what about the area between downtown and Bayview? (Milwaukee, Greenfield: for sale, apartments)

[Angorlee]

There appears to be a lot of rentals(or maybe there condo's for sale). But it seems like it would be a convenient location. But maybe its too expensive for me. If they are condo's then if hard times hit they might turn into rentals.

I mean the area around Altera's coffee shop.

There was a report in the news last month about home sales from the east side to Marq. and south to Greenfield Ave and compared to last year in Oct to this year in Oct home sales were up 3.3% so if your waiting for a bubble it might be easier just to go to Pick N Save and buy a bottle of them.

If you're looking for something affordable yet closer to downtown & the east side, I suggest Bayview. Third Ward is expensive, straight up. It's mostly condos but whatever apartments that are there are over the top expensive & you get no bang for your buck. I would suggest the east side though, guess it just depends what you're looking for.

Let's not forget that Angorlee is incredibly racist/bigoted and the area between Downtown and Bayview is inhabited by large Latino/Mexican and Gay/Lesbian populations. Just food for thought. I hear Iceland is really nice this time of year, she should move there, it's really really cheap there since their economy collapsed and really really far away from Milwaukee and any kind of pesky diversity.

I disagree with the notion that Walker's Point is largely a Latin and Gay area. I have lived here for three years and however all of Milw's gay bars are in Walker's Point(5th Ward), gay population is spread out between Upper Eastside and Bayview. Milw doesn't have a huge gay population that you might think, compared cities likewise. As for the Hispanic population in Walker's Point most of the Hispanic population is south of Greenfield.Ave to the Milw River. More and more condo's are still being converted in Walker's Point, from the Milw River down to Greenfield.Ave is where you will see most of the progress. As for crime 90% of crime in Walker's Point is on the west side of I-94/43, S.10th Street and west. You don't have much to worry about in the area around 1st-6th streets from the Milw River down to Greenfield.Ave. If your looking to get into the next "Brewers Hill" or "Third Ward" Walker's Point is it. Also remember The 5th Ward is the same thing as Walker's Point.

I really don't understand why Angorlee wants to live in Milwaukee in the first place. I also do not understand why nobody else on this board has a problem giving advice to somebody who is such an intolerant bafoon. I was merely kidding in this post and another where I said Brewer's Hill is full of minorities. I want to discourage someone like that from moving to my new city. Angorlee makes no attempt to be civilized or tactful, she says flat out that she will not live near anyone who isn't of European descent and also a Christian. That's a ridiculous wish to begin with, especially in Milwaukee of all places.

It's her right to want to live where ever she wants how she wants to live. All she is doing is wanting to live near her kind, just like my puerto rican friends won't live anywhere but the southside because they want to be by "their kind" direct quote. I see no problem with this I would like to add that living amongst no-christians is a great way to witness to non-christians and this is a goal of many christians so I think there is nothing wrong with wanting to raise your family with people like you. Have you ever seen the northside, why do you think 90% of black people live on the northside? comfort level, and it nice having people like you all around, this is why there is jewish pockets, polish pockets, hispanic pockets in every city. I have a side of my family is Jewish and I would love to live in an area of all Jews or all polish people, this might be why I still live south of I-94. One of the goals of christianity is to spread it to others, so why not live in the "belly of the beast" and try to make the neighborhood a better place. It's her choice where she wants to live and everyone doesn't have to live in a diverse neighborhood. I personally love living in Walker's Point and with a lot of gay bars around you would think a christian wouldn't want to live here, but I do. I would like to buy a historic home on 3rd-5th street but Nobody is selling them. So I could live anywhere and I think "ANgorlee" would benefit from the life lesson of living in an area of uncomfort. Why do hippies live by other hippies or artist live by other artist is because people want to live by people who have similar intrests.

That statement simply isn't true. I just moved from Denver, CO and there are absolutely no ethnic neighborhoods to speak of. The closest thing they have are strip malls that will house many Mexican or Asian retailers under one roof, but no excusive neighborhoods. Most cities west of the Mississippi and south of the Mason-Dixon don't have ethnic neighborhoods as cities like Milwaukee or Pittsburgh would have. That being said I have no problem with people preserving their ethnic heritage, but I do have a problem with someone like Angorlee saying the reason she wants to live near "her own kind" is because non-whites and non-Christians are somehow morally and intellectually inferior. That is hatred pure and simple and doesn't deserve the dignity of a thoughtful, honest response.

I never said that I wanted to live in an area because of religion and I never said that anyone is intellectually inferior. It sounds like you've had the politicaly correct brainwashing drummed into your head. All I said is that if feel best living amongst my own kind, and who doesn't feel that way?
