The whole _______(name of a city) is bad, and you should stay the fuck out of it crap. Long story short, these two people I work with were discussing where they live and are from, they asked me, I gave my response, and then said "Oh, that sucks, I'm sorry" I got the same bs when I went to college, and I can't stand it. Where I live is not trashy or bad. Are there a few streets you should avoid, yes, but the whole city isn't like that. But I feel a lot of this has to do with the fact that 40% the population is of color, and/or low income to working class, while the outlining areas are the product of white middle class flight. Does it even matter that the current mayor is trying to clean up the few bad areas, and the image at all?? You have no problem giving credit to places like Beacon or Kingston, when they do it, but ignore my city, GO FUCK YOURSELVES.
