I wasn't talking about blighted communities, nor were you. There's a hell of a big difference between "blight" and as someone said, a community w/ a demographic that isn't as desirable to retailers. Those are the communities that the cops and the city services in general tend to blow off...allowing them to slip into full ass blight...and that's reprehensible.
