A classmate tell me philly is very dangerous,he said that the price of rooms in New York is very high,so the poor and dangerous people have to live in philly,which is next to New York.
I dont mean to judge philly.I just want to know the turth.


NYC is just as "dangerous" they just push the crime outside of thier city limits.


Philly and NYC aren't close enough (100 Miles)

Most of the crime in Philadelphia is concentrated in poor african american areas of the city.


Sadly...so are most of our colleges...Penn, Drexel and Temple all border poor black neighborhoods.
