"Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven..."
New Haven’s #4. A few more multiple, simultaneous OD’s on the town green and maybe it can move up the list.
Not that I think Camden is anything but a craphole, but most of Chelton Avenue has been demolished and rebuilt. The place pictured, if that is Chelton Ave in Camden does not look like that at all. It looks new and clean.
I remember the 1960s, and many of the areas destroyed by LBJ’s URBAN RENEWAL projects looked better than these eyesores left standing today.
And Baltimore.
New York, downstate. If people are leaving NY in droves then clearly it’s not that great, as Cuomo has made it worse.

Anyone tell me what’s happening in modesto
Where’s DC? Where’s San Francisco,where maps are printed showing where bums and junkies have $hit on the sidewalks?
Just 12?
Legit.
The common denominator appears to be cities run by extremely corrupt Rats. I agree with another FReeper, how can Chicago NOT be on this list?
There is not- and can never be- a nice, progressive city whose majority citizens are a, poor, criminal, minority underclass dependent on the US government to survive.Demographics explains all.
I used Google Maps to try to find the location of the photo in Camden, NJ. As was mentioned, the city demo’d the entire block and beyond. Even the street is gone. Only the smokestack in the background stands in an empty field a block to the north.
Here it is from the exact same perspective as of 2017:
Not even urban anymore. Back to wilderness.
Depressing picture. I can’t imagine living in a neighborhood like that.
