What are some surefire ways to tell you've entered a bad neighborhood?

[makadelic]

This is a pic posted from the sheriff's station where I grew up. Doesn't really prove anything about bad neighborhoods but just LOL. That doughnut shop always had prostitutes out front.

LOL in on subtle racist thread. I work at a low-income health clinic in the ghetto, these pics are spot-on. Also lots of abandoned buildings

Tattoo places

Grown men on BMX bike...



Just LoL @ MLK Blvd... so much truth, sadly.

No grocery stores

Lots of indoor furniture on the front yard

Small kids out after 10pm

Random shopping carts on the medians

Have to leave your bag at the front when shopping

Trees have no leaves despite being in the middle of summer (seriously is the ground acidic in ghettos wtf??)
Clean water charged at a premium

The amount of trash you see on the ground.

In nice places people have the decency not to throw **** out of their window, and the cities cleans chit up.

[Aesthetical]

When people refuse to walk on the sidewalks
Constant J walking and profanity when you almost hit them
Bail Bond- Lawyer Storefronts across from Police Station
Youths huddled up in front of the corner store staring you down as you drive by
MLK Boulevard
Run down laundromat
Beamers parked in affordable housing
Long grass and weeds whenever there might be some green space
Basketball hoops with no nets

This is what I see everyday on the way to work lulz

These signs that don't actually mean anything.

We have a smaller version of this sign posted in our quiet suburban neighborhood. I've alerted the authorities on multiple occasions, but in the ghetto, that = snitches get stitches

[YUL]

Weeds growing between cracks in the sidewalk or road

[yeshli2nuts]

Any store where the cashier/clerk is behind bullet proof glass.

[Rayaarito]

Iff youre in New York:
There's a fried chicken spot
Streets are named after dead presidents
Section 8 housing
Bullet proof windows at fast food restaurants

[Clives_Bicep]

Never understood this notion of southern rednecks being dangerous. As a foreigner I'd feel much safer in Alabama than somewhere like Baltimore.

they're not. He's just spitting his usual liberal bull****.

When a group of 10 shirtless teenagers throw their hands up and walk towards my car, for simply driving on the road next to them

Stop pretending like theres no southerners who do the same chit as urban youths when they see somebody who doesnt look like them enter their turf.

[MaiGainsbrough]

[sooby]

can confirm



If you see a MoneyMart or anything similar where they advertise payday and loans on literally every block you know you've entered a bad neighbourhood.

How I keep track is.

If there are more than 2 "MoneyMarts" per square mile radius then I got to get the fuk out
