Manhattan, Staten Island, Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Worst Areas, and Why?

to add on to lili s staten island. bad neighborhoods: mariners harbor, parkhill, stapleton, south beach projects, new brighton, west brighton. since alot of people dont know bout staten, they are tryin to get as bad as they could. so dont go through the neighborhood i listed or ull get sticked for wats on u.

manhattan:1. harlem (east and central): harlem has actually gotten a lot better, with some parts going through gentrification. however, it can still be a bit sketchy at night and there are still a good number of robberies, and gun shooting going on in some parts of harlem.2. washington heights: same as harlem, gotten a lot better but there can still be some negative activities going on.brooklyn:1. east new york2. brownsville3. bed-stuy4. crown heightsall these brooklyn neighborhoods are high in crime and still have a lot of gang activities. although some parts of bed-stuy is going through gentrification, it is still a questionable neighborhood. these neighborhoods are mostly consist of a high concentration of government public housing. brooklyn is a great borough but stay away from the east side of brooklyn, where these neighborhoods are located. bronx:bronx is the least desirable borough although the areas in north bronx are quite pleasant and prestigious. any neighborhood in south bronx is dangerous, high in crime and have gang activities. the neighborhoods in south bronx are residential but are very runned down and very sketchy during the night. queens:there is a section of Jamaica in queens that can be quiet shady, but nothing compare to south bronx and the aformentioned brooklyn neighborhoods.staten island:not too sure. staten island is the borough that is the least acknowledge and have the least association with nyc. staten island takes after the suburban lifestyle of new jersey or long island.
