Well, it ain't, dumbass.
So howze about getting the hell out of the crap hole, move to a place that has some semblance of economic opportunity and work and save until you can buy your own damned place.
That's what I did...it's what millions of Americans have done, time after time.
It's not impossible, unless you have the mindset that it's easier to stand on the corner in the 'hood and sell dope and your sister and wait for a "protest" to occur so you can restock your liquor cabinet and update your big screen.
I have no sympathy.
Though harsh in your post, you are correct here 100%, everyone in my family had to move at some point heck we even lived in Europe for a couple of years, and yes I had parents that came from the “hood” and they never went back and are property/land owners and nearly retired now, and if I was in that place I would get out even if I had to join the Marines, cut my self off from that “hood”, assimilate in my new area and never ever go back there.
