I live right by a Somalian neighborhood which is made up of a lot of immigrants/refugees to escape the violence and it is basically just segregated from the rest of the city. They don't really mess with other people's business and no one really messes with their's (at least from what I've seen, I could be way off).

It is labeled a bad neighborhood but if you go down the main street it is actually pretty cool, feels like an entirely different country.
