It takes some bravery to be an urban pioneer and stand up to criminals. Good for you.
I can't say I shed tears over gentrification of dysfunctional neighborhoods either, although I wonder where the former residents go and whether it's any better than their old situation.
I think we finally found a house - and it's in a good neighborhood. After the comment you left on my post regarding your current situation I decided to reallllllly look into the crime stats on the street I liked.
You are a pioneer to be sure. I just don't think I share your same spirit! ;u)
That is interesting!

The missing piece is the slumlords. We have a particularly bad one owning a great many old buildings in town. That's a paper waiting to be written.
