hahaha

the city of Raleigh ran the students in that area off with all the complaints and fears of drinking and partying...created a police substation to handle that area...eventually closed it after they successfully smashed Brent Road...

they did the same thing in the 1980s to Hillsborough Street

and then the riffraff moves in to fill the vacuum and now it's worse than it ever was when the students were the main population

congrats city of Raleigh, you did it to yourself

Mr french, you are right, I know some families that have lived in Brentwood for over 30 yrs and cant even sell their house for what they could've 6 yrs ago, it makes you want to cry

I would honestly rather live in a tent in the woods than in a housing project. This is why! I'd have a better chance of surviving the elements than the dangerous scum that live there!

You go, Steve!!!

I never knew how a person drawing disability because they could not work could create babies. If they are able to do that hard work they could work somewhere. ladyblue

I've never understood that either. Nor have I ever understood how these young girls with more children than sense get $400-$500 in food stamp money (and never worked a day in their lives) while our elderly (most of whom have worked hard all their lives) get $10 a month. Where's the logic?

The corner of Sherman and Clanton is also home to immigrants, illegal and legal. The apartment buildings on that corner are not public housing, just cheap. I know some families that tried to live there. They were new to the US, in the country legally, and didn't know any better. Rent was cheap and they could walk to work at businesses along Western. Neighbors "living in the shadows" were noisy until all hours of the morning. Police were called frequently, but no one seemed daunted by the police. All varieties of human life sauntered by and the cockroaches ruled. Fortunately they have been able to move.
