jobs are left. the only people left in the city are gangsta puerto ricans and blacks the only girls have a kid when theyre still in high school. very high crime and murder rate for most of the city. filled with boarded up houses, closed factories, abandoned buildings with gang graffiti, rundown houses riddled with bullet holes, section 8, and public housing projects. the only way to make money is to steal, rob, or sell drugs

It's not that bad here. St Louis doesn't have as many people as some other cities so when they (the statisticians) do the math it seems like we have more crime when in reality we don't. St. Louis is more prejudice and racially divided than it is dangerous. Visit the Central West End or the University City Loop and you'll have lots of fun. Stay away from Charlack (they send out camera tickets) and Ladue (they have orders from the Mayor to pull blacks over for DWB (Driving while black)).

Dayton, OH Report Abuse
Dayton had a chance at being a beautiful and historical town centered around the fact that this city is the home of aviation and the mother of the aircraft. However, things didn't turn out so well for Dayton. It became infested with low lives, ******s, rednecks, drug addicts, welfare check grabbers, third worlders, drug dealers, and whores. The only thing keeping this city's head above the water are the hard working people of the USAF and the suburban struggling middle class. In about ten more years we'll begin looking a lot more like Detroit.

Newburgh has its good sides as well. You just have to be smart when driving through the city. Lots of gangs, stabbing and shootings but I grew up there and was fine. People just have no common sense.

Springfield isn't even the most dangerous city in Massachusetts. Brockton and New Bedford are much worse.

Im from Toledo. This has got to be one of the most sad and depressing places to stay. With one of the worst poverty rates, number jobs lost, and federal funding of all mid size cities in the nation, it does not shock nor surprise me that its ranked as one of the worst cities in america. Ohio, as a whole, is a state on the decline and in my opinion rivaling any southern state as far as the amount of illiterate and poverty strickin communities.

Safe and fun city. Except you gotta be smart. Of course there is a bunch of crime in certain parts. Very poor parts too! However there is some very rich areas and nice areas too! Cost of living is great! There 3000 sq ft homes for only 250,000. Really affordable and fun city!
