compared to the other neighborhood.
You know, I thought it was kind of bullshit but like I said, I'm seeing it now. I took that money and invested in what I thought were upwardly mobile black neighborhoods.
LOL
Man, as many black folks that are doing really well in the DC area, it's really eye opening when you start looking at the kind of demographic information that big time developers look at. Start reading the stuff commercial developers put together about incomes within 1/2 mile, 1 mile, and 5 miles of their properties and you'll see a world of difference between what would seem to be comparable black and "white" neighborhoods.
anyway, where I currently live, it seems like nobody ever leaves unless they're kicked out of their homes. On first glance, it's a nice neighborhood, mostly because the gestapo HOA fines the shit out of everybody. But under the covers, people CAN'T leave unless they've been saving signficant amounts of money. The economic crisis hit us hard and MD's generous foreclosure laws means some of these houses have been vacant for YEARS.
There's no property appreciation so alot of folks are just stuck.
Edit: Yeah, start that HOA. Like I said, my HOA is thorough. The president has pissed off alot of neighbors with his hard line. Some have come to me, complaining about him and I just stay quiet... because secretly I'm like "GOOD!" <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-> <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->
