sorry, you’re still wrong. I have undeniable proof Camden is better 😎
Camden = big aquarium
Atlantic City = tiny sad aquarium
in all seriousness Camden has been improving in the past few years. Homicides have dropped to a 30 year low, and other violent and property crimes have been decreasing for years now, going against national trends.
Also the downtown and fairview are nice neighborhoods. The city’s got a long way to go, but it’s getting there.

this statement is completely ignorant of the history of Camden and cities like it as well as the hard earned progress made to bring it out of the depths of poverty. how shameful to speak in such a way without referencing any context. read a book sometime. most of the big cities in NJ are post-industrial and were fucked by redlining leading to generational poverty. Crime in Camden is down 74 percent from 50 years ago. Progress is slow but happening. I've visited Newark and Camden recently for work and concerts and had perfectly pleasant experiences.
