Were you raised in a rich or poor hood?

I was raised in an elite hood.

Rich hood

Middle class hood

Poor hood

Poor. Ironically though, I lived just minutes away from a rich suburban neighborhood on the edge of West Philly. One of my first girlfriends in the 9th grade was a rich blonde from one of these neighborhoods named Abigail.

I'll use Google Maps to just show you, though.

Here's the sh*thole neighborhood in West Philly I grew up in, dirt-ass poor. 56th & Lancaster Avenue.

Keep in mind, it looks WAY better now than it did in the 90s and 2000s.

The neighborhood got somewhat cleaned up around 2008-2009 or so, but it used to straight-up look like Gary, Indiana.

You go just six blocks north however, to 63rd & Lancaster, and you get half a million dollar suburban homes.

Just a ten minute walk north and you got people who made 10x more money than we did.

Soooo that is the reason you hate philly so much, cheetah.

[MCheetah]

No. The reason I hate Philly so much is cause 95-99% of the people there are utter sh*tbags.

But you educated yourself

Poor/streets on my mother's side and borderline rich with servants on my father's. I bounced between them after their divorce. Gucci clothes to Wal-Mart clothes and servants with my own room to cockroach-infested teeny apartments sharing a bunk bed with my sister. Was quite an interesting and jarring experience!

I still live with my parents

I was raised in a wealthy neighborhood.

Literally No one that grew up in the hood describes the hood like this

Very safe town in a influential area. We have never had a recession here…even in 2008. Lots of big corporate here…Second only to Silicon Valley.

It was pretty middle class. I went back last summer to look around and it looks like a war zone now. It was a nice neighborhood when I was growing up.

Didn't grow up in any "hood". Grandfather owned the land.

[Staximus]

I'd say halfway between poor and middle class, working class blue collar type neighborhood.

[UniquelyBasic]

Poor and middle class mostly

[msc545]
