ghettotracker.com - website that helps you avoid dangerous parts of town

You can get the crime data yourself.

It isn't based on crime data.

It's pretty easy here in CT.

Just about any major city = ghetto with VERY few decent areas that I still wouldn't want to live in. Even if you do live in a good area your kids still end up in shitty public schools.

I have a feeling this applies to just about any state.

Moral of the story, stay away from cities hehe

Haha, everyone who comes out says "let's go see Hartford tonight" and I'm like ahhh, no, no let's not do that. This is not NYC :biggrin:

I don't understand white people.

Fear-based marketing is what sells people this.

Gawker is just such a horrible website that somehow manages to have less journalistic integrity than the National Inquirer, TMZ, and Parez Hilton combined.


I think it's a good idea. Lets be honest here that most cities have a place you just don't go. Especially if your an out-of-towner. Toronto has Jane & Finch, LA has South Central, Detroit has, well, Detroit. I think we all want to be safe when we travel to an unfamiliar destination.

Of course Gawker has to pull the race card. I'll be the one to call a spade a spade and say that a lot of these bad parts of town do have a lot in common. Lets just say I'd feel safe walking through any China Town but not 8 Mile. Then I question the liberals what they're doing to fix it. Silence. There, quit crying. If you're not part of the solution...

Exactly, how is this any different than a travel guide telling you areas to avoid because you'll probably be mugged? I think the thing that set everything off was having the name Ghetto in it, because that has racial undertones in our culture.

Good lord. Jews need to get over that already. That was 70 years ago ffs.

Well, it's the same for anyone. I lived next to a trailer park for awhile growing up and the term was "white trash" or "trailer trash". And we did have a much higher rate of crime than other places I've lived. So it just depends on where you live I guess - the hood, the ghetto, the slums, trailer park, whatever. They all have reputations that go along with them, justified or not.

And I say no to NYC as well (even more so than Hartford hehe)

Haha! Well, it's like if a tourist came to the US - I'd rather take them somewhere like Farmington to see the museums and culture and whatnot instead of downtown Hartford at night. Although I won't say the nightlife here isn't, shall we say, exciting :awe: (not to make light of someone's death, but 2 shootings in a row, yikes!!)
