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

[bigrodthe1]

Hell no. I'm from and live back in Detroit but I lived in DC off and on at points for about 15 years and still got a lot of connections there. I have also been to Bmore countless times and Philly several times. Nothing and I mean NOTHING is more fukked up than B More hoods I have told the story multiple times on here and back on about the time I was on the Bmore block and thought it was over run with cats and again I'm a Eastside DETROIT nikka but nothing is as grimy as Bmore. DC true hoods are dusty as hell too though. I used to live uptown 7th and Kennedy and Chopper City in SE and ALL that shyt is rodent and bug infested. Too many nikkas not enough space

No

Low key Miami have some of the wildest hoods in the country

When people think of Miami you think of beautiful women and beaches but Miami is wild as fukk

People expect Philly B More and DC to be hood, no one expects that in Miami till you actually get there and leave the rich parts

What made me think of Miami was the description of having nice parts and hood parts close to each other. Miami the first place I known to be like that.

fukk naw… I’m from Bmore… a regular night in bmore looks like a scene out the thriller video… I also worked in DC for years and I still have people out there… bmore is definitely worse

The crazy thing is even the parts of DC that don’t look bad are filled with crashdummies, Rayful Edmond fukked that city up.

But multiple people have told me they never felt as unsafe or uncomfortable anywhere in the USA as they felt in Baltimore.

I have to agree with @dora_da_destroyer and @Gloxina Baltimore has potential to be a great city but, its downright scary in certain parts

Kids today don't know what it was like living in the MapQuest era, with no apps for GPS, driving through Baltimore at 2am not knowing where you going but, you gotta find a gas station because you close to being on E and everybody on the corner look like Chris and Snoop from the Wire.

Baltimore has whores though.

I stayed in "NoMa" over the weekend and made the mistake of wandering around thinking $4k apartments around union market meant the area was safe
Went to some chinese store called Full Yum on P and North Capital to get mumbo chicken (overrated btw) and saw a crackhead pull a machete out his pants on another crackhead. I never actually saw people smoking crack before in real life until last weekend. It's 2023 and it's really people out DC smoking crack on major street corners at 1pm.
I been around SE and Anacostia before but in a car, didn't think it was that bad. This time I had feet on land and it's another world out there.

Not that it's a competition or anything but I was sleeping on DC all this time . I'm a breh that walks through Kensington fine but them DC goons and crackheads had me anxious as hell

Chicken with mumbo sauce is fùckin trash.

Chicken with mumbo sauce is fùckin trash.

 

[desjardins]

Chicken with mumbo sauce is fùckin trash.

it's just aight.
taste like sweet and sour sauce with a lil tang too it.
I heard it was invented by the chinese ppl in the stores so I wonder why other chinese stores in other cities didn't try it

Kids going to be dead or in prison by 18 and parents going to be crying they were good kids smh

Because it’s trash. DC can keep that lol

 

[Stuntone]

I live in SouthEast DC (Capital Hill East tho)

Thing is, the metro system is so good here in DC, the hood is very mobile. Everyone has a metro card. Isn't like most hoods where goons and bums stay on one corner and one neighborhood all day and night.

Ive been living and visit DC since 2004. Never drove thru a place where I was scared. Now in Baltimore and New Orleans I've turned down streets and decide it was best to reverse out of them.

 

[Kurt off them percs]

I'm gonna have to agree

 

[that guy]

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

I feel you bruh but bmore is a whole different level. I’ve been around the world and bmore is like 3rd world country level of poverty. There are places in bmore that straight up feel like another planet. I mean entire blocks of boarded up vacants, no crackheads, no activity, just an eerie silence. Like will smith in I am legend. Ive seen trees growing out of abandoned row houses.

Bmore just like a lot of black cities is still recovering from the crack era. We are seeing the generation of the offspring of the crack baby era and nikkas is blaming it on the music

I don’t think black people comprehend just how destructive the crack era was to the black population in America. Life for black people prior to 1970 and after is like 2 totally different worlds. All of if by design.
