It’s a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there

Poor people rarely steal from their poor neighbors…

I’ve lived in lots of “bad neighborhoods” and never had my stuff messed with, I’ve lived in “good places” a few blocks away from the bad ones, and shit was always being stolen.

Its not complicated bud.

Except if you read this article it is clear that this is a high crime area where any tourists going thru it are targeted.

Yeeeeah, I know people who stayed in surrounding townships and often times they’d tell me they’d be scared to go home.

I have a friend who lives in Manenberg (also gang infested area in Cape Town), he’s lived there all his life. Last year he had all his teeth broken by a gang.

I don’t think you understand what dangerous is. You think you do, but you don’t. These are places that ambulances, police and fire trucks don’t dare go into for fear of having their vehicles set alight and being killed.

Life has no value in these places.
