Used to be scary, now it's comfy. I know a girl from there and she's very nice.
Yeah it actually is comfy. I enjoy going there.
Is she Dominican?
It's actually not the worst part of NYC, Brooklyn is more dangerous
The hills and architecture make this neighborhood (Kingsbridge) comfy
Meh
NYC isn't really dangerous at all, It's safer than London
No idea
NY is such a odd place
why is that user?
Interestingly, it has a rapidly growing Mexican population
Both of them are the size of major cities and have a wide range of neighborhoods. The worst neighborhoods in both boroughs are high crime (for NYC standards) but not even that dangerous really.
And the run of the mill neighborhoods and better are perfectly fine.
Historic Little Italy of the Bronx
The Italian shops are still there, but the population these days is a mix of Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, and Fordham University students.
Italian-American boomers in the suburbs still stop by for the restaurants and meat shops
Bump
It can be charming
Wrong. The inequality of Brooklyn is greater thus the shitty neighbhorhoods are the city's worst. But the Bronx has a larger area (literally speaking) of scary places than Brooklyn does
This. I'm from North Jersey, not far from NYC at all, and I have a few friends over there. I tend to get along better with Bronx dudes better than most other New Yorkers, and it just feels "realer" to me than the rest of the city (in part because unike Manhattan and Brooklyn, it's still untarnished by midwest transplants living in NY to be cool).
Staten Island and Queens are also kinda like that, but Bronx is more fun imo.
Shithole, like the rest of the NYC metro.
(West/Central) Queens>Bronx>Staten
Not great. Could be a lot better. The Bronx has a lot of potential but it's going to be a century or more before it's realized.
The bad parts of the Bronx (Fordham, University Heights, Mott Haven, Morrisania, etc.) are almost as bad as the bad parts of Brooklyn
Eastern Queens is so boring
Lol more like right now, prices are skyrocketing.
Most of the transplants are from either the Northeast or the California
If you're white though, then you'll probably have nothing in common with 90% of Bronx residents. It's basically as unwhite culturally (aside from places like Riverdale that are mostly white) as it can possibly get, with the population being mostly Hispanics who act black followed by actual black people.
Brooklyn has neighborhoods that attract people of different backgrounds who can make friends with each other easily, but nowhere in the Bronx is like that besides maybe Kingsbridge.
But that all kind of excites me because it's extremely different from what I'm used to. The hood energy in the Bronx is unmatched.
It seems like all the ones I talk to are from Wisconsin or something
I'm a lower middle class polack who mostly grew up around blacks and ricans. That second part is probably the main reason I get along so well with Bronx dudes despite being a wh*toid.
I'm a whiteoid from a mixed part of Long Island and I get along with everyone
I have friends of all races, but I can't imagine the average Yas Forums user getting along with hood Ricans/Dominicans/Mexicans/blacks even if they aren't racist. Imagine a video game nerd trying to get with a ratchet big booty QT Bronx Rican girl!
And a lot of those people are too hood even for me (like people who carry themselves like 6ix9ine).
I've met one from Wisconsin but Massachusetts, NJ, PA Florida, and CA have been most common for me
>Imagine a video game nerd trying to get with a ratchet big booty QT Bronx Rican girl!
Sounds like it could make for a fun romcom desu, and I usually hate that genre.
>Floridians moving to New York
Bit ironic desu.
I actually think that would be a good concept. Imagine the movie "White Men Can't Jump", but with the white guy being much lamer.
And yes, ironic indeed. But I have met several Florida transplants in Brooklyn.
Yeah, but prices skyrocketing does not necessarily translate to a place evolving. Unless you think pushing the poor out actually helps things. It doesn't.

If people are paying a premium to live there, that means it is being increasingly valued by the general public
That's not the same as a place improving, user.
It's ok but I've only been in it for like 3 hours
Manhattan > the Bronx > Brooklyn > Queens >>>>>>>> Staten Island
