I genuinely just wanna hear the positives about the city because all I hear is trash and negativity
Its not as bad as the media hype
I live in one of the so called worst areas...
But i have money so thats a choice on my part.
However, I have a residence in another area I rent out.
Plus midtown and downtown are nice (but overpriced and extremely gentrified.
Its mostly black city with a rich history. Part of that history is madddd violence. But not large gangs like most major cities- just regular people taking situations into their own ignorant hands.
Positives are, bars, stores, malls, museums, riverwalk, some large parks, international border, potential to get money, potential to still look and feel fly even if you dont have money, life lessons central, and.... A promising future (something most cities lack)
The politics are a combo of liberal and conservative. Best of both... Gay rights, environmental, pro black, CAC racist, big business, large unions, corp monopolies, legal weed and gun rights- all rolled in one.
