Of cities? Or perhaps it's just the cities that I know. What cities do you know of where it's the south side? ...I mean I'm sure there are exceptions, for instance the north part of NYC (at least Harlem) is the 'bad part' but everywhere else it seems to be a rule.

L.A., Phoenix, Tucson, Chicago

10/30/2008 2:50:50 PM

the southside of baltimore is the best side

10/30/2008 2:51:40 PM

SE is the worst part of DC.

10/30/2008 2:52:17 PM

South Rocky Mount = Nasty.
South Raleigh = Not so great either.

This theory checks out.

10/30/2008 2:52:34 PM

i always thought it had to do more with railroad tracks



(or maybe that's just rocky mount)

10/30/2008 2:52:41 PM

Well East L.A. isn't exactly great...but South L.A. is known to be worse...

10/30/2008 3:02:09 PM

not the case with South Charlotte.

10/30/2008 3:04:08 PM

the south side of most cities is typically where the growth is. Raleigh is an exception as it's bordered by towns to the south

they're both pretty bad. i do think SE is worse though. i only go to eastern market and back. hooray for NW!

10/30/2008 3:05:58 PM

they're both shitholes

10/30/2008 3:08:23 PM

They both ahve their god and bad parts

it just depends on if you're in the real America, or fake America

10/30/2008 3:09:10 PM

TRIPLE POST SUSPENDERS

10/30/2008 3:09:24 PM

E Durham is the worst. S Durham is fine.

10/30/2008 3:12:30 PM

Cause Canadians don't emigrate?

10/30/2008 3:40:14 PM

north charlotte is pretty shit.

so is the west end in atlanta, though south is worse than north overall.

NYC? you got financial district and long island vs. harlem and the bronx...

i enjoy mytwocents's south side if you know what i'm sayin

10/30/2008 3:57:48 PM

the part below the blur?

10/30/2008 3:58:25 PM

cuz you ain't never seen her north side?

10/30/2008 3:59:45 PM

Well my 'SS' theory does not hold true for myself as I have a small north side...and everything south of the 'button' is bangin

10/30/2008 4:00:21 PM

The south side of the east cost is pretty shitty though....


OH NO HE DIDN'T

10/30/2008 4:00:48 PM

^^hasn't been a whole lot of development on the north side eh?


should try tax incentives.

not the case with South Charlotte.

10/30/2008 4:01:52 PM

i live in south charlotte, and it's def not the bad side. also, south durham isn't technically the bad part. but durham is kind of an anomoly cause it's like, good part, bad part, good part, bad part all going down the same road.

10/30/2008 4:04:37 PM

^^^well there was a vote and it was decided that the south side was so developed and awesome that pouring money into the north side would be a waste of money given that money can get everyone a developed north side but not a south side.

10/30/2008 4:05:26 PM

wow, what a lengthy analogy.

10/30/2008 4:07:47 PM

yeah....I got a little carried away there

10/30/2008 4:13:03 PM

west side of charlotte = the bad side

south charlotte = nice

10/30/2008 4:14:21 PM

lol, maybe put a mall up there.

10/30/2008 4:15:23 PM

ive never heard "WEST SIDE " even in my life . so you are right

10/30/2008 4:15:44 PM

^you haven't been near charlotte then

10/30/2008 4:16:15 PM

well, the south side of chicago is the baddest part of town

10/30/2008 4:26:35 PM

...Black people enjoy Winter sunlight?

10/30/2008 4:39:37 PM

I guess the easiest explanation is that shit creeps downhill, or something like that.

It's a hell of a lot better than North Raleigh

10/30/2008 4:50:00 PM

yeah, living in the most crime ridden part of town is definitely better than living in a *gasp* subdivision.

10/30/2008 4:55:07 PM

Well, I live in a non-crime ridden subdivision in SE raleigh, so now I don't know what to think.

10/30/2008 4:58:37 PM

west charlotte is the least developed. but the city sees that. The new law school we just finished will hopefully reinvigorate that side of the town.

but yeah, west charlotte is the bad part

10/30/2008 5:00:57 PM

"South Side" in Pittsburgh is ass

10/30/2008 5:03:06 PM

I used to hang out at a house on Pecan St. in South Raleigh all the time. It was exciting to say the least.

10/30/2008 5:03:29 PM

south atlanta is pretty rough, then again, all of atlanta is pretty rough thanks to dirty south rap

10/30/2008 5:05:35 PM

Saint Louis's South Side is experiencing a revolution. It's the east and the north, to an extent, that is the "bad" part.

10/30/2008 5:43:52 PM

atlanta south of I-20 is pretty ghetto, but there are some pockets of gentrification.
