Inside Public Housing and Urban Decay
I wanted to show just how bad the poor live in some cities. Some of these places have been demolished, but it still shows the plight. I came across this site quite awhile ago http://www.angelfire.com/nv/207/

1. I can vouch for St. Louis
My dad was buried in the old cemetery downtown because that's where he bought my mother's plot back in 1959 when she died. I think we passed some of those buildings in the pictures, just last month. It's very very bad. But you know, we don't want any kind of eminent domain or telling people what to do with their private property. :eyes:

2. Hey thanks
I've been scrolling through these for the last half hour now and it's killing me...not to be flippant; but what is also killing me is some of the BEAUTIFUL architecture these houses have! I would love to help restore some of these to their original glory. Pipe dreams.....
