With lots of traditional NY rough spots becoming safe...

[Sven the Returned]

With Brooklyn not being the ''Zoo" anymore, Daredevil having to explain why Hell's Kitchen is dangerous again.

What other places that have some brand recognition should emerge for gritty street level superhero origin stories?

I say Baltimore and East Cleveland.

Detroit.

DiBlasio is doing what he can to reverse the gentrification of these New York spots, though.

Cmon guys you have to go with the Murder Capital of the U.S..... Chicago. Crazy poverty and brutal weather = brutal people with brutal responses.

[newt138]

There is always Jackson MS. Which is usually in the top 5 more crime ridden major cities.

Killadelphia is a good choice, a true toilet, and I'm from eastern Pa.

Yep, but the gentrific express left the station at Hell's Kitchen a while ago. Setting the Netflix show there seems anachronistic to me. If Murdock opened an office in the South Bronx, DD would have some brisk business.

Even Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights are on their way up.

But the South Bronx is still a hole.

I've survived here for long enough - I think it just looks rough because it's been a dirty industry town for so long. That has been changing slowly but surely.

I know, I'm just playing. I did have a Hamilton resident tell me one time that if one were to give Canada an enema, Hamilton would be where to stick the hose

Oh hell, yeah! It's still a dirty old town even if it's showing signs of revitalizing, and the edges keep growing outward... And no worries, I wasn't mistaking your tone, good sir

I like this Canada bashing.

Stephen Harper has been such a disappointment.
