I would much rather live in Juarez.

Parts of Philly are rough. Its rougher parts are really disgusting, but it's trashy all over. Even the supposedly safer neighborhoods in S. Philly are trashier looking than Juarez.
I suspect Baltimore is just as bad.

San Antonio hoods are probably some of the safest in the country for similar size cities.

The difference in litter is crazy. Philly was lined with it.

Agreed. That was a random reference

Juarez looks like an absolute hell hole near the El Paso border. I've never been to a Philly hood though.

I've seen bars on the windows and doors. Never seen the whole porch barred.

No, I think he's talking about the miserable and angry people everywhere, regardless of race. We take southern kindness for granted.

This guy produces some great raw footage. Here are some takeaways from the video:
Are we sure that’s a ghetto in Juarez? Or is it just Juarez?
One is obviously much cleaner than the other.
Juarez folks seem to be walking somewhere, with a sense of purpose. Philly folks just mill around and block traffic.
Philly folks still have the cellphones and relatively decent looking vehicles.

The really sad thing is Philly decides state-wide elections in Pennsylvania.

Philly is such a disgusting city. A lady was publicly raped on the Philly transit system a few years back and passengers stood around and did nothing to stop it and watched it happen while it was recorded. An absolute cesspool.
Even the most dystopian and graphic comic book doesn’t come close to the reality we live in now

Meh posting this as I sit in Juarez and it's honestly not that bad, and some areas are actually very nice. I've never felt unsafe here, which I can't say about living in NOLA, at minimum they at least have police here compared to NOLA.

Gotcha. Are you there on business, vacation, or are you living there?

tons of litter in Philadelphia, very little in Juarez

Have the reasonably priced dentists left Juarez, and are the steaks still great (that you can walk to, for a meal, from El Paso? It's been three decades since several visits to Juarez.
Visits to Philadelphia have been more recent as a friend lives near Flourtown, just over the city limits. We were awestruck by the architecture and workmanship that went into so many homes (made of stone) on the other side of the city limits. Sadly, it was easy to see the 'bones' of the houses because the landscaping was gone and the windows and doors missing. One Saturday we thought to drive from Chesnut Hill down to downtown. Husband was wrapped up in the architecture. I started feeling uncomfortable and pointed out the similarites with parts of NOLA, and would he drive in those neighborhoods on a Saturday afternoon. That simple question was enough for a turn around and retreat.

Let me see now…what political party has been in control of Philly for probably 70 years now? Certainly they should take the blame here. Yeah right! What a shithole. Total despair and zero hope for it to get better.

Quick, very true Juarez story.
We were at Bliss getting ready to mobilize and me and a few idiots decided it would be a great idea to go into Juarez and look for a donkey show.
We all pile into a cab and the driver is like, nah. We convince him and he takes us deep into Juarez and we walk into a very locals bar. As soon as we walk in, every eye shoots at our dumb asses.
I immediately walk to the bar and yell CERVESAS FOR EVERYONE, give them bartender 100 bucks and as everyone was cheering we GTFO.
One of the many dumb arse things I’ve done.

$100 very well spent. Worth remembering, in fact.
