Across a main street from our neighborhood is a neighborhood of condos. It turned black many years ago when the illegal Mexicans started moving into the old black neighborhood. I swear everyone there is on some kind of welfare....and it shows. What used to be a neighborhood of nicely upkept condos where families lived is now a ghetto. The ghetto bird flies overhead at least a few times a week.
Without HUD, welfare, etc. neighborhoods like this would go back to what they used to be....livable for ordinary people.
Believe everyone has one tale or another along the same line.
I was LIVING in a complex that went Section8. Wasn’t long before I was moving out w/ all the new (*surprise!) crime...cars vandalized, break-ins, etc.
Now? They’ve opened a ‘fast-pass’ (3 stops between either end) bus line from the same area to the mall....We don’t go to this mall much, if at all, anymore.
