re: Which is the most dangerous, the hood or backwoods area with meth trailers and shacks?

I accidentally wandered into the hood in NOLA one night looking for food. Was told by security to get out. Bad area looked dangerous.

Grew up in a hood. I saw shootings, gangs, racial violence, and of course lots of drugs.

I vote hood by shear volume of fricktards per square foot

Key word. Night time. In my experience (NBR) the hood sleeps from about 5:30 am until sometime in the early afternoon. You’ll see a few crackheads and hookers wandering around but in the morning it’s fairly safe, unless you are looking for trouble.

The ones that are up at that time usually have jobs or are just people trying to live their lives and not bother anyone.

Now if you are walking around with valuables and look like an easy mark, someone might try their luck. But by and large if you have a legit reason to be in the hood from 7-noon, you’ll come away unscathed

Facts. Being white in the middle of the hood isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. A college age white kid getting mugged/shot on one of the ave alphabets is gonna bring every single cop in the city down on that hood.

The deeper in the hood you go, the safer you are.

I have been in many of the worst neighborhoods in the country due to I used to executive produce a tv show on college football recruiting. Never had any issues whether it be New Orleans, Miami, Memphis, Los Angeles or even Detroit. Sure there were looks, but if they dont smell fear they leave you alone.

Have none of you idiots never seen Deliverance? No way in hell I would ever go into some backwoods known for tweekers for fear a group of meth heads may want me to squeal like a pig.

choose the hood all day err day over some place in the boonies where I'm not "from around here." In the hood most people ignore you if you mind your own business. In the wrong part of meth town you're going to get some Neo-Nazis asking WTF you're doing.

Weird take.

Congratulations on proving you're a complete rube. Literally citing sensational Hollywood plots as the reason you avoid an area, while everyone intelligent who disagrees with you can cite things from real life.

the thing is you really have to seek this out, or even know where to find it. it's not like the ghetto where you cross some railroad tracks or an overpass and all of a sudden there's crime.

it's probably a couple miles from town on a dirt road, with a 1/4 mile driveway

eta: or at least that's how it is in the midwest

Alone after dark?

In all seriousness, I can appreciate how hood people actually spend time outside and socializing.

It amuses me how there will be a bunch of junk chairs in a vacant lot surrounded by trash, and about lunch time it will be full of able bodied me just...sitting, shooting the shite, drinking out of brown paper bags.

When I worked on the river, in Edgard there is a barge cleaning plant.

Across the road from the cleaning plant was a gas station, and there were always a bunch of able bodied men drinking and smoking outside of it.

I’d have to go out there every so often to do some inspections, and the cleaning dock was bustling with hard working men, mostly black. I would talk to the guys and one of them drove 3 hours each way, lived in Mississippi. Good dude just supporting his family.

And it makes you think, this one guy will drive almost 6 hours every day to put food on the table, and these other mother frickers won’t even cross the damn road to get a job.

You can’t teach character, and it ain’t about race
