Jane - Finch
- Thread starter The Game 06
- Start date
Go there at 10:00 on a Saturday night in August. Walk around with either a blue or red bandana on - choose one - doesn't matter. Go up and down Driftwood. Then see what happens.

LOL...for your info, their are no REAL Bloods & Crips in Canada..
the real gangbangers are in LA, those in Toronto are wanabee's.
Most blacks in Canada are immigrants, unlike those in the states those were descendents of slaves.

And if you're white and walk around late at night, then watch what happens to you. I know a guy who was in his car, stopped at a light and then a gang walked across at the light and started circling his car, nice car, and he was white. He called the cops from his cell who came over in a flash to bail him out. I would not risk it just because you feel you've had no problems to date.
you dont have to be white with a nice car to be mugged, it happens to most races who have nice cars,beside that I am indian and I am looking to move and I wont go to jane and finch not because of the crowd is because of my choice to live. I have never been there but heard bad stuff but I guess you have to check it our your self.
1 way 2 felieve ourself of that shit hole & do some ethnic cleansing-nuke it

run forrest run

In the 70s the Ontario government decided to build housing projects and one of them is at Jane and Finch.
Instead of well intentioned helping hand for poor Canadians and people to the country it turned into areas well suited for crime.
You get the same problems around most former Ontario housing projects.
While you maybe able to transverse these areas without a problem, or maybe pale compared to their American cousins, the former projects are magnets for crime. The odds are much higher in these areas then some of the other areas of the city.

It was Bad Years ago but not as much now
It got a bad name many years ago and even though it has cleaned up a bit ( not totally ) its just going to take a longer to live down its bad name. 10-15 years ago I had to do some snow removale work and found the worst area in Toronto I found was around Regent park. I was not aware there was a place so bad in Canada .

I don't think it's going to get any better soon. The poor Liberals don't know what to do in these situations. They still have not resolved the Indian standoff in Calidonia. Likely they will throw some money at it and then wonder why it's still a disaster. The worst solution to any situation is a lawyer or a social worker. Just a big waste of money and time.

When I was young I lived around East Hastings / Pigeon Park in Vancouver for awhile. At the time it was officially the poorest postal code in Canada, and a very bad area. When I first moved to Toronto I lived in Parkdale, which doesn't have the reputation of Jane & Finch, but has a reputation nonetheless, especially back then. I saw some crazy shit go down in both those places, including some real serious violence (someone got shot, a lot of people got beat up, in one case the cops were doing the beating). However to be a part of the violence you generally have to be part of the "in" crowd. The fuckups mostly shoot and beat up one another rather than outsiders who mind their own business. You might get mugged, though, and it's certainly not the kind of area a woman should walk around in alone at night.
I guess Jane & Finch is probably like that. Still, compared to where I live now--none of that shit ever happens where I live now. Ever. So yeah, it's much more dangerous in those areas. It's all relative.
I'm also guessing the OP is either black or at least part of the hiphop crowd, given the name "The Game 06" and throwing an "aint" in there. Might be a different experience at Jane & Finch for a regular looking non-black non-hiphop guy who visibly doesn't fit it, but I dunno, because I've never spent any time there.

So what are you saying the descendants of slaves in the US are "badder" than the immigrant gangs. Have you been to Kingston Jamaica man, its the most violent city in the western hemisphere. And alot of these retreads are up here in Toronto, Jamaican authorities expunge their record and pawn them off on us and the states.The Game 06 said:
While Jane and Finch doesn't rival the likes of Compton, Spanish Harlem its a pretty dangerous neighbourhood within the housing projects.

While Kingston Jamaica is a true shit hole it still does not compare to the slums surrounding Caracas Venezula. In Kingston at least the locals offer you some Mota before fucking you over, in the slums of Caracas they will stab you for your running shoes. Jane and Finch is a picnic in comparison to some South American towns I've had the pleasure of touring in.
Would love to take some of the gang bangers from Scarborough and Jane and Finch on a little tour of some of the nastier places in South America and let them fend for themselves for a few days. Perhaps we can get our courts to sentence these losers to three months time spent in "community projects" in the slums of Caracas.

Some of you guys watch too much TV.
Number 1 rule when entering a bad neighborhood; if you look like a target you'll become a target.
Jane and Finch is only as bad as it's perceived to be. There's neighborhoods all over the GTA that you shouldn't be hanging around at night.
