When my 54 tenant who doesn't speak English or even read or write Spanish is able to find employment but able-bodied 25 year old black males are not, something is messed up. I see little hope for the black community, particularly impoverished blacks.

A see even less hope for areas like Maywood.

Not for much longer.

HP is slowly changing. My in-laws own property south of there and the yuppies are coming. They have noticed significant changes east of western. West of western still has a lot of low income people.

There are parts of Maywood that are better than Humboldt Park, particularly the large single family homes that border Melrose Park. South of the tracks it gets really bad in Maywood. I used to date a girl from Melrose Park so I know the area fairly well.

The southern part of Humboldt Park is certainly no better than some of the worst parts of Maywood. While Humboldt Park is slightly improving, particularly to the north and east (getting away from Austin and Garfield Park) Maywood is only getting worse. The northern and eastern parts of Humboldt Park bordering Logan Square are not the best but are liveable. I am living proof is this after over 3 years.
