All* the violent crime in New York City (especially gang related) happens in the NYCHA ghettos, it has been this way for a long time and even that is lower now.

Dnainfo had a map of nyc gangs and it was funny because they all looked like xbox live usernames, and then the awkward reality set in that the gangs are all 14* year olds

*hyperbole

Despite the downvoting because the user is being a little snarky, his point about violent crime focused in NYCHA ghettos is essentially correct: https://spotcrime.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/newyorkcity.jp...

Consensus driven websites reflect world view more than accuracy, but primarily because people dont use upvotes/downvotes for the same reasons

Sites that pride themselves on accurate information should consider a different model
