hot take: The hood areas of DC are worse than baltimore or Philly

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

DC never made me uneasy driving...Baltimore OTOH, I was trying to hit one of the famous crab cake spots and had to drive thru the hood to get there, I never wanted to run more red lights in my life

Went up to B'more about 10 to 12 years ago....doing the EXACT same thing.

We had been in DC checking out monuments and just randomly decided to go north on 95 (think we took a longer route than we could have tbh). Some areas are hood but there's no one around. Here it was people looking high as fukk just stumbling around.

All these places are the same. I got family in both Bmore and DC. Both just as bad, meaning nikkas dying every night in both cities. Women getting raped in both cities. Old folks getting stuck up by gunpoint both cities, hard working people homes getting ran up in in both cities, kids dying in the streets from stray bullets in both cities, regardless of how the buildings look, people check look exactly the same and they just as poor, so all these nikka Olympics with who got the higher numbers this year or next is some slave mentality c00n shyt. NO..MIA,ATL,Philly,Bronx… who gives a fukk

DC has bad areas but Baltimore and Philly hoods are bombed out

Speaking of NOMA I remember being on North Capitol watching a junkie brandish a knife at another junkie while cacs was jogging a block away


DC is a tale of 2 citiez fr

One of my favorite photographs

I’m DC born and raised but I went to college in Baltimore…I’ll say this Bmore def got us but not by a lot it’s just more poverty down there. If you were down N Capitol you probably were down by Sursum Cordaz. You might not find a worse housing project in the country. Da City def ain’t sweet don’t let an outta downer lie to you…

Was in a place for 2 days and became enough of an expert on it to inform the rest of us of its status against two other states' hoods. Thank you for blessing us.

Nah DC has plenty of vacants. In my neighborhood (in NW mind you) there are a lot of them. It’s just not at the level of Philly Baltimore or parts of Jersey.

You got addresses? Cause I can try to rustle up some investors, lol.

Lemme slide a few hunsky to Bowser for a good look on the permits...

. If you were down N Capitol you probably were down by Sursum Cordaz.

been to DC dozens of times since I have ppl in PG and Charles County. Just never walked around the hood parts of NE/SE before. Even riding through certain areas you might not peep how bad it is cause of how expensive parts are mixed with the trenches. READ to understand

 

[Mastamimd]

nikkas in here having a hood off lol

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Idk about all that. What I do know is that driving in DC is woat. Make a wrong left somewhere in NE and in 30 seconds you in SW. How is that possible?

 

[Hov]

I’ll be honest…

DC makes me actually fearful these days driving through.

The violence is too random and done by drugged our teens, so I’m much more uncomfortable.

Oddly enough, Baltimore is worse (it looks like Iraq) but I feel safer, if that makes sense. The violence still seems to mostly stem around beef and getting money, like my younger days in DC, so you at least have a lower risk of something completely random happening to you, even though it’s still dangerous, and a much worse city overall.

I was in hood in Philly last Summer; and I legit said to myself “this may be the worst place I’ve ever been and I’m in serious danger” lol…not sure if just uneasy from being out of town but it was like it’s own world and if something happened to me no one would care.

Bad stuff overall.

I did READ it, and you just SAID the same thing, it isn't hard to understand.

This was your first time walking through the hood in DC , you peed your panties a little, and then when you got home you ran to the coli to make a sweeping statement declaring it worse than Baltimore and Philly, based on what you saw for 2 days. I think I got it. Everyone did.

Go around 29th and Allegheny or the Badlands in Philly and you'll feel quite different.


One of my homies lived on 22nd and Indiana, and they left a crossroads sized pothole in the street for years.

This ain't it, but parts of Philly look like Fallujah.

 

[Cyrus' Wife]

Born in DC but I have family in Baltimore and Philly as well.

No way is DC the worst out of the three.

DC hoods aint close to Philly. I can't speak for Bmore, although I know it's bombed out. I'm in the bity heavy. Aint no hoods I've seen too close, outside Detroit, or Camden (east Philly lol). Everywhere else hoods look well kept in comparison (outside southern impoverished hoods or out the country). I've seen the the Midwest, Cali, south.

Aint nothin lookin like east coast coast city/town areas, elsewhere. Y'all nkkas be having apt complexes as hoods and ranch homes, we would consider middle-class living....FOH.
