what happened was, when my dad bought it, it was a nice place to live.
slowy, it turned into a fucking dump, and no one wanted to live there. he was charging 650/month for rent, and by the time he sold it, it was down to 495/month.
he had no control over the area. thugs/section 8 crack fucks moved in the area, and no one normal wanted to live there anymore.
it can happen anywhere... but with lower income/lower cost homes/condos, the odds of it happening are greater-
which, is why i want to spend a little more on a place in the first place-- so that it doesn't get over-run with thug bitches.
seriously, you don't understand where i live.
1 part of the town is beautiful, nice, 400k houses.
2 streets later, there's bars on the windows in section 8 houses in the ghetto.
