I agree totally. I was taking a short cut to work off Dickerson near Gratiot last week. That neighborhood is in complete shambles. Then I turn down a side street and there is a big neighborhood watch sign, and the lawns are all mowed, no trash blowing around, houses in decent shape, etc. Then you go two blocks further and you are back in Aleppo.
And those few people that actually give a shit, are so outnumbered and beat down, that they eventually give up too. Like the security guard that got so sick of getting broken into that he shot the guy who was doing it. It is sad. The whole East side is filled with brick houses built in the 30's through the 60's. Almost everyone is unique with custom brick and stone work. And they are getting knocked down every day. It is just sad to see the city in rubble like that.
