Camden, NJ 48th worst? Obviously the whole article is crap.

Newark isn’t there either. It’s absolutely, positively CRAP!

I've been around much of the country and this is a pretty good listing of worst places. Most of the big cities (like New York, Boston, Chicago) are great to live in if you can afford it. Of course some bad areas in all the big cities but generally you can completely avoid the bad areas if you live in the better areas. There are probably lifetime residents of Manhattan who have never set foot in places like Brownsville (Brooklyn) or Hunt's Point (Bronx). I've been to Chicago multiple times and have yet to set foot in the areas that are getting all the shootings.

There are some cities however where you can't escape the awfulness. Waterbury, CT; Lawrence, MA; Camden, NJ are examples of that. I'm surprised Bridgewater, CT wasn't on the list.

No one in their right mind would want to live in **Camden**!! The only people still left in the city can't find the means to leave or are too stoned or drunk to care.
