Compton always looked like a nice ass neighborhood to me

Its the climate man. Structures retain value longer in dry climates. It's 77 degrees year round and a large percent of residential structures are built with stucco. Acres Homes in Houston is designed with a sprawl similar to Compton or Watts, however due to humidity, flooding and extreme heat, properties don't retain their cosmetic value as long. Similarly on the East Coast and upper Midwest, freezing rain, snow and extreme cold have an adverse effect on the look and feel of structures. Add to that the population density in New York that forces you to build upward, whereas down south and out west there's urban sprawl which has a much more appealing look and feel. In summation, Compton is very photogenic, but the element is still there

ahhh...never thought about that. Love it when people bring some type of science to explain things..

Southern poverty is a whole different level of depression. I'm from SoCal and shyt is just newer and there was better urban planning by the time the west was built up from orange groves.

You ain't neva lied....

Maybe it was way worse in the 80's and 90's but today it doesn't look bad at all. Deep East Oakland looks far far worse.

Funny I just picked up my cousin from the airport who lives in both Cali and Brooklyn and she said south central and Compton weren’t nice at all and look like a mess when you see it in person.

when I visited Cali I didn’t get to see those areas for my self since I was with a bunch of bougie ass females

You gotta check it out for yourself breh. The way they marketed Compton and South Central in movies and videos you would expect to see a warzone. I've been to both and I didn't see neither.

Nor did I see hella dudes hanging out on a block in gang attire. Being from Oakland I've seen shytty neighborhoods and I didn't see one hood in Compton nor South Central that was worse than where I'm from.

Yh them dudes living in nice areas with great weather and palm trees.

This is just bleak

Poor people stacked up on top of each other in pissy hallways

I never understood why they had to make this hirises so dam scary looking.

The vibe is way different and the properties are also in worse condition.
Cali just looks like a really nice place and people keep their shyt up.
In the midwest, that industrial pollution and "lack of economic future" is in the air.
Those neighborhoods in the south are the same....just hot.
The bay looks scarier than LA tbh...

Didn't realize this was an old thread until i saw this dude had posted in here. Apparently thecoli scarier than the bay.

This is accurate.

When you are in these neighborhoods in person you know you're in the hood right off the bat

That’s not a high rise

I've only really spent time in West Oakland, but there's some rough blocks out there. Didn't get the impression that the area was rougher than Compton or South Central. But explain to me the difference between East and West Oakland?

Cats gotta keep in mind just how small Oakland is in comparison to South Central. I think a comparison of parts of Oakland to parts of Compton or South Central basically even out...

No it isn't.

Only sheltered lame nikkas think every hood is the same. Cognitive Dissonance. You notice its mostly suburban west coast nikkas who create that false narrative out of insecurity. If every hood was the same, than the numbers would be the same. Every hood is definitely not the same.

West Oakland historically was more of an eye sore than East Oakland was until about 15 years ago. Now you have more white folk in West Oakland. I'm from deep east Oakland and it's absolutely the filthiest part of Oakland. There's more drugs and crime in the deep east than any other part of Oakland.

A lot of dopefiends and absolutely no gentrification in sight. It's almost like it's own city at this point. shyt is absolutely disgusting and every time I go back I be happy to get the fukk out.
