Saying poor areas are crime ridden is not controversial, nor does it imply one thing or another about said people. It's just a fact of life.

I have lived in poor areas more than once. They were not crime ridden. So yes, that is controversial.

But I do love that your solution is for for poor people is to buy a home in what you say is a crime ridden area. Yeah, you really don't hate them.

Lol...no...no you haven't lived in a poor area. Nice try though.

I lived in South Gate, California, which borders Compton and Watts. Where have you lived?
