Brantford

A blue-collar city in Ontario with 100,000 people in it. It’s extremely poor and extremely dangerous. I lived in the “safest” part of the city (which is still worse than any other city), and the amount of unreported crime is ridiculous. The reported crime rate is only half of the story. Murderers, thieves, thugs, gangsters, and whatever else you can think of all call this shit hole home. You won’t see a worse downtown in your life. You can’t even walk around anywhere during the day, let alone at night. The only positives about the city are that housing prices are extremely low and Wayne Gretzky is from there.

Oh and by the way, those noises you hear everyday, they aren’t fireworks…

Brantford scares Chicago

Brantford

A city in southern Ontario with a population of around 100,000.

I grew up in Detroit, have family in Chicago, and friends all over in cities like Buffalo and Fort Worth. I’ve been a frequenter in those cities for the majority of my life, and have never really had any problems regarding violence or other types of criminal activity. I went to Brantford by mistake one time while in Canada, and got jumped and robbed after walking out of a McDonald’s.

I went back a few years later while on a business trip to Hamilton. I stopped in Brantford to use a restroom, and when I came back out, my tires were flat and my windshield was broken. Oh and by the way, they stole the headrest on my passenger seat.

Brantford is a place you only go to if you have to. Do at your own discretion.
