Yes...I thought Compton in 1990 looked pretty middle class to me. There are much worse hoods:

My hometown, Jackson Miss.

Cabrini Green
South Bronx
Bed Sty
East St Louis
Liberty City or Opalocka

etc.

When my father was doing a brief stint in LA back in 1970, he drove through South Central LA near the Watts Towers. He found it hard to believe that the "ghetto" in LA consisted of single-family homes with well-tended lawns. Keep in mind that my father is from Newark, New Jersey, so he knows what a REAL ghetto looks like.
