I hate the ghetto

Living in Des Moines you wouldn't think that there is a ghetto, but if there is one I am sure I live next/in it. Non stop sirens, gun shots at 3 in the morn, my car gets broke into all the time, dudes crawling out of our trash can when i go to work every morning. I gotta get outta here.

I don't live in the ghetto but I live in a neighborhood that, up until very very recently, was primarily a poor hispanic neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Now all the white yuppies (yours truly reluctantly included ) are moving in and changing the face of the neighborhood...so late nights, sometimes, it feels very unsafe around my apartmet, only because there is a lot of animosity on the part of the hispanic community for being pushed out of an area that has traditionally been there for the last quarter century or more.
The younger ones, wrapped up in thug lifestyles, prowl the sidewalks in very menacing manners late at night.
But, it's definitely not the ghetto..

You are a very skilled writer. You should scrap all your posts together and make a book of short stories

I am thinking that this prissy little expensive college I live next to will eventually buy up a good 15 block perimeter around it and turn everything in to student housing. I don't know which is worse little hood rats or those stupid little bitches walking around in their sweaters driving their shinny little sports cars.

11 homicides last June alone, at least 3 within a 6 lock radius.
Meth house accross the street that when it was shut down it moved next door.
1 big meth house explosion that i can think of that was near enough 2 friends were exposed to the fumes.
and multiple bursts of gunfire a night.
and thats not even North Richmond.
