Compton is in a weird transition. Lots of latinos. One did a AMA on reddit and said you will be driving through Compton and see normal things like a guy cutting his grass, an old women unloading groceries, then turn and see a dude in the street firing off an AK47

He worked for Allied Chemical and in their corporate culcha at the time having to spend years at a shithole was how you built your resume there.
Paid off later for him.
And living anyplace that made Port Arthur, TX look good in comparison definitely qualified as a shithole.

At one time people set out into the wilderness and with hand tools and built homes and farms with raw manpower. They plowed the fields and used the stones they found to build fences that stand to this day. They grew things and made things and created things. Real things.
Survived and thrived.
Now society consumes so much but it’s empty, not filling. And we are left with this hole in us that many don’t even understand. You want to know why we are depressed, angry, bored, listless, etc.?
Because we are being fed shiny poison when deep down we really want true purpose. All this glitter and glammer isn’t real.

The Oakland and Detroit ones were really bad.
I want to see New Orleans, Camden, and East St Louis now.

The hoods are in the far south and north parts of the city. If downtown Memphis scares you, you either haven't been there in fifteen years or you get scared of Calgary downtown too.
True.
Memphis doesn’t have bad neighborhoods. The whole city is bad, with some good neighborhoods in a line along Union/Walnut Grove/Wolf River and Poplar Avenue.
Downtown is nice, but don’t go too far north or south.

What I always tell tourists about New Orleans is that what makes it unique is that the ghetto is so close to the nice areas.
Walk three blocks off St. Charles and there are blocks of nothing but flooded out crack dens.
There’s no safety net. Some of the worst public schools in the state are blocks from Newman.
Worst ghettos outside of NOLA I’ve seen are East St. Louis, parts of Memphis, North Baton Rouge.
Indian reservations can be pretty bad. Poorest white area is driving up to Arkansas from LA. Really poor white and black in southern Ark.
Harlem, the Muslim areas of Paris, third ward Houston, none of them are shite compared to Nola. I laugh at what people in Houston think a hood is.
Most ghetto place I’ve been internationally was some neighborhood in Athens. But it was more desolate than hood

Most scared I've ever been was coming home from vacation from Denver to Nashville. I have 3 young kids so I do my traveling early morning/late night while they sleep. Coming through St. Louis about 3 in the morning and missed the interstate. Ended up down around the arch and holy cow. To be a landmark you hear and see all the time as a kid. It was a third world country there.
Sitting at a red light with a car in front of me when all the sudden a black car pulls up and blocks the one in front of me across the intersection.They are arguing with each other and just knew they was fixing to start shooting. The black car finally just pulled off. Thank God they didn't.
I couldn't carry my protection because some states don't recognize my licence. Some bs

I always lol when Nola folks warn people about going to Europe.
It’s like some dude living in the Congo scared to go to Dubai or some shite.
People in Nola have lived around third world conditions they’re completely blind to how much worse it is than places they’ve never been to but hear about on the news or their shitty talk radio

Did you watch the whole thing? I love when he was interviewing a few of the locals and he asked them what would they like to see happen in their city. Dude said he'd like to see local rappers promoted more

In terms of feeling like a 3rd world shite hole, New Orleans is the worst I’ve seen in the US.
That also includes bad parts of Chicago, DC, Memphis, Oakland, Detroit, Houston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh (Hill district), and St Louis. All are embarrassingly bad, but New Orleans takes the cake - and it still surprises me how that can be just minutes away from nice, beautiful neighborhoods.

Some of the roads in that video looked like something I'd expect to see in Honduras

There’s no freeze/thaw cycle causing that. Just neglect.
You say the word “maintenance” in New Orleans, and city officials must look at you like you are an alien.

Yeah I've lived in Nola before and the roads are absolutely unbelievable. I grew up the BR area and ours are comparatively well maintained. I wonder why they don't fix them? Money shortage?
