but yeah, a lot of money not staying in the community like that is generally not a good thing.

though the best way I've found to tell a good neighborhood is the beer selection in the corner bodega/local grocery store. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:25 7
- True. Also, how many bars are on the windows of the liquor store. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:28 5
  - or even the classic plexiglass partition. - znufrii Jan 12, 11:29 3
    - All of these warning signs are understandable, but all put together you run a high risk of choosing a boring neighborhood. At least here, anyway. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:32 2
      - and I'm not saying you should avoid them altogether, necessarily. - znufrii Jan 12, 11:35 1
        
        I'm sure I've mentioned how much I love my neighborhood, even though it violates most of these -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:37
  - You know, bars on any first floor dwellings, especially new ones, is a sign -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:29
- A man can not live on malt liquor alone -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:27
it's the whole package I'm referring to. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:24 1
- oh yeah, definitely. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:25
