I live in a place where anything not locked up will get stolen. I agree with you that something is wrong here, and I am doing my best to fix it. But it's tightly connected with intergenerational poverty. I would love it if you would come help me.

If you're suggesting I should move, then sorry. I would love to live in the woods on a lake and live out my days. I could do that easily. But I think I have a responsibility to help solve the problems the economy that pays my rent is causing. I choose to live in the ghetto where I can see what's going on so that I can help.

If that is true, I very much respect that ...

Anyway, I suppose you know, that people usually adopt to their enviroment. So if you see not so nice changes in your ethics and livestyle, you should probably reconsider your home ...

That's an interesting assumption you're making about the ethics of people who live in ghettos.
