re: How long before Sherwood Forest goes full ghetto?

I live in this area, right off Flannery and Goodwood.
It's pretty much already there. It used to be a safe neighborhood when I was little, but now the ghetto of North BR has expanded across Florida into our part of Sherwood Forest. You never heard gunshots around here 15 years ago, now it's multiple times a week. Once it's dark, you stay inside.
Once I get my Masters degree, my parents are gonna retire and sell the house while it's still worth decent value. The Section 8 apartments have taken their toll on property values here. Other parts of Sherwood aren't as bad yet, but it'll get there soon unless something drastic changes.
This actually ties in very well to the death of St. Louis King of France, where I went to school as a kid. The white middle class families like us are dying off or leaving this area in droves and not coming back. There's not much any of us can do about it.

Section 8 apartments are out of control in BR. The property owners that go section 8 have helped kill the shite hole faster

We probably know each other. It pretty much goes hand-in-hand with how St. Louis is going. They are actually closing the school at the end of this school year
