Youngstown, Ohio is a city in Northeast Ohio. A former Steel Mill town, it used coal and coke from coal mines in Ohio and Southwest Pennsylvania. In the 1980s, many steel mills in northern states closed or cut back. Skilled laborers became unemployed and many people migrated to other States. Like many once prosperous towns, Youngstown Ohio has suffered from "urban blight", with boarded up houses, higher crime rates, etc. Youngstown Ohio has had it's problems, both historically and currently, but continues to try new measures to bring in reputable companies. The only way a city becomes a hood, in the negative sense, is if the citizens allow it to happen.
