re: José Antonio Ibarra from Venezuela killed a student on the UGA campus.

Yes, Athens is more liberal than the majority of Ga, however, the mayor and elected officials very much care about what happens in this town! Government housing hardly exists here… the majority of housing is way overpriced student housing that apparently the parents of students here have no problem paying for…. It’s the local town folks who’ve lived here for decades that are having a difficult time affording housing. The mayor and city leaders very much care about businesses here and the safely of residents.
Do you live in Athens? If not, don’t generalize about a place you do not experience on a daily basis. I have lived here over 30 years and I have had full time jobs the entire time here and if I weren’t so lucky with the rental housing that I do have I might be homeless right now. Please don’t judge what you don’t know. It just makes you look hateful.
