Can we ban apartments entirely?

Nothing good comes out of them. They are fertile breeding grounds for crime and poverty

It wasn't a double homicide tho. The shooter was the 2nd person killed. Only 1 homicide.

I lived in those apartments back in 1998. It couldn't have been me though because that part of town is a REAL shithole nowadays.

Wasn’t there another shooting at that complex not too long ago? Sad what Sherwood has become.
