What else do you call a subset of a large city?Well, there's an interesting project for an intrepid poster.Inner city = suburb, in many cases.
Oh, seems I forgot to mention all of the six or so subsections of Albuquerque I've lived in.. Big fucking deal, you have been in larger cities than I have. In New York, it's all the same in tha area. Why? Because it's a centralized locality. Having lived across the country, I'd say I've more experience than you.I doubt it, really. If your experience tracked with mine--if you'd spent your life hopping around major cities--I might reconsider. I've spent most of my life in Queens, New York. We have dozens of inner city communities to choose from just in that area. And then I get five other borroughs to play with. Since I'm feeliing so generous today, I'll call it a draw.Which is apparently more than your own. I guess I have more authority on the matter, huh?

Why is violence immeasurable? We simply come up with an operating definition we can quantify and go from there.verilon wrote:Violence is immeasurable. Confidence is not (to an extent).
Oh, I thought you were saying some suburbs have as high (or low) crime rates as inner cities. So what does suburb = city mean?What else do you call a subset of a large city?
Hahaha. That's bullshit.Oh, seems I forgot to mention all of the six or so subsections of Albuquerque I've lived in.. Big fucking deal, you have been in larger cities than I have. In New York, it's all the same in tha area. Why? Because it's a centralized locality.
Hmm...some assorted small towns and Albuquerque. Nah, I'ma stick with my Cambridge and NYC experience. I've also lived in Newburgh, NY for two years.Having lived across the country, I'd say I've more experience than you.
Sure. I think it wasn't in this thread, tho, or anything by you that I've seen thus far.revprez wrote:I won't. Anyone wanna pick up where the last serious post left off?LadyTevar wrote:So don't tell me about Ghettos and sterotypes, ok?

Misstatement on my part. It is measurable.. but only to an extent. Rather, the violence you wish to measure is inside a person - that is immeasurable, as is confidence.revprez wrote:Why is violence immeasurable?

I said that an inner city is a suburb, in many cases, though that is not always true.Oh, I thought you were saying some suburbs have as high (or low) crime rates as inner cities. So what does suburb = city mean?What else do you call a subset of a large city?
So you're trying to say that the inner cities are all the same across the board? THAT is bullshit, and I, for one, should know.Hahaha. That's bullshit.Oh, seems I forgot to mention all of the six or so subsections of Albuquerque I've lived in.. Big fucking deal, you have been in larger cities than I have. In New York, it's all the same in tha area. Why? Because it's a centralized locality.
Norfolk isn't exactly a small town, you know. It IS home of the largest naval base.. Which is why I was there (navy family), but that's aside from the point. I know what it's like, just as you do, but I'd rather you not try to say that southeastern and southwestern inner cities are the same as northeastern ones, because they are anything BUT.Hmm...some assorted small towns and Albuquerque.

I'm no psychologist, so I'm gonna pass taking up the internal stuff. Why is confidence immeasurable? You have consumer confidence indices, after all.verilon wrote:Misstatement on my part.

I'm not following you. Perhaps my notion of "inner city" differs from yours.I said that an inner city is a suburb, in many cases, though that is not always true.
No, I'm saying it's bullshit to say NYC is all the same.So you're trying to say that the inner cities are all the same across the board? THAT is bullshit, and I, for one, should know.
Hey, I'm not denying your experience. I'm saying yours is no more extensive or varied than mine.Norfolk isn't exactly a small town, you know. It IS home of the largest naval base..

Never said anything about the suburbs of NY, mind you. I know that even in a centralized area things can be vastly different.revprez wrote:No, I'm saying it's bullshit to say NYC is all the same.
Ok then as long as we're clear on that.Hey, I'm not denying your experience. I'm saying yours is no more extensive or varied than mine.Norfolk isn't exactly a small town, you know.

Just out of curiousity, are you describing Queens as a suburb of New York?verilon wrote:Never said anything about the suburbs of NY, mind you. I know that even in a centralized area things can be vastly different.
