I drive past several rows of HUD on my way to work. Almost all of the apartments have DirecTV dishes; however, I’ve never seen a garden.

Wow, I was just going to comment that every time I am in the worst parts of our city (economically) it is striking how many DirecTV or similar satellite dishes are all over the dwellings like barnacles.

Do these companies particularly prey on poor folks like rent-to-own operations? Is this service subsidized by the gubmint? I don’t even have cable, too expensive (and not interested). I think it’s unmistakable in these neighborhoods, I’m glad you noticed it too.
