NOT always a sketchy neighborhood.
This is true.
There was a sideshow near my home not long ago.
While very few were paying attention, low-income housing started popping up like weeds in my once quiet neighborhood. An apartment complex sprouted up over here, another one hidden away over there. A couple more under construction near the grocery store, an upscale Kroger (not for long).
Next thing I know, we've got the joys of diversity in my own backyard!
I want to live on a farm.
