Is Mt. Hope a ghetto?
Jen mentioned that Mt. Hope is not an inner city ghetto. I disagree. What else would you call it? It will not improve, despite cosmetic improvements, such as that taking place on the Camp St. block between Cypress and Larch, until the area's undesirables are relocated.
When I hear people shouting in the middle of the night and I am awakened by that noise, I open my bedroom window wide and repeatedly yell: "Shut the ____ up!" That works. Try it sometime.
The convenience store at the corner of Camp and Cypress needs to be closed ASAP. It draws the wrong element.
I intend to put my condo on the market and get the ____ out of here ASAP. Worst decision of my life was buying here in June 2004.

Mt. Hope is a neighborhood, a community, an evolving mix of style and colour...perhaps that is a ghetto, if so, I like it.

I'm not going to comment on whether or not I think Mt. Hope is an "inner city ghetto", and haven't in the past.
