  • Top 10 Worst neighborhoods in the United States. Chicago isn't on this list.
    .
    Oddly enough a lot of cities in the United States that you assume are the worst, statistically speaking just aren't. Chicago is a perfect example.
    Thanks for stopping by The world according to Briggs, I make lists. Not just lists of random stuff, I make them about states, cities, towns and other places in the United States. I post 3 times a week and sometimes live stream. Enjoy.

      He showed 2 blocks in Whitman Park and he need to get he's facts straight. Nobody's getting shot every day, graduation rate is way higher than he stated , not where it should be but waaaaaay better than he said , and rent is not cheap. That's why I know someone told him that bullshit instead of doing the research himself. I live in Camden , I don't live in Whitman Park, I have family that live there so I have first hand knowledge of the goings on there. He also failed to mention that they're white folks who live in the Whitman Park area that's been there 40-50 years I guess his people didn't tell that part.. If it was that bad them white folks would have left along time ago. FACTS!!!!!!!!!😠😠😷😷

    Being born and raised in Detroit i can tell you that people brag about being from these places because that's all you have. Thinking positive isn't an option because there is nothing positive about living in these areas. The only way to fix these places is to change the way these people think. School, opening a business, etc isn't something that these people can fathom. The Marine Corps is how I got out and changed my way of thinking. We need to somehow make these people believe in the American dream. That anyone from anywhere can make it if you put in the work. No amount of government hand outs will fix anything going on in these communities. What they need is information about different avenues to become successful.

      It all starts with education. Downtrodden people can't start new and competitive businesses (to create local jobs and thus increase overall prosperity of the region) without knowledge of 1) how to operate a business and 2) innovation to become competitive. In order to get that knowledge, education is required. The biggest problem is that people in these regions are ignorant (and I don't say "ignorant" to denigrate them, just ignorance in the general sense of lacking knowledge and awareness) that they don't even realize that they should be demanding (with pitchforks and torches in hand) local and state government investment in public education. The neglect of public education in the US should be viewed as criminal.

    Totally agree about the single parent statement. I'm so proud of my mom. After my father left, the only place we could afford was in a terrible neighborhood. She worked three jobs to get us out of there and into a better area. She used to tell me that no one should look at us or hear us and know we were poor. Just because you don't have money doesn't mean that you can go around without common decency and manners.

    Rochester, NY suffers from a steady and dramatic decline in opportunities for those who live in the city itself. I live in the suburbs and never go into the city. Starting in the early 1990's businesses started moving out of the city at such a high rate that there now is effectively no industry left in the city itself. The surrounding suburbs that house the universities now also have all of the businesses for the area. It's like each suburb is its own small city. Those who are left in the city now must travel to the burbs for work.

    I have been through Detroit on several occasions and count myself fortunate to have escaped unharmed. I got lost and called my office for help. She wanted an intersection to know exactly where I was. I looked up and told her 5 mile and Woodward and she shouted over the phone *GO NORTH NOW!* and I was freaked out. She said not to stop at red lights if you see "windshield washers" head out to you when you slow down and if you see a crime, just turn your head and keep going. It was like a movie escape.

      Those that benefit from welfare the most are White citizens. However, investment or tax dollars are not removed from White neighborhoods, giving more of an appearance of being better as those in White neighborhoods receive the assistance. Another example is Wall Street, which receives welfare but is classified as supplement income. In other words, if welfare dollars are give, while removing investment and tax dollars for infrastructure, you will end up with "bad neighborhoods." This is done purposely so the powers that be can move into that neighborhood for cheap, bringing investment and tax dollars. Running people of that community out. This is the pattern of U.S.A. neighborhoods.

    I'm from Cleveland Ohio but my family moved to Minnesota when I was young. Never been to Cincinnati, but every year or 2 we visit my extended family back in Cleveland. There are literally clothes I cannot wear there, either because they are too nice or because they may be perceived as gang association. The street my grandma lives on looks like it is stuck in time in the 1970s. It is very common to see boarded up windows on dilapidated buildings. Stray dogs and cats run rampant. One time I was with my mom and grandpa in a car. My grandpa stopped at a gas station and I hopped out of the car to smoke a cigarette. By the time I got halfway through the cigarette, 3 different people walked up to me and asked me for a cigarette. One guy even came from across the street. I gave the last guy the rest of my cig and hopped back in the car.

    There are loads of bad places in the US that used to be nice but as companies move overseas for cheaper labor there are going to be loads more. I've been all around this country and when I rode my motorcycle around it I visited a bunch of out of the way towns with familiar names. HOLY MOLY, this country and its people are hurting.

    Honestly, I live in New Jersey. We are only a couple towns away from Camden, and we try to avoid it all together. My grandmothers old house was in collingswood, New Jersey, and she said one time she heard gun shots, and my father said his bike was stolen from inside his house.

    One of the other problems is that when the older people move out, or it pass away, their kids just want to dump the property and sell it for next to nothing. Allowing any kind of riffraff to move in.

    #10 Rockford, IL I went to JUCO (Jr College) there (Rockvally) to play football. We went to a party off campus and a fight broke out after. And the guy that was shooting was standing, yes standing on the hood of my friends car while we was sitting in it shooting at some dudes with his back turned to us. This was 2008.
