We then moved to South holland and guess what it happened again. Crime went through the roof. Mind you every time we moved the cost of living was higher. My parents paid dearly to raise their family in a low crime area. The last 16 years I have lived in New Lenox with my own family and I don't plan to move. Yes our community is made up of mostly white folks and that is why I am here. Diversity has not worked for me. If you look at Roseland, Dolton and Soth Holland now the high crime rates are staggering. Matter of fact if you look at the southwest suburbs of Chicago since blacks took over...you will see crime has risen 3 fold since white folks moved out. Sorry it is what it is.
