i have a friend who when she got married deliberately moved into the ghetto, although she could have lived elsewhere, bought and fixed up a house and they have stayed there. I don’t get it but hey, it’s not my life.

Sometimes when you move into an ungentrified neighborhood, you can buy a beautiful house for a song. People who like architecture and history often do this. Also, people who - as a hobby - like to fix up houses. My husband I did this once and when the gentrification finally came, they raised the taxes so high we had to move!
