Also when she was little my wife's stepdad used to take her and her sister to the North Lawndale neighborhood in Chicago to score his PCP and/or smack. He was a great fella...that family outing was probably a high point in her day to be honest.

Oklahoma has enough of those already.

I've never been to Tulsa but people in OK City and Norman describe the place as if it were San Francisco or Amsterdam or some such place.

Why the hell would to do that?

I'm headed into Oakland on Friday for a birthday. Edge of Oakland and Berkeley, actually. Mind of okay part of town.

Don't usually see much there, but I played in a basketball league out there in some neighborhoods that were super sketchy.

North Tulsa is a fucking warzone. The faggot hipsters want to paint downtown Tulsa like Austin. It's a fucking con.

What no Bell Gardens, Compton, Watts? I didn't driving through Compton in broad daylight. I had friends in Bell Garden so it wasn't bad, but I didn't linger at night.

Only ones I've been to are Memphis (driving through) and Harlem.
I actually know that area of Harlem quite well since one of the best pools and tracks in NYC is nearby. I never found it that bad but I've never been there at night.

I'm really surprised the South Bronx isn't on there though. That is the worst place in NYC.

Harlem didn't seem bad, even at night.

I had a conference in Long Beach a few years back and didn't reserve a room soon enough and ended up in a fairly sketchy neighborhood. I went for a long walk to see what was around and everybody kept looking at me though I didn't piece together why til a convenience store clerk asked that I was doing walking through these neighborhoods. Granted, nobody did anything but you had drugs being consumed on each and every block.

Chicago can't possibly have four of the top 20 neighborhoods. I heard that reports of high crime rates in Chicago are a right-wing lie.

That's who's pickin' me up at the airport. It's one of their comps.

Great guy.

I often get random phone calls as sketchy folk are following him to the train, "Just in case something happens, I want someone on the phone."

That first pic isn't Chicago but New Orleans. As a city, we work very hard to shoot the hell out of innocent bystanders on Mother's Day, at Mardi Gras parades, shoot tourists in the Quarter. We throw into jail (and de-louse) tourists who make illegal left-hand turns. We had cops slaughtering people on their detail shifts, burying their father's bones under their houses, taking out hits on people who complained about police brutality.

Yet we don't even make the top 20? Where's the respect?

Good read that probably confirms what people who live there already know (it's not long):
almost all of the North Side and much of the Northwest Side now have murder rates of 3.3 per 100,000 people — on par with Toronto, and better than New York, where rates have plummeted. But not in Austin and much of the South Side, where annual murder rates of 40 per 100,000 are not uncommon.
In the early '90s, the most dangerous third of the city had about six times as many murders as the safest third, (51 per 100,000, compared with 9.4 per 100,000.) By the late 2000s, the most dangerous part of the city had nearly 15 times more homicides, 39 per 100,000 compared with 2.7.
