Here's a quick economics lesson for the slow. When property values increase, so do property taxes. Alot of the people who own property in that neighborhood are elderly and on a fixed income. When the property taxes increase alot of these people are not going to be able to afford it and they will lose the houses that alot of them have lived in for 30 plus years. Some people weren't born with a silver spoon shoved up their butt, they can't run home to daddy when they need a few thousand bucks.

And about the so-called southern heritage. I'm quite positive that my family has been in the south as long, if not longer than alot of the people going around waving the confederacy in people's faces. Is the confederacy suppose to be my heritage too? I don't find treason against the United States, losing a war, and the glorification of oppression to be something to be proud of.
