things the hood aint checking for

If you went down certain streets at the wrong time you would have got hotted, theres man there not living too good either and they are hungry.

maybe im wrong as i obviously havent been to all parts of london, but this is why is think theres no ghetto in london. i think its agreed that there's HOODS but i doubt there's ghettos1: 5 min walk from whatever ghetto u wanna claim is one there is a NEW BUILD flat complex with prices starting in the 200s2: These areas still have council dustmen that clear up garbage at least ONCE a week.3: if the fire brigade or ambulance service is called, they will arrive in at least 20 mins on avg4: 95% of the corner stores /convenience stores have their cash tills NOT behind glass5: are the police REALLY shook of that area, that it would be impossible to just have one patrol car pass thru the neighborhoodi dont see how london can have ghettos with these. muggings take place, some shootings, pple will get banged up by looking at the wrong person longer than the UN allocated 2 seconds, and a host of a few other things, but this confirms a ghetto mentality amongst certain hoods, but is not a general ghetto area physically. real ghettos are physical and mentally ghettos.

The Ghettos would have been Stonebridge or the old Chalk Hill estates, Mozart aswell, places like that.Those were DUMPS, anyone 1 who remembers Chalk Hill knows it wernt a joke, these were mass estates of just pure bullshit.The government have done alot to knock down them old estates and rebuild sh*t.The police were scared shitless to go into them.Delivery people used to refuse to drive into them, especially Mozart, because they would get robbed at gunpoint for the vans and sh*t guaranteed.A friend got shot in Stonebridge only 2 years ago and the ambulance was waiting at the top of the road, didnt wana drive in the enclosure until the police car came, thats just off the reputation even though Stonebridge has changed alot, new flats gone up, knocking the old ones down etc...I would agree, now there arnt Ghettos as such, London has fixed up alot, but there are many places with animals in you dont wana be going to still.

^ True stories, I remember a couple of years ago one cabman wouldnt even take me and my mum into Stonebridge...

I used to live on the original Chalkhill. Ambulance would wait for police there too.My dad got stabbed right outside his own door when I was about 5. That place was nuts, I still played out like it was nothing though, I was more scared of the "ghosts" in those big, dirty car parks.

Yeh I remember when Mozart was nuts. Anytime I visited my older kuzzins in W10 back in the day they always said I shouldn't go there alone, only with them.

The thing is even though those places dont really exist now they moved all the bad people to different areas, they didnt just vanish.Thats why you get the smaller "hoods" now instead of the ghettos.
