Born and raised in Austin area, we had two catholic grammar schools one block from each other in the 1960’s on my street. White flight was a real factor in the decline of the old neighborhood. The new arrivals didn’t maintain their homes and their kids were predatory animals.
Maybe this woman could’ve gotten some help to fix up her Victorian “mansion “ if she didn’t paint it up like a whorehouse.
My Mom and Dad did the same thing when we were growing up in a wretched neighborhood. It was “Ok” growing up during pre-teen but as teens, the area just went downhill fast. They knew the trend and moved us a FAR better and safer neighborhood.
The bigger question is where are those homeys who moved out and did/will they bring their ghetto mentality else where?
