New York City vs Chicago vs Philadelphia Ghettos

school these fools man ....philly is a normal big city...not like nyc which rip the common person off with very high rent..$2800 -$3300 for a one bedroom or studio in midtown...philly you talking a $1000 or less that's why when I moved from philly to NYC everyone on my job were crying about their rent and living 3 and four in one apt. philly has strong culture NYC is a sloppy mess because a city can have far too many people and becomes confused of its identity. NYC today is basically a tourist and hipster yuppie town..old new York is gone

C- Philadelphia88 I'm thinking aesthetically. Decaying architecture​, reminders of what was. The history, Abandoned houses etc. Obviously the ghetto isn't beautiful.

New York finally is getting their act together. Once apon a time New York was hell on earth. The bronx was known as the bronx is burning and home of fort apache (corrupt police station). Harlem was where everyone in the country went to get their crack and heroine. And brooklyn made detroit look like Beverly Hills. The bronx till this day holds the record for the most arson ever committed in the world. But through all this crime we made hip hop,Harlem shake etc etc. the world looks down at ghettos but New York looked like wwII hit it but something came from that and that was art. New York has had a huge facelift compared to wat it was in the 70s and 80s. And the crime in New York in the 90s was terrible. But it has had a dramatic facelift. Probably the biggest ghetto facelift the world has ever seen

[@anathompson2805]

I live in Chicago and all of the houses that were shown from here in this video are abandoned.

[@terucks]

Interesting video.... Shows that every low income housing areas have the same capacity BUT very different. New York has high rising buildings (with fire escapes), Chicago housing is more suburban and has large land space and nature, and philly is more congested, with close connected houses that is similar like NEW York & Chicago, but smaller. Every time I travel I don't always hang out downtown, but enjoy I go to every neighborHOODS to see the real vibe and real people in that city. I live in Chicago Southside, I must say our low income home areas look more suburban. It look totally different than it did a decade ago since they tore down every the high rising projects especially Cabrini Green. I mean you would think a middle class family would live in these areas. But like these cities, all of them have GREAT places to hang out and live and this doesn't show the overally morale of the city. Had a pleasure to visit Philly on my birthday a year ago, looking forward to visit New York especially.

Terry E. Rucks Here's what I've noticed from looking at slum areas of Detroit or Chicago. It's either inner city or an urban area full of smaller buildings and it kind of looks like a low income place, or it's a neighborhood type of place, looks kinda like the suburbs area but poorer.

Chicago more violent asf they ur city goofy

[@alexandermcg2061]

Philly by a long shot. However, I would venture to say that Newburgh, NY is the most aesthetically fucked up place in America. Cincinnati's inner city is pretty bad too. All these cities have a lot of housing stock from the early-mid 1800s that truly exhibits urban decay, as opposed to the kind of thing you see in a lot of midwest cities where so many houses just collapse and you have an urban prairie situation like in Detroit or St Louis (which are actually much more dangerous). For the best example of early-mid 1800s architecture in decay, see the center city of Colon, Panama.

Been to all these three cities, especially NYC. Honestly, I think Chicago in my experience has been roughest ghetto out of these three. A lot of people on here say Philadelphia’s ghetto is worse than the other two, but my best guess is probably because one thing I noticed there is a lot of trash on the sidewalks and streets there.

[@syndicatecruze5981]

8 million stories New York

[@lex6794]

New York has more hoods than Philly or Chicago combined maybe. Its a lot bigger than both of those cities. Been threw Philly, those small 2 to 3 story row homes don't look bad to me at all, I seen the same buildings in the suburbs. The amount of ghettos are countless in NYC. The streets are long as hell, deep streets and go on forever. Those big tall tower project buildings with 80 to 100 families living in them are the worst looking. It could be like 30 buildings, and that looks crazy. Chicago has some similar buildings. In the 80's NYC, no city comes close to the amount of Decay and vacant buildings, even modern day Detroit is paradise compared to back then in NYC.

Chicago is the best of all three. 😊 the most popular city.!!!😘

[@onemillionpercent]

+maria gonzales ....most popular of these three? nah. that's NYC.

[@keithtorpey44]

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard, Philadelphia is the most popular. It was capital of the United states once , read a fucking book

[@BlackNapoleon]

+Keith Torpey still the MOST POPULAR is NYC

[@frank215_6]

no way ,Philadelphia has way more history so its more famous

[@CPTcakester117]

+Keith Torpey I live in philly, I love philly too, but NYC is most popular just cause more people hear about it at least as a good tourist destination, but anybody smart knows philly is the best outta all 3

[@nickhuysen4643]

My city New York isnt that bad tbh..✌

[@Lv_nyc]

Yes it is stupid depends where you’re at

[@zaki.aka.bostic99]

If there anything worse in nyc projects is brownsville i don't think the projects in philly are that bad

[@kylep6609]

Living in the backwoods and country is better than living in the city you have big partys shoot guns drive down the roads real fast ride dirtbikes and atvs grow some homegrown good stuff make some moonshine

[@Urbenxx]

Amazing, check out my new video, where do you get they beats from?

[@AaronG1221]

Thanks I just watched yours it was great. I get all the beats from youtube some of them I actually listen to the artist and the other ones I just choose cause I know the artist is from that particular city.

[@jameswest6479]

***** I lived in all 3 cities, nyc was the worst in terms of the city has 8 million ppl ,therefore ppl really try to avoid getting to know one another, the cops are horrible ,just looking to screw with you, philly is my city, ppl are friendly and there are a lot of artist, the culture there is much more realistic than nyc,/ Chicago I found was laid out very well, its architecture is much more modern and the housing is great...but it's the Midwest and downtown practically goes to sleep around 7 or 8 except for rush st and the mag mile...this video is not valid because you cant compare philly and chi with a mega city(nyc)

[@215Christ]

LEX fuck outta here..I ain't come up around shit that was nice.

[@phillyguy2157]

+LEX philly people are very tough...new York people just like to talk a lot and always like to ram that new York crap down your throat...new Yorkers always like to talk about that they are from new York...but when you visit them they live in a high rise project building when kanye west was about to get ribbed and shit by some new Yorkers as they were waiting for him to leave a restaurant... who came to his rescue??....a philly by the name of Benny segal the rapper Benny told him to eat his food and he got his back...that's philly for you and the new Yorkers backed off ..why?..because they knew that philly dude did not take no sh*t

[@phillyguy2157]

+Jerry Barnes really ha-ha..and you call yourself a gangster..not by that same sex marriage video that's in your KZbin history...lol busted .? ...you visit same sex videos than try to act gangster on this video..?nah you ain't from new York..you're a bitch..go back to that same sex marriage video you been on

[@anthonyrademacher8740]

Phillys just like old ny

[@nickcampbell8277]

Should’ve did the worst hoods from the cities. I’m from Kensington. That’s Philly. Nun to be proud of. Got people OD’d is a common sight on the streets, lots of destroyed buildings. Kensington like the real purge

[@cooldog60]

Detriot makes these places look like a resort.

[@donnelladams8362]

Look up Kensington in Philadelphia that place will give Detroit a run for it's money
