This is the Brownsville/Little Haiti Area. Very humble and unfortunately some criminals make it dangerous, but you can’t escape the fact that there is good people living by the way you see property being taken care. There might not be much on fancy landscaping, but it is not overgrown either and it is hard to find a house that does not sport a decent coat of paint.
The unnamed gentleman homeowner did more for the recovery of the area than 20 years worth of politicians’ promises.
