Is Compton, CA really as bad as it is said to be?

[krunchykrome]

Im just curious what it's really like there. Is it as bad as everyone makes it out to be?

Compton that is.

 

[Kwaipie]

I'd never live there.

From that site I can see the people in that area don't like to burglarize or rape people so much, but they love to kill them!

Richmond, CA is right up there w/ Compton.

I compared my city to Compton, and we apparently do like to rape and burgle LOL

The killing.... not so much.

My Dads work is close to Compton. I think its ok as long as you are there during the daytime... I wouldnt go anywhere near there at night though.

I don't think I'm stopping for red lights on Oakland either.

 

[BooGiMaN]

like all cities some parts arent that bad, a lot of areas are being built up other parts you wont make it down the block unless you know people that live there and they know you

they also have a casino thats not doing to bad financially

Holy crap, Detroit is WORSE

New Orleans isn't too hot either.

I use to play the Commerce Casino, which is basically in Compton. It's a rough place, man. It's just trashed....

Figures. If Detroit is worse then Compton then I would have no problem walking around that city day or night

How the holy hell are we that bad in the rape deal? RAPE

 

[thesurge]

I bet a lot of crime goes unreported (moreso than other cities?), hence disrupting the statistics...

LOL, you must have enjoyed the harbor area. The only cool places to visit in Baltimore is the harbor, fells point, and federal hill. The rest of the city, most of it, is just trashy and poor.

I enjoy all of it. I live near MICA

Makes me wish I was still living in Palos Verdes Estates again. Too bad I can't afford to buy a house there tough.

Besides those areas that I mentioned, Im just curious as to what else you like about Baltimore?

 

[Syringer]

It's better than our nation's capital in most categories..

[JulesMaximus]

It's a sh!thole. I wouldn't go there after dark...probably stay out of there during the daytime too.

 

[Wreckem]

Dallas beats out compton in everything by a large margine except murder and assault.

Lubbock has twice as many rape and a lot more theft. My guess is any college town would be similar.

It's just fun. Keep in mind, I'm from the middle of nowhere:

Cumberland, ME I'm actually from North Yarmouth, which they don't have in their database, probably because there was NO crime there. And I'm betting the only reason theft is prevalent is because everyone leaves their doors unlocked all the time. Haha

I'm used to living outside the city, never in the city. The harbor is nice. Being walking distance from Orioles stadium is nice. Actually having stuff to do after dark is nice. Not the safest of all cities (duh), but it's fun.

And having the best team in football is awesome too
