Are you off your goddamn meds? I wasn't insulting you. I have more experience in that area than you may think. Just the decline I watched over the past two years was more than I can stomach. I had a drive-by murder right across the street from my building on Price. I had an armed home invasion next door on Chateau. I had to watch cops that were afraid to get out of their cars at night we called them for drug dealers and other loiterers on my property. I had a former tenant get stoned and kill her kid. So don't act like I sit up here in the suburbs of Green Twp and don't know what's going on. I've been there and done it. If things weren't already lousy enough, you've got a piece of crap President who just loves these thugs and is throwing money at CMHA to add 50 more people on Sec. 8 vouchers per month. Where do you think a good chunk of that swine will slop? Yep, Price Hill. But even if you guys think none of that matters and Elder somehow exists in it's own bubble, one piece of data that you can't deny comes from the Census. Cincinnati leads Ohio in population decline and is losing residents at a rate of 2800 people per year. If that weren't bad enough, the rate is actually accelerating from 9% in the 90's to 10% in the 2000's. Following current trends, it's estimated Cincinnat's population will be down to roughly 265,000 residents by the end of the decade. So even if they're willing to combat the thuggery and other problems specific to Price Hill, how to they survive the economics and demographic shifts to Cincinnati as a whole?
These are legitimate questions, does anyone have a legitimate answer or does name calling suffice when you can't challenge reality?
