Camden NJ Report Abuse

I'm born and raised in long beach, work based in compton and work extensively throughout LA. I'm sitting in South Central right now... Camden, NJ is the sketchiest, most ghetto s---hole I've ever been to. No place on the west coast can even compare. This place is a real life version of "Crackton" from The Simpsons. It's like Back to the Future after Biff got a hold of the sports almanac. It's like Detroit only worse. It's like Escape from New York, only not in the future.

I grew up there and still have family in the area. As with most cities, the inner city itself is kinda ghetto, but there are nice areas within the city. If you count the burbs, like Cortland, Champion, Niles (kinda) and Howland, things get much less ghetto. There is farmland, but it's outside the city, past the burbs. Actually, I've noticed lately that the redneck population seems to be soaring. That can't be a good thing either. Either way, it is no Youngstown and it is certainly no No. 5.

Victoria, TX Report Abuse
Tweekers and mentally ill roam the streets. People in the town have a very hard, rough demeanor, rude, selfish, and ignorant. Lots of drug related crimes and violent crimes for such a small city. Gangbangers and cartel affiliates muscle local buisiness. If you move here, highly suggest getting a concealed carry permit and a large breed dog. I have lived in San Diego, Chicago, and even other countries and by far felt the least safe living in Victoria.

I been in Mansfield for close to two years now, and I live on W Raleigh, right close to Prospect park.. I don't think Mansfield is as bad as yall say it is, Richland County just crippled by dope, makes me sad, heard it was a HUGE industrial town back in the day. I wouldn't put it in the top most dangerous cities in America though. Lol. Lots of overdoses, and thieves. That's for sure.

Rocky Mount, NC Report Abuse
I was born and raised in Rocky Mount and it was a peaceful delicate countryside almost and it was no crime basically no nothing. Now though is a different story. It is crime everywhere you go in Rocky Mount. Not like little crimes but I am talking about shootings everyday, rapes, drunk driving, car theft, and drugs. Yes, this may happen everywhere in the world, but Rocky Mount is a very small city and there's is about 10 shootings a day and this has really changed since I grew up. NEVER MOVE HERE!!!!
