Re: lets discuss newport news
Im not 100% sure so you may be right but I thought that these places were owned by the government (local or federal) and not privately, and that all were free or next to free to live in. Either way all technicalities aside they are monster shitholes that contribute to crime and dont add much benefit to a community.

Aside from that, there's not too much crime at all in those apartments. They're patrolled heavily by police and crimes get you evicted.
There's a lot more crime in Berkley and Colonial Place than in the apartments in off Brambleton.
Besides, Portsmouth is a monster shithole that contributes to crime and doesn't add much benefit to a community, but they haven't gotten rid of it, so I don't see a problem with a couple of shitty neighborhoods in Norfolk.

Re: lets discuss newport news
I am giving you facts. You are naming places without facts to how many units are in the buildings you are comparing. Find that out and let me know if you want to compare 3 and 4. I am not saying Norfolk doesn't have its share, I just don't think it is more than Norfolk.
Throw in the fact that Norfolk has 230+ thousand people and Portsmouth has 100+ thousand people and Portsmouth starts looking like it has more bad areas per person according to your argument of 3 and 4 areas.

But you cant name more than a couple of shitty neighborhoods in Portsmouth either. For every shithole neighborhood you can name in Portsmouth, one can be named in Norfolk.

Re: lets discuss newport news
Your splitting haires. I dont know which citys projects have more units. I would still guess Norfolks cause they look pretty damn big and I have been inside of all of portsmouths, and they are not huge communities, but Im not getting that deep into it. Also, those four are just what came to mind, I could probably find more if I were that concerned. I know there used to be another on the corner of va beach blvd and Ballentine. That would make 5. I think I have made enough of a point that Norfolk is not some wonderland with two bad parts while Portsmouth is some great big shithole.
The point wasn't about "splitting haires", it was about that fact that you throw no real world basis for an argument other than "I have seen"; yet you are the one asking for facts to back up arguments against you. When they are provided you dismiss them.
