ok now i see what your saying and it makes more sense at first i had no clue what you were implying by midwest ghettos being completely different than west coast ghettos. Now i see why richmond is so low on your list, i had an idea that it would have to do with the cost of living, amount of money, etc...
St.Louis in the top 3 again

I was thinkin the same thing, that's why I said it wans't a diss to Gary or Detroit cuz I can understand. Especially with Gary cuz Flint and Gary are like sister cities. Both have almost the same population, same reason for there struggles (The Steel inudstry leavin Gary and GM leavin Flint), and both are also ONLY known nationaly by their crime rate. So I can defintly understand the "idea of "survival," thus the title of murder cap tremendously emphasizes this idea of survival as a vital part of someones' identity." Shit being raised from Flint and in the most dangerous area of the city, I've been guilty of the same shit a lot of times. I was just simply statin a point that the Chi just didn't do it.
Milwaukee scored a 55.99, that was 70th overall (out of the original 375). The 2 crime variables weren't quite high enough, along with the vacant housing not being high enough. As for the other four, the Mil was pretty high.
Rockford = 50.31 (#145 overall)
Aurora = 38.33 (#271 overall)
Cicero was not in the original 375, but I plugged the data into the equation and for comparison's sake, threw in a North Side (Evanston) and South Side (Harvey) suburb as well, and here's what the results were:
Harvey = 71.82 (that would've been good enough for #13 overall)
Evanston = 31.43
Cicero = 51.60 (right about Rockford level, I was surprised to see Cicero is 78% Latino, that was the rough white area I thought, the place where it was NOT safe to be black back in the day)
*I'm glad you guys have a basic appreciation for this, we've got some perceptive urban geographers amongst us. Far cry from the West Coast boards who get their panties in a bunch when told that just maybe they are not the best regional poster-child for urban decay.

i think he meant housing projects, same thing...anyways like xpanther206 said before cali hoods are different than other hoods. When i checked every cities pics the only city i saw with people outside in the backround hustlin is in the san francisco pics. It ain't that bad??? That is HP, it is not run down buildings or nothing but still it is the projects, cops being sprayed with ak's, drugs being sold on the block, same shit that goes down in every ghetto. Trust me you would not want to live in there.
hey thats ok, san francisco is the best place in the states to live, yes it is a very friendly, but it is a big city and at any time you could get your throat slit for talking shit whether that be in HP, mission, or the wharf. KC's is a lot less dangerous than people make it out to be, plus what the hell is there to be proud of in living in a highly crime rated city, there is nothing to bragg about. Kc murders are spread out, Sf murders are back at the same place time and time again, you probaly live in some KC burb with lots of cash and speaking like you commit the crimes in KC. i guarantee you wouldn't roll through HP and tell them people that SF is fag city.
theres nothing to be proud of living in a city with a high crime rate but you act as if san fransisco and the bay area is rough.Oakland is but thats all.How the fuck do you know how dangerous KC is????I never said that i commit all the crimes in KC and no i dont live in the burbs.i live in the eastside of KC and i know for a fact you wouldnt come here and talk shit either.Who would go to somebody elses hood and talk shit????How can you claim that your city is rough when you only got one bad hood????
^^^
lol i never talked down on KC, i was born and partly raised in KC, kansas. There are much more hoods than one in the bay area, shit there is more than one in san francisco, you don't know a damn thing about the bay area if you think that oakland is the only hood. there is east palo alto the ex murder capital of the united states, hunters point(go rent straight outta hunters point, the documentary and tell me it ain't a hood. Richmond, cali's highest crime rated city and 11th in the united states, east oakland, those top the long list of hoods in the bay, not to mention that there are also a lot of very nice neighborhoods.

damn if you were raised in KC then why dont you represent it????Why dont you have a 816/913 area code instead of 415/810???All I know is what i hear and see.Every rapper is wack besides too short,celly cell,spice 1,dru down,rappin 4 tay,Luni Coleone and killa tay.Most everybody is on mac dres dick.All the hoods ive seen on TV and that i saw on the hood 2 hood dvd and hear about aint shit but a bunch of motherfuckers acting for the camera.Out of all the hoods on the hood to hood dvd the bay area was the weakest.When you compare the bay area hoods to all the other hoods you'll see whos real and whos not..theres a big difference.I know theres a gang of mexicans and thats probably why its so fake.If there were more niggaz like in oakland it might be poppin'.The bay is pathetic...nuff said.They think that dancing in clubs is gangsta.Compton,sacramento,and LA make the bay look like a bunch of bitches when you compare the cities.Who gives a fuck about the crime rate?????That dont mean shit...
