The area near Belmont Park has a reputation for being a tough neighborhood, and this goes back many years.Most areas that are "tough" now were "tough" in the past as well. The ethnicity of the inhabitants may have changed, and the style of crime evolves over time as well. Still, the type of housing stock (and the affordability of such), is a better determinant of "tough" areas than race or nationality. |
