And although, for example, the crime rate has increased significantly, there is STILL something about being able to watch your children grow in an environment that is not all "cement, smoke, and noise-polluted". There is something SPECIAL about watching your children learn how to mow the lawn, plant flowers, climb trees, etc. There is MUCH comfort and peace of mind in having the opportunity to be in an environment that is not in such a hurry. Besides, WHAT'S THE BIG HURRY ALL ABOUT ANYWAY?!!!  And the fact that there is currently a great migration of Blacks BACK to the South says a lot. We MUST have SOMETHING going on down here, right?

There is a LOT of the North that is not a city.
Everyone outside of the area seems the think that North= NYC, Philly, Boston but there is a lot of space in between where people have lawns, and trees, and acreage, etc. too.
Just wanted to point that out.
