I used to tell people I came from the slums of Birmingham.

I like that neighborhood on the NE corner of 14 and Woodward. There's some good deals there, too.

Wow, you won't get anywhere debating some of these posters. They simply turn away when you respond to their illogical rantings. Personally, I could live next to anyone, long as they keep their property clean and their home kept up, don't steal from me. Most of all don't harm my family in any way. Simple economiics you say? Absolutely. I can't afford to move to Wind Mill point, can't afford it (stated that twice)
So if anyone from any city moves into that neighborhood and can't afford to pay for what they bought.... Good for the residents of that neighborhood. Now they can shoulder some of the problems the city has. For to long they have been living large when the lower income people could not. So what if they worked hard for what they have...... That really makes a lot of sense now does it not???
So you see, use that logic and you will be fine when exchanging posts.
