Are there any war zones?
Sorry for my ignorance, I was wondering if there are any war zones / section 8 strong holds in Austin or the immediate area. All I read about are the good areas people are all fighting each other to get into, but nothing about the places that might have the most long term appreciation potential as the "working class / economical" areas are gentrified. I am fine breaking even for 5 years if it means great returns at the end of the yellow brick road

@Bryan Devitt standby........the misguided defund the police movement will allow crime to increase exponentially. Even if they don’t make major or direct cuts it’s a huge blow to the morale of the officers who work there and they will not be proactively looking to solve or prevent crime. It makes the job more dangerous because officers will be even more hesitant. It leaves even the best officers wondering “is this worth it?” And “why am I doing this?” 54% increase in murders from 2019 to 2020 should be an indicator of what’s to come. Just my opinion
