As far as big cities in the NE go, I'd agree. Either here or Baltimore. Philly also has he highest poverty rate of all big cities (it's like 29% or so).

Philly's a big city tho, there are a lot of good areas too.

my family is based in NY and we avoid it like the plague however shit happens lol

Bmore, I actually lived there for a few months and it's so damn lit up with blue lights 24 7 that I'm sure the rates are down at this point.

in 2015. so did DC

For example Quincy, Florida supposedly had an abnormally high HIV percentage but the population is only 8,000 people

Approximate populations:

Baltimore: 620,961
Philadelphia: 1,526,006
DC: 672,228


It's not just the rates. Overall, the safest mid-atlantic BIG (500k+) cities seem to be:

NYC > DC > Philly > Baltimore

it's like a big neighborhood (i.e. Harlem covering 2 sides of NY for something like 50 blocks)

from my brief understanding of Baltimore there isnt enough space for the widespread criminal element

Philly having so much more space and only 64 less murders than Baltimore says a lot

mainly because it (usually) shows how widespread of an issue it is in that city. none of this is perfect tho.

what cities are we including in this? Boston, NYC, Newark and Philly?
cause it's still untrue when you open it up to smaller cities.

Your link to show me that Philly wasn't even listed was full of cities around the country.

A link I read specified NE cities (which the subject was about) and listed it as number 3. What's so hard abt this. I'll find the link in a sec if that helps? Idk

let someone else really debate if we in our everyday lexicon can call those places a city or not lol.

"A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metro area or just metro, is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing."

All urban centers have areas that are so-called dangerous. Will you get shot randomly walking around North Philly in the middle of the day? No.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one always bashing the southerners as slow, backwards, etc..? Now generalizations are bad? If I have the wrong person my bad.

I've said I don't like the south and that it's too slow for me. I've never called the people who lived there "backwards," but may have referred to the laws and lack of unions as such.

they literally report nothing but violence and sports

Philly is about as dangerous as the bad parts of New York but it's about 1/4 the size
Philly is less dangerous but bigger than Camden where there are no good parts to speak of
Philly is bigger than Baltimore, DC and Boston

basically what Im saying is you can live in Philly comfortably away from the violence, so I dont agree with depicting it as a shithole. my only issue was I found it too small overall and there's a definite crab in the barrel mentality with people

-

https://linktr.ee/storibrooks

the only places larger in the country are New York, LA, Houston and Chicago

it's violent for sure but you can raise a family in quiet, safe areas provided the income is there

it's like you're giving Philly a bad rap for not being as spread out as LA or NY. my comment about it being too small really dealt with social circles, the same people can see each other at parties for 6 years straight, that wore thin to me

bc it often does
plus the fact that if you are obviously an outsider bc everybody knows everybody
and niggas be on that shit ( if niggas dont be on that shit, correct me if im wrong lol) ur potential of being a vic is quite substantial. lol.

Which sucks because, abundance of grimaces and mean mugs aside, I actually really like Philly.

Btw, I live in Boston and have been to Paris and Marseille multiple times. All those places have a big reputation for grump. Philly (and Allentown) easily the shittiest attitudes, no contest, no hesitation. Perhaps Paris a close second.

lived there for 5 years. Never had a problem even tho i lived in west philly 49th and baltimore, 4th and tasker and on south and 15th.

i mostly witnessed fist fights, arguments and downright miserable people... and filth.

my wife lived by the fishmarket so i also saw an insane amount of italian family members arguing with fam and friends.

I still recreate an argument we witnessed with an old guy in a hoverround. fucking hilarious

I used to live on 15th and Catherine, love that place. Those old jazz dudes don't play there anymore, dude on the keys used to fall asleep during their set. The new band is good though. also, you can spend 12 dollars and walk out stumbling if you want to.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

that band used to be off the hook.

thay was the shit i loved about Philly. All the little dive bars.

Monks, Soma, Fluid, The Fire... used to get it in.

Soma on Tues. Bruh...

People that live in Philly treat the city, it's streets and buildings like they outwardly hate it and are fighting against making their own surroundings livable. No other place in the US where you will see people just throwing garbage on the ground almost as if it's a sport or city planners trying to fuck up the historical significance of buildings and neighborhoods. Folks only defend and support their city in words when an outsider is critical, spending more time and effort trying to come up with why Philly is better than X than it would take to, you know, pick up that WaWa cup you just tossed on the ground.

we took the kids to NYC and they were amazed at how clean it is. One little Italian girl thought it was too clean so she threw her garbage in the river.

I suspended her from the program for 2 days and when her mom came to pick her up after the field trip she rolled the window down and threw an empty bag of chips out of her window... in Old City.

I used to live in S. Philly and people would open their front doors to throw trash onto the street. smh...

and this is what made Sunny in Philly so genius. Cause the way those fools scream and argue is exactly how they do it IRL.

All that loud rah-rah talking will get one's jaw tapped.


I remember talking hip hop with this NYC dude a few years back, and he disagrees with me on some "NAH, SON! YO, FUCK THAT... HE'S A REAL STREET DUDE SON!"

Had me gritting on this dude for a sec wondering if he was trying to play me before he started smiling and I realized that's how those folks talk up there. They go other places and get friction tho.

once again the word choice has me crying.

I'll never forget asking Jeru if any rappers were really on that thug shit and he said nah... none of them. They all lying.

What about Beans? Jeru paused, lifted a finger and said "Well, he's not a rapper"

Every new york nigga down here starts every sentence with "back in NY..." man stfu, you aint in NY nigga.
