So is that considered the hood. Or not. When DC nikkas hear about murders in pg County do they look at it as suburb nikkas tryna be thugs?
Dmv brehs is pg County the hood

- Start date
Capital Heights comes close but its literally on the boarder. Suitland ruff in patches too
Well that is usually MS13. They're where ever the Hispanics be. Idk what brehs in DC think about them. I wouldn't consider it akin to DC hoods
There’s definitely some hoods out there. PG is very diverse economically. Some poor areas. Some middle class. Some rich. Some country. Well actually all those nikkas are country to me
This pretty much sums it up

PG County is almost as big as the City of Los Angeles land-wise with a population of almost 1 million. Most of it is Black middle class suburbia but it do got its hood areas, 80% of whom are actually inside the Beltway. Not everywhere in the county is gonna look or feel as ghetto as say Seat Pleasant or Capitol Heights or Suitland but not everywhere is gonna look or feel as bougie as say Bowie or Clinton or Mitchellville. There are also some simply working class areas in PG that aren’t necessarily hood either but do got their pockets or elements of fukkery. I guess you can say when it comes to hood shyt, PG is to DC what DeKalb County is to ATL or Long Island is to NYC.

@Vivian Blake Hell yeah moe lol, ain’t nothin pleasant about Da Seat 
My lil nephew used to live around there and used to go to school there. Even got bullied and threatened by some lil knucklehead ass nikka at his old school that he’ll shoot him and get his father to pull up on his (my stepbrother) 
I grew up in nearby Walker Mill, so I know how them bebe kids tend to act around there. They get even worse as they get older if they stay in that environment for too long most times. That’s why I’m thankful that my mom moved us outta Walker Mill to Clinton later in the 2000’s.
My nephew and his mom and siblings are currently living in a really nice ass apartment up in Laurel now.
I had my fun times in the hood just as I’m sure my nephew did too, but that’s not some shyt I personally would wanna live in forever, dat’s dead

PG functions like it's own self contained "city" for lack of a better description. The closer to the Bridge (Woodrow Wilson Bridge) there is less middle to upper class residency. There are areas in PG where there are literal millionaires such as Mitchellville, Woodmore Estates, Upper Marlboro - upper middle to very high income areas. For example black doctors, lawyers, high ranking government employees. Also include in that athletes - Redskins players, NBA players, etc. Then there's sections in PG that are more lower income such as Marlow Heights, Capitol Heights, and Landover. There's also sections in PG such as Greenbelt and Hyattsville that have a concentration of Hispanics and black together. Also the fact that Maryland and VA have a lot of HBCU's within the radius. When I think of PG, I'm not thinking high crime rate off top - I'm thinking isolated incidents. If you have a group of people that don't f with each other, clustered in the same area with lack of resources, then some shyt is going to pop off regardless of the location. Depends on your circle too - trust fund/rich kids, hang out with each other; middle class = middle class, but again, that's anywhere - parents who take their kids to piano and ballet lessons, paid afterschool sessions are not going to be the same parents letting their kids wild out on the weekend with nothing to do.
There's the usual shopping centers and town centers. Boulevard at Cap Center is nice from what I've seen at the time, from what I remember but I think it's on the decline. The area surrounding it is nice with modern style apts, condos, lofts that are more on the expensive side. But then as soon as you cross the line into Landover or District Heights you can visually tell the difference in the scenery and economics. The problem is once again, the result of capitalism and inequality - companies not wanting to invest in black neighborhoods regardless of how high income it is. But what sets PG apart from counties in other states, that you have to also consider, PG County is one of the richest black communities in the nation, But DMV is home to the top 5 richest counties in America, not just east, west or south- the entire USA. That's a lot of competition right next door from investors and community developers.
basically any part that borders dc on the south east or north eastern side is hood, outside of the beltway are most affluent areas.

They closed that whole strip of stores down at the boulevard. They’re supposedly putting a hospital in its place. Been in production for some years now, so they say.
The only things left are the restaurants (Chick Fil A, Golden Coral, Long Horn etc), Chuckie Cheese and the movie theater.

that's DC and Bmore for you. Turn the corner and you suddenly stumble Into a bad neighborhood. Funny part is the houses would almost be the same except broken down. It's part of the reason gentrification happened so fast. Folks look at the housing cost. See that this house is exactly like that house in the nice neighborhood but way cheaper. They all move in together. Get access to the same amenities they would if they were in the nice neighborhood . Beef up security with the extra cash that could have been spent in buying a house.
That gave me an unique perspective on how spill over happened when it came to house pricing. Now I see it in major cities with high house prices.

My sis had a crib in upper Marlboro. Bought it. Stayed for six months and its value rose by close to 90 k so she flipped it
