Oh absolutely. I’ve seen it firsthand. In 2001 the neighborhood I grew up in flooded. Houses that were worth 200k suddenly started selling for 5-10k (even less in some situations). 5-6 bedrooms, 2 story houses.

Poor people seen an opportunity and took it.

Even the smartest of their children were stuck. No cars, grocery store 30 miles away. They were fucked.

So where did they get their food? The gas station/convenience store, that’s where.

Children were raised on slim Jim’s and Mountain Dew.

What they could have purchased for one dollar they pay 3.

It’s a sad and ugly reality.
