Learn English – What’s the meaning of “bitching”

Here, hood is being used in contrast to nice. It is, indeed, short for "neighborhood," but specifically refers to a ghetto neighborhood. I've normally only heard it in nominal form, and urban dictionary seems to use it this way, too, but here it's an adjective referring to the impoverished/ghetto-like state of Cutler Ridge/Cutler Bay.

Urban dictionary shows the following definitions

1. The ghetto.
2. Someone who is from the ghetto.
3. Someone who acts like they are from the ghetto. Other Slang: Hoodlum, Gangsta, Thug, Nigga, Pimp, Street-rat, Street Urchin, etc.
4. The foreskin of a penis.
5. Covering of the clitoris.

I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations.

That's enough for me. So I make no effort to ask why God didn't distribute intelligence evenly among men.
