My contribution: pretty much only ever seen people staring at me for being a white girl in the ghetto.

There's some badass graffiti in the hood. I used to go around and take pictures of the gang tags and use them for wallpaper back in the day.. It's like an easter egg hunt because most of the tags are somewhat hidden and not out in plain view.

One time I was on the edge of South Central getting an edible from a dispensary no one else had at that time . The moment I got out of the car there was trash,diapers in the gutter,used needles. There was a couch that looked like many people had fucked,bled,sweat,pissed and shit on it and the entire couch was covered with graffiti. I was actually there with my mom too so both of us carried guns.

Around here the black folk are always leaving diapers and McDonalds trash in parking lots etc. 99% of the time they're morbidly obese too. Every now and then you'll run into one that can actually talk correctly but it's rare. I don't go into the city much anymore these days.

Sounds like central Oregon. Dirty needles and diapers for all. At work they basically told us wear shoes that'll break a needle because you'll at one point walk on them.

Detroit's center is thriving right now ("New Detroit") and it looks like will help the worst areas quite a bit. St. Louis is sort of in an upswing and the gentrification has helped more than a few bad neighborhoods.

Yeah I spent a week in downtown Detroit a few months ago. My first time back there in some time.
Downtown was definitely trending in the right direction. In fact it was borderline vibrant. Took a nice drive though through the outer neighborhoods and...well let's just say that they still have a long ways to go. But downtown taking off is a good start.

In fact, believe it or not, Detroit (yes, Detroit) was recently named a top ten travel destination by the NY Times.

My town is often compared to a small Detroit. We hav a nice area downtown, but our city is still not doing well.

There are a few exceptions like Chicago and Detroit, but the new ghettos in America are really the rural towns in the rust belt and Midwest and southwest. Drug use is much higher in these areas than traditional urban ghettos. Drug overdose rates in rural counties are ridiculous compared to cities. New York City has a lower murder rate than most rural states.

Yeah you're right, outside of Chicago & Detroit there are very few inner city ghettos left

They are shrinking, not growing. Meanwhile you have entire towns in states like West Virginia, Ohio and elsewhere that are essentially ghettos where half the population is addicted to opiates and unemployed.
