Don't see the problem with the "hood" it is the people in the hood. Just like its the people in the suburbs that make those areas uncomfortable to live in. I personally wouldn't want to live next to someone like Ajackson. Or in a gated community where a George Zimmerman type resides. Or even my own damn coworkers.
I don't see the necessity for everyone to move out of the project just because they may have the ability to do so. I have a friend that makes 50k and his wife makes almost 70. They live in the jects send their two sons to private schools and save a lot of bread. From what I understand, just to have so when their sons are college age they will have choices.
I have another friend who makes around 40. Don't know what his wife makes but I know she makes more than him and they rent a nice apartment across the street from the jects. They complain more than my friends who live in the projects. They have no kids and are saving up I believe to move to St. Louis where her family is at.
I have a chic in Harlem that makes a little over 70. She lives in a condo over looking the river. Shit is very nice and she pays less money for the crib and garage than my friends with no kids do for theirs and unless I walked to her crib you would never know its a few blocks from the "hood"
Shit ain't what you see on TV. And like the poster said before, your experience isn't everybody's. If one wants to leave and but continues doing stupid shit that negates their ability to leave then I see fault. Otherwise only fault I see with anyone in the hood is not cleaning up after themselves and treating their surroundings like shit. But I've seen people in the suburbs do the same thing. Inside homes look like shit and the only reason the outside doesn't is because they'd get fines.
