Yes, I suspect they already are. I was telling my wife today that if I were looking for a home in the St. Louis area, I would not buy one in Ferguson. It doesn’t matter what value they are assessed at. You could not give me a house there now.
True.
But I actually can’t believe some of the prices mansions are going for just north of Forrest Park. These are amazing turn of the century classics going for a million or less. Guess the neighborhood isn’t what it used to be, but all the same, Forrest Park and the gallery are still awesome. Delmare Ave. nearby...not so much.
I imagine you’re not alone.....people had better wake up and smell the coffee....better to pay more to live safe and peacefully than to live cheap and be in fear of your life daily.
