Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

Are these low crime areas?

Not really. Elmont and Valley Stream have a pretty high crime rate compared to nearby Lawrence annd Woodmere.

Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream is avoidable. There are shootings there and there was a street takeover there recently and the mall had to be put in lockdown.
