The east has nothing.

The problem is "The East" is this massive stretch of average nothingness. No jobs, not much retail, no real reason to want to go there, etc.

The East isn't particularly unsafe... it just looks horrible. The East is basically a collection of "Good" Section 8 tenants, who don't destroy their rentals and kill people, but don't have enough money to live anywhere else, and the slum lords know they can let it go to hell.
