I used to always tell people that you can get around any major city without difficulty if you just know where NOT to go ... don’t think that will suffice any longer. That hit is not in what I thought was a bad area of my city.
I had a co-worker who lives in that same neighborhood until becoming a long-haul trucker and moving back to Sonora. That was only 3 years ago and it was a nice place. I lived in SA for years, but returned to the country over 20 years ago for good. I could not have afforded to live in the expensive neighborhood my SO lived in 4 years ago-but he and all his neighbors still had bars on their windows and doors-no thanks at any price. There is no job or enough money to get me to live in any city again-they are all ruined...
