| you are a community activist trying to save drug addicts and prostitutes. There are absolutely no jobs other than minimum wage, if you can find one, there are tons of sex offenders, and mostly, it seems that every young man, even those with potential, are doing the only thing they can in this city to survive, better known as selling crack. There is so much drug related crime that it's scary to let your kids play outside, even in the 'nice' areas. I know four or five people PERSONALLY who have been killed over the last couple years. People don't smile and wave, they look at everyone as a suspect, for good reason. I can't wait to leave, but right now have to remain in this city to take care of aging parents. This is a terrible town to raise children or try to make a life.
