CONNECTICUT'S LARGEST CITY / BRIDGEPORT'S WORST HOODS

[@penelopeichihime7147]

I used to live in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Despite being ghetto, it defiantly was better than any of the worst hoods like Philadelphia, St Louis, south side Chicago, Detriot, and so on. It is typical major CT city that is past its glory days.

[@ahuras238]

Tearing down a bunch of the projects in the 90s definitely helped. I think they shipped them off to waterbury

[@scottbrenham1341]

the only nice area of Bridgeport is in the black rock section as you gradually get closer to the coast. it takes millions of dollars and interested developers to clean that up. Boston as whole looks better.

[@brandonbell5357]

Nah

[@bextar6365]

Who and what people are destroying these cities and towns ?? Is it the Italians or Polish people ?

[@NOXX1985]

Im from this city born and raised. My grandmother told me during the 50s it was a great city with New York likeness to it and once drugs and uprise of violence came in the 60s,70s and 80s especially .. The city hasnt recovered much like any other big city with its crime. Some ppl in the comments say it doesn't look so bad, yeah neither does Compton with it's nice looking cookie cut neighborhoods with palm trees but go to Compton and find out then 💯 .. Same thing with Bridgeport .. Come visit and find out 🗣

[@dapperdonny4051]

The other problem is the registered voters of Bridgeport, who, election year after election year, continued to vote Democrat. Over and Over. Two former Mayors were sentenced to jail. When the people vote in corrupt politicians into office in city council, they attack big business (manufacturing). So the factories slowly close up, lay off their employees and pack up and move down South or Overseas. Then hundreds even thousands of people go on unemployment insurance for 26 weeks, and when that runs out, they sell Crack and other illegal narcotics. The problem just snowballs from there. Bridgeport was the manufacturing capital of New England several decades ago. Now that is forever gone.

it's actually strange Bridgeport is in the wealthiest County in Connecticut. nice towns west of there.I live in the neighboring state of Massachusetts worcester ended looking pretty rough as well as some others.

[@scottbrenham1341]

a lot of industrialized towns and cities in America ended up looking pretty rough. in massachusetts especially in Middlesex County it's going in the opposite direction you have earn enough to buy or rent and the renovated apartment buildings so far look nice. average $2,000 -$3,000 a month for rent. keeping the trouble out.

Most of those cars have been abandoned over a decade ago and have hobos an prostitutes living and, "working," out of about half of them. The city can not afford to get these derelict cars towed and as scrapped. Thus, the prostitutes use the old vans as, "honeymoon suites," and the hobos use some as toilets and others as motel rooms.

[@SN-nu9kx]

CT has dangerous areas but it also has a lot of beautiful and safe areas. Overall, the state has a crime rate which is lower than national average. Outside of the NE and NW corners, the state is heavily urbanized/suburbanized so it’s not uncommon to be driving through a neighborhood with million dollar homes then you take a right and are now in the hood.
