That’s only if you go by data and statistics.

Anecdotally, you can paint whatever picture you like depending on the headline you choose to read.

When you walk and drive through those streets you see what’s really going on. Nothing has changed .

I walk and drive them daily. I see luxury apartments being built, corporations moving in, parks being built, as well as restaurants opening up.

Like any city, it has its good and bad parts. That’s my anecdotal evidence, check the statistics for the entire picture…. Or selectively read headlines and generalize an entire city based on an article.

We wouldn't want the stats to get in the way of your views. Please, continue.

First off, you're talking complete bollocks.

Second, if it's so shitty and undesirable to you, then stay the fuck out of our city and our sub. You don't want to be here & we don't want you here - the solution seems simple.
