From coast to coast, in every "hood" in the nation, this kind of
thing is a daily event. It doesn't matter how much money you
throw at the situation, how much "help" is given to a certain
segment of society, the undertow continues unabated. Despite the
billions invested nationwide over the decades, the downward
spiral has continued. Until their culture changes, things will
continue to get worse. Change has to come from within community
itself and who can honestly say there have been any positive
changes in past few decades? Crime rates have increased, drop
out rates have increased, illegitimate birth rates have
skyrocketed and so on. Realize the truth and just avoid those
areas for your own protection. It's not like you're going to go
there for the fine dining, nice shops and shopping experiences,
and so on.
