It’s not a hell hole, there’s a few ‘hoods. The burbs are fine. the outlying south east burbs are very nice.

It’s not a hell hole
BS. I've lived here for over 40 years and this city sucks. If being the (per capita) murder capital of NYS isn't a hell hole, what is?

A few hoods?? Rochester have a horrific murder rate. My 90 year old mother was robbed IN HER HOME at gunpoint. They made my sister crawl AT GUNPOINT to get their purses etc.. Walk city streets like when I was a kid?? NEVER!! I roll up my car windows when I drive through it. There are a few good areas but generally...It’s one scarey city.
