    Jersey City, NJ. What a fucking shithole. Cannot believe I didn't get shanked in broad daylight.

    It's now the Bellevue of NYC. God bless gentrification.
    I must have been in the wrong part. The really shitty part.

    South end of Watts because it looked like it had just been bombed and i was searching the sky for enemy planes.

    I've had groups of gang members see me in my UC vehicle and start flipping me off and throwing signs. I flipped them off. I had a submachine gun in my lap so it wasn't me that should have felt unsafe.

    Assuming there was one of you, you were definitely the one who should have felt unsafe.

    Atlanta can get sketchy real quick.

    Check on New Orleans. Stick tightly to the chamber of commerce trail map for tourists or you're asking for it.

    Not what they once were, but Overtown, Liberty City or Carol City in Miami. Back in the day, there was nothing like it. They've softened a bit, but I still would not be caught walking through even in daylight.

    NY - uh, none of the boroughs are tuff anymore. None.

    Lolz for any mention of anything Seattle. Tuffest neighborhood in the NW is Hilltop baby. Ask Ballz. Seattle is like Disney World compared to most US cities.

    Worst I've experienced? Wandering off the campus of the University of Chicago. South Side baby! It ain't no joke.

    I told a wrong turn, walking, out of the MARTA in pre-smartphone days. I didn't feel exactly unsafe but extremely out of place. I tapped out, called a cab, and found I was just a few blocks from the high-rise office I was headed to.


    Most unsafe, quite easily, is Crow Agency, Montana.

    edit, that's behind Salem & Eugene of course.
