South holland homewood and especially racist ass tinley park is not the hood most of the south west suburbs is still pretty nice (outside of Joliet) now the south east suburbs (dolton,cal city,Harvey,my hood Chicago heights,riverdale,Robbins,Sauk village and ford heights )yeah that shyt is fukked

no I listed a variation of places people moved to when they left the westside & southside projects. Hell u can drive through south holland right now & see the numbers of houses on the market. The white people are leaving that area. I highly doubt south holland will become another Harvey. But it's not like it was +20 years ago.

I don't really feel bad. Black people act like there's no such thing as "class". As if because we're all Black, we should always want to live among each other. No. I don't want to live next to the nikkas who lived in Cabrini Green anymore than white people want to live next to dirt poor meth heads. Good, well to do, educated black families, I'd welcome them. A bunch of violent criminal drug dealers and black disciples. FOH.

Best post. My thoughts exactly. In the Bay, all these Section 8 niccas being pushed out to Stockton, Antioch and Pittsburg. Niccas bring the hood with em. I don't understand niccas in 2000 square foot houses with niccas out front with dreads and sagging ass pants. Nikkas kill property value and each other. Things are different now that I'm older and married. I'm not trying to see none of them niccas as neighbors
