sorry, i meant a description of the living area and examples of things that make it difficult or impossible to live there.
while i have lived in the US i have never been to areas that one is being told to avoid (the most dangerous area i have lived in for a short time was somewhere near downtown DC), and in most other countries that i have been to such neighborhoods are inconceivable. heck even slums in africa appear safer compared to some gunshot prone areas in the US
