this video isnt talking about why people classify it as a ghetto, its talking about the definition of ghetto comparing two contrasting neighbourhoods..doesn't really clear up the myth of drugs and violence in the downtown core

This video isn't bad. Maybe a young student made it for a class project. It's good that people take an interest in their own community and acknowledge the world around them. This vid is 4 years old now, and obvious there's been changes since then.

The difference between the nice area's and the ghetto is that people work, don't live their lives around drugs, don't resort to violence, don't feel the need to throw up graffiti, have social skills, don't have 5 kids with different baby mommas, work towards bettering themselves.

@MsProudcanadian stop your nonsense,you obviously dont understand socio-economics,and never been on the dole,youll never see a politician running on a platform calling for the end of welfare `cos the money goes in one hand and out the other by the end of the month right back into the economy.Its actually a big part of the economy,no-ones gettin rich on welfare the money goes right back into the economy b4 the end of the month,in one hand out the other,like govt. stimulus of the economy,get it?

[MsProudcanadian]

@PAULOcbi Everyone gets a welfare cheque that is enough for cable and phone bills...excuse me??? If you are on welfare, I think the last thing you should be spending your money on is cable and phone bills....these are luxuries...luxuries I might add, that some of us working folk cannot afford. I've never seen so many satellite dishes as I have in Regent Park. It's sickening. My tax dollars hard at work.

@dadishonourabledon No one is forcing you to live in poverty....get a job...or two if you have to...just like the rest of us poor suckers that have to work for a living. We don't get subsidized rent, we have to bust our asses every single day. Regent Park was supposed to be a stepping stone for people to get on their feet....not to live there generation after generation. Stop having children that you can't afford to support. I am sick of supporting all of you.
