Why is the Bronx considered the worst borough in NYC?

[The War Report]

Mott Haven skyline looks crazier every time I go past. The rendering is starting to come to life on some downtown Brooklyn or Long Island City shyt…

It's crazy every time I pass through on the Deegan, I'm passing through a part of The Bronx. shyt looks so out of place though.

It's probably the least gentrified, which has a part to due with rep. It also outside of Staten island is the most isolated, making more of a noman's land and wild west

 

[The War Report]

When the OP says "worst" he's talking about as far as the aesthetics, the crime, poverty, people, etc. Obviously SI ranks dead last because it's an out of sight, out of mind place.

This is not true and you're not from NYC.


NY is diverse as fukk even when it comes to black people

Also who the fukk says "na’mean" anymore? Sounds like what cacs think black people sound like

I dunno but y'all will like these 1961 BX scenes.

Naked City​

- A Hole in the City​

​

Aunt Florence Nunda, Sylvia Sidney was from the BX. Amazing how fire is a word in the lexicon youngens use today.

Sylvia Sidney - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"During the Depression, Sidney appeared in a string of films, often playing the girlfriend or sister of a gangster. "

City Streets (1931 film) - Wikipedia

City Streets 1931. Gary Cooper, Sylvia Sidney, Paul Lukas, Guy Kibbee, Wynne Gibson A mobster's daughter (Sylvia Sidney) leads her boyfriend (Gary Cooper) from the circus into bootlegging.




She was friends with Bogart from Manhattan and his wife Bacall from BK in real life.

Looking at the Wild Career of BEETLEJUICE's Sylvia Sidney

Most know her as the chain-smoking case worker in Beetlejuice, but the lengthy career of Sylvia Sidney is far more interesting and complex.

nerdist.com

"As her career began to wane at the end of the decade, Sidney starred in a handful of films with Humphrey Bogart, including Dead End and The Wagons Roll at Night. Although she was great friends with Bogart and his wife Lauren Bacall, according to her biographer Scott O’Brien, after a night of heavy drinking Bogart issued an anti-Semitic remark toward Sidney that ended with her throwing her drink—and her glass—in his face, cutting his eye. Bacall reportedly said he deserved it, while Bogart was impressed, telling Sidney, “Didn’t know you had that kind of fire.”


I re-watched the Naked City episode and there was a scene filmed right in front of Yankee Stadium!

And never forget in what borough Hip-Hop was born!

Sounds like y’all have a bias, was scary, or were looking for the typical post-gentrification 21st century city offerings.

The Bronx has great restaurants and food.

Someone had asked if the Bronx has suburbs and I had to stop to think. And I gotta say that Yokers, Mt. Vernon and New Rochelle are all I could come up with but they are cities unto themselves. How can a borough have cities as suburbs?

The Bronx really just has that much juice when you look at it.

thats 914 territory dawg.

 

[maxamusa]

I'm from Mt. Vernon and after college I moved to Harlem. But I got a lot of friends in the Bronx so I frequent the area. Bronx is the poorest borough but it also is probably the most NY out of the rest. Most people there are from NY while Manhattan and Brooklyn got a bunch of transplants.
Being a Harlem Bronx niqqa the last 20 years and only really visiting Queens and Brooklyn I gotta say I like Queens better, food is amazing and the people are more down to earth. Brooklyn is the most overrated borough, they got this artsy pretense about them and try to act like they are liver than other boroughs when I don't think so and they let gentrification go nuts there. You gotta give it to the BX and to a lesser extent Queens they held their ground and still feels like it did 20 years ago.
Staten Island is just really hard to get to so people don't even consider it. I would say most NYers never even been there. lol
SI is huge and really should be its own thing. It's weird it's a borough of NYC.

ohh shyt we in here brethren

Bro. Did you know that Mount Vernon and Yonkers was almost part of NYC?

In 1894, the voters of Mount Vernon participated in a referendum on whether they wanted to consolidate into a new "City of Greater New York." The cities of Brooklyn (Kings County) and Long Island City, the western towns and villages of Queens County, and all of day Staten Island all voted to join with Manhattan and The Bronx. However, the returns were so negative in Mount Vernon and the adjacent city of Yonkers that those two areas were not included in the consolidated city and remain independent to this day

It's fascinating because compared to the rest of Westchester County, Yonkers and Mount Vernon has the most urban landscape
