this article, while not wrong at all about the very small area it talks about, is very narrow and gives a completely skewed picture of my hometown.
EDIT:: I've been thinking about this article a lot tonight. and the more i think about it, the less the fact that it gives a skewed picture of the whole area matters. seems stupid of me to care about that, honestly, when things like this actually exist. and while i knew problems existed, i never honestly knew things were this bad. so yeah, that's my conscience for the night.
