"Pittsburgh: The French urge their citizens to avoid Mount Oliver, Hill District, Homewood-Brushton and Hazelwood."

Sound advise, although why any sane person would want to get to these neighborhoods is a mystery.

I know nothing about some of those cities, but the ones I do know about (LA, Baltimurder, Washington, Richmond) they’re pretty much right about.

“be wary of “petty crime” in Chinatown, the North End and Fenway.”

The worst crime in Fenway is that a beer cost $8.50 for a Coors Light. Import is $9.00.

LOL! My youngest daughter and her family live in Lakewood. I find a lot of people in the area “odd”, but never felt the place dangerous at all. Other parts of Cleveland? Not so much.
And Detroit Ave certainly does have few empty store fronts.

Is Memphis, TN on the list? Surely the Mogadishu on the Mississippi is on the list.

Some of the out-of-town guys who we beat up probably think it isn’t a very safe place but I know I’m surrounded by friends.

“Stay away from any Martin Luther King Boulevard”

In every city across the country!

You can get shot, stabbed or beaten to death by just driving through ours. You don’t dis them by entering their space. Fine by me... there is nothing there that I want or need.

Does America warn its citizens about cities to avoid in France?

Perhaps not, but they should.
Paris has neighborhoods and subneighborhoods that are just as dangerous as any American city you can name.

All Major French cities have analogues of the worst of the U.S.

LOL!

I saw a KDrama one time that had a scene in NYC where some Gangsta Thug pulled a gun out on a cop and the cop just acted all embarrassed.

And I can only assume they were played by Americans, you think we would know how a real cop would handle that situation.

This one had rednecks, drunks, fat rude people, a suspicious black cop, slutty blonde American girls, at least one black gangsta, lots of bikini clad Americans on a beach and a surfer dude who stole her bean powder and tried to snort it, turns out he was allergic too.

And the main female characters sister lives with a very abusive white guy in a wife beater t-shirt who hits her and makes her buy his beer and she has apparently become very tainted herself. and that trashy house looked like something off of “Next Friday” or something.

I probably missed some stuff too.
