That is exactly, to the T, what I was going to say.

Problem is, his peeps and those that occupy the crack house's will need to find other cities/area's to live and will do what they have done to Detroit. Let Shackbozz (or what ever his name is) have it on one condition. He and his peeps must stay there. Build a wall so the whities cant get in and they cant get out.
