I wonder if that's part of why the arson in those neighborhoods was so bad.
Right. But would you say my other boundaries are correct more or less?
Lots of Dominican baddies as you mentioned in the OP.
All those little Dominican restaurants, too

No because riding the trains back in the day was a dangerous exercise in of itself. Nowadays not having a train there hurts because it means you can only do but so much to make the area attractive.
The arson was bad in general because it was more profitable to burn the buildings down and collect insurance instead of trying to fix buildings up to sell them to nobody. Now it's obviously more profitable to try to build up these spots and offer them as "cheaper" alternatives to displaced people from other boroughs.

It was definitely a short sighted move in my opinion. The NYC government at the time was trying to cut spending but it backfired pretty bad.
And burning down the buildings was also short sighted, if the landlords just held on a little longer they would have been fine.
I think it was mostly the Manhattan style "tenement" buildings in the South/Central Bronx that were burned down, but quite a few of those large 50+ family buildings in the West Bronx were burned down too. The latter especially are worth a lot of money.
I watched an interesting documentary about this topic from 1977, the South and Central Bronx were already in ruins and the arson was spreading to Morris Heights, which was a middle class area at the time. Out of the two buildings on fire in the documentary, one of them was razed and replaced with those suburban style rowhouses, the other was repaired and still exists today.

I love streets like these with the historic houses and big buildings on the same block. I wish I could buy one of those houses before they're all 1 million + dollars
