Heck I have a rough block right in back of me. It's fine. I just don't make a habit of walking it at night alone.

Wait.  Hudson has a bad block in it?  I thought the town sh**t Hershey's kisses and peed champagne?  Tend to this outrage, man!

Nah, it is a very diverse town, and we all live together. That is one of its charms. And I enjoy trying to get along with everyone, no matter their station in life, or background. It is one of the charms of a small town. You can get to know people personally like this, because you run into them all the time, and as issues arise and so forth.

Bridgeport, easily. Didn't it use to be well-off? Still far better than Baghdad.

Baghdad..... No second thoughts on it. Bridgeport is such a retched city.

Have you ever been there? Or just guessing based off of a wikipedia article?

Andrew is from CT.  I trust his viewpoint.

This is correct. As a former Fairfield county resident, I can safely say that city blows... And in was just in Bridgeport in September. I almost got robbed twice in that God forbidden city. The only thing it has going for it is the Merritt Canteen. That's it.

How many times a year do you think you'd get mugged (or worse) in Baghdad ?

I'm a white, gay male... so I'd imagine I would get mugged less in Baghdad.

Don't put that to the test

Whatever... since apparently I'm not allowed to make my own decisions that I base off of a crappy city that I've been to and have had issues with several times, I'll take the advise of people who have most likely never been to this hellhole.

I'll change it to Bridgeport. Hopefully this is an acceptable answer

make whatever choice you'd llike. i'm just sayiing I've known several people who were deployed lived in Baghdad , and any one of them would've chosen Bridgeport, or even East St. Louis,  in a heartbeat.

I get it: Bridgeport is a post-industrial wasteland. Maybe i'm taking this poll too seriously or litterally, but it's not an actual war zone.
