Variation from North to South

I have lived in Newport News since 1992, and all my life. Being someone that who has lived here his whole life, northern Newport News (Denbigh to Lee hall) is fairly decent. There is plenty to do around here. The people are rude, disgusting, and have no respect for anyone but themselves. Not to mention, nobody around here can drive. Everything in this city (price wise) is going up, except for wages. If you aren't African American, you get left out. VERY RACIST PEOPLE. The school system is horrible. You go downtown, and the city is very disgusting. Very low income homes, buildings with graffiti, buckling roads, gangs and prostitutes everywhere. There is someone murdered every 2 to 3 weeks in this city of 185,500. If you choose to come to this area, DO NOT LIVE HERE. Live in Poquoson, York County, or Williamsburg. DO NOT COMMUTE OVER 15 MILES IN THIS AREA, or you're looking at more than a hour commute.
