That's why they don't care if we kill ourselves. High crime rate drives the price of property down.

Well that's a good thing and you're welcome. Because when us Whitey's move in the crime rate goes down Jobs go up. Not to mention the neighborhood just gets all around better more classy. Unlike the current residence that have no idea what class and being human is all about.

Why would you not want it cleaned up tho? That place looks gross maybe if you took better care of the community people couldn't buy it so cheap and flip it and begin gentrification
