How "Ghetto" Is Your Nieghborhood..?
 

Well in my case...

...It's the entire town I live in, other than the really rich mother fuckers who think they are better than everybody.

Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada.

Meth capital of Canada...we have the nickname Drunken Valley, the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Alberta, an uneducated population...and me making the paper for my book was the most positive exciting thing that happened in town since...well, ever.

It's a shitty town...not gonna lie to ya.

Anyway...

I was bored.

the mentality here is more "ghetto" than anything...

About 5 hours ago the shop a few doors down from my place was robbed. a bunch of peopel stabbed,two dead and the guy was shot 4 times by police.

We have the highest teen suicide rate in the world. We have the highest methanphetamine addictions in the world. We have the highest child murder rate in our country. Unsure about murder rate cause alot go unheard of.

Fuck I love my local. Never going to leave :)

*eats fucked up area cookie*

ghetto doesnt = full of crime.
I hope you people know that.

My local isnt ghetto. We normal :)

man where i live there is no hood...i live in a small place not too many people live around me..... a lot of old people :( but there fun too get stuff from

nope theres no ghetto involved in my place of rest.....

Well Some People Board Their Windows Up Near Me

*Holla's*

word there are tons of stabbings in the clubs around here, and quite a few robberies but my city is by no means ghetto

Detroit is VERY ghetto.
ask ANYBODY that ever been here.
but I rise from the slums.

Philly's aight...nothing to much out here...but tons of crime i can say that...but ghetto...hmm...i guess you can say that about Philly...

People from london may think i'm lying but yeah shit's nice and peaceful in my part of south london...

theres quite alot of crime goes on round here. alot of heroin addicts and crack addicts, some gun and knife crime, thats slowly increasing round here, alot of shops get robbed, i know theres been fights involving gangs with baseball bats metal pipes n shit like that, a few cases of kids being cut up with macheti's(sp?) by rival gang members, as for my area, heres a view up the street from my bedroom window, u decide for yourself

what part of south london????

that looks like my neighborhood

Before joining the discussion, I'm curious...can "ghetto" still be used as a synonym for dilapidated (fucked up) and/or a loosely created makeshift contraption?

Yes.
it's considered slang.

"damn, yo car is ghetto"
that means
"your car is fucked up"

Fucks so ghetto about that?

Thanks. Well, the specific area of my neighborhood I live in isn't really ghetto, but my town can be that way sometimes. Like last year, this kid Nathan I knew got his station wagon broken into. It was just a simple smash n' grab, but they took out one of his back windows, and stole his $700+ system, somehow pulling it off right in front of school. The window, however, was easily replaced by a garbage bag. So when we'd go to lunch and someone already called "shotgun", 2 of the other 3 passangers would have to call either "window" or "plastic" if they wanted to avoid sitting in the middle.

^lmfao, who knows.
I guess thats considered the "slums" in the UK.

was this thread titled "show that your area is ghetto" ???? no it was titled "how ghetto is your neighbourhood?" learn to read moron, and ghetto meaning fucked, old buildings, fucked up roads and paths old street lamps most of which dont work, half the lights in the blocks of flats(apartment blocks for you americans) dont work, the block i live in had a huge hole in the roof for atleast 18 months before the council came out to fix it... and your only seeing the ouskirts of the are i live in, the blocks u see, thats where its worse, or behind the one i live in, out of the way, dark and dirty, mainly cos thats where the junkies go to shoot up... but well done on judging an area you only seen one picture of, moron

Oh, and in addition to this car being a green station wagon, there was also spray paint across the side that read "Pimp Mobile", and the box to "Girls Gone Wild: Doggystyle" serving as a decoration for the front dashboard.

and i never once claimed this area was one of the worse areas in the country, if you want the real slums, check up places like croydon, hackney, nottingham, chapletown, west bowling(or just the city "bradford" in general), liverpool, or then u got places like glasgow, fuck an american, u want to see deep shit, go to glasgow, my family would happily show you how it goes down there(yes my dads side of the family come from glasgow), i could keep listing places but yeah

how the hell was he supposed to know if thats all he seen?

EXACTLY!!!!!

he has seen one picture, and he makes out like that is how the entire area looks... anybody from any kind of "slum" will tell you, the further into it you go, the worse it gets

My hood is clean and safe with friendly ppl everywhere.

...its way more fun than getting shanked in a dirty unsafe alley with mean ppl everywhere.

:thumbup:

detriot is pretty fucked up lol...

chicago is same i seen the same shit in both.....

cept i live in chicago so i seen more...i use to live in the ghetto but i moved out aint as bad more rich ppl then poor,....

now....... are we talkin like jewish holocaust ghettos? or wat?

chicago is really cleanin up....... u seen wat happened to cabrini, tearin down all the projects...... it might work

I live in a no name place with niggas who try to act hard, some kids have nines, tryin to make others think they hard, we have some bloods, crips, kids who have connections, some no name gangs, MOK, the bathroom is neva a safe place, cus that's where all the jumpin happens, kid got fucked up there cus he wasn't a blood but had a red bandanna, shit like that...

Cool.

My town has the highest rate of drug users per capita for coke, crack, meth, oxy cotton, e-bombers, and shrooms.

It's only 2 hours away from Winnipeg, so every drug that goes to the big city from the east hits us first, and all the dealers that live here bring anything that comes from the west to Winnipeg home to our town so there is constant drug flow here and everybody is fucked up.

We also have mega prostitutes @ like age 14-17 doing anything for drugs, or alcohol.

And the only thing to do here if you aren't into drugs is to get drunk, which is also considered a drug. I live in one of the most ghetto places in Canada. Word-life.

Yeah, now all they need to do is add a second floor to the Berghoff. :)

lol yo leady i'm from the one peaceful part of croydon in south london

on the outskirts of the warzone lmao

Queen City = 95% native population... Average family income is barely above poverty levels... Mainly cause "family" doesn't mean "family" here. There usually aren't families, theres single moms tryin to care for like 6 kids...

yea.....but that means all the gang banger will just go sumwere else lol


naw but its cleaning up

thank god...makes r city look like shit

lol, ill be in croydon in a couple months when my boy leeo shoots his new video

I fucking hate the junkies in horsforth.

That shit pisses me off so much.

my areas crazy man. Niggaz walk around with rocket launchers and Grenades. And if you look at somone the wrong way. they rape your family then kill you. Its fuckin nuts.

If you believed me, Shame on You

'Anywayz my areas pretty bad. you can't walk around if your unkown you'll get jumped or killed. Theres gangs on every street. bloods down one street. crips down the other. LOL ive never seen an area where so much people steal cars or shit in cars in my life. Everyday mad cars get stolen. I see my boiz with a new one very day. But yeah this areas pretty rough.

Yo, I'll tell yall something right now, no one in this thread talkin aobut their hood is real, period end of story. You wanan brag about the ghetto? You gotta be fuckin kidding me, the shit we did would to get by would have been humilliating had anyone else seen us, on top of that the shame of even BEING there and forced to live there in that smelly hideous hell. No one from a REAL ghetto would be proud of that. Period.

word. we was jus talkin bout this bout bad times, and how we tryin to forget bad times, and kids now think its dope to brag about it. I'm makin sure my kids NEVER have to see none of that... word.
