I live on the northeast side. The neighborhood I am in seems to be undergoing some kind of gentrification. They're building new houses, remodeling houses, rents are going up and property values are going up. Most of the houses in my neighborhood are 20 to 40 years old and in the realm of 1000 to 1200 ft but there is low inventory in the houses still so quickly.

When you look at the Northwest side, there's a high inventory of cheap houses. Houses aren't selling quickly. Lots of lipstick on pig, type of situations and a lot of crime.

You hear people blame the homeless because that is the f****** problem. A lot of the crime around here is committed by people that are not from here and do not belong here. The homeless trash and pollute everywhere they go and refuse any kind of real help to make their lives better.

I am not going to downvote that, because I was following until your last statement. I don't blame the homeless for the problems. I have had a naked homeless kid break into 3 of my cars within a month. I refuse to make the blanket statement "homeless because that is the f****** problem". I would be willing to go out on a limb, without any research, and say that I think crime committed by people with dwellings outnumber the crime of those without by over 200%. I would love to see the data.
