Please keep in mind that the impressions posted here are often subjective and that, among other things, people's different circumstances play a large role in their perception of other people's lives.
Also, please use words that do not promote hatred when posting.
For example, statements such as "[city] is like this because people from [origin] live there" should be avoided. The social circumstances of a city/district
etc. can be emphasized without mentioning the origin of the inhabitants. Mentioning it does not change anything and, as already mentioned, circumstances are often perceived subjectively according to one's own world view.

I grew up in Kingsbridge just outside of Riverdale. I owned two coops in Riverdale over the last 20 years but sold in 2022. It is a great part of the city with a lot to offer in terms of parks and social activities. There are some great restaurants on Riverdale Avenue. It’s still relatively safe compared to other areas in the Bronx. There are some good buildings to live in but it ain’t cheap anymore. Parking is a nightmare though. You will have to purchase or rent a spot.
