One Incredible Entrepreneur Saved This Struggling Neighborhood By Replacing Everyone In It With Affluent Twentysomethings
Just one year ago, East Shellwood was one of the poorest neighborhoods in America. Its public schools were buckling under budget cuts and the crime rate was steadily increasing, while property values had hit an all-time low.
Today, all of that has changed. East Shellwood is thriving, and shows no signs of slowing down. So what happened?
It all started when a community-minded entrepreneur by the name of Jackson Klemmer had the innovative idea to replace every single one of the area’s longtime residents with affluent twentysomethings. The rest, as they say, is history.
I know I will get flack for this but I don't think this is funny when it happens to you in real life. I get what he's saying but it's too close to home for a lot of people.

I happen to be one of the lucky few who was able to escape.
There are some things that are just not funny, at least not to everyone. It's not even good satire.
