[quote=Anonymous]Most of what is mentioned qualifies ........ but I will say what many are not willing to acknowledge but is a huge factor in their perception of a "sketchy" neighborhood. It is when there are an increasing number of minorities. I know this because when we were looking at different areas to live, I'd be told in no uncertain terms by people who one would consider to be progressives that we should stay clear of certain areas because it was becoming an increasingly Hispanic area. It was always couched in terms that would also include references to schools being not up to par because of Hispanics, ESOL, etc.[/quote]
