Jackson Jambalaya

As usual, KF scoops everyone with a great investigative report !

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter to anyone except the souls that remain in Hinds County
either by choice or lack of means to move.

On a separate note, following the "bleach in the face" attack at the store in the (Hip, Funky, Crime-Free, HISTORIC Fondren District ) ,
I decided to check out the area. The "for sale" signs in Woodland Hills amazed me.

Apparently a good dose of Clorox in the face is what it took to wake up many evil rich people that have been in denial .

BTW, I'm glad the Fondren crime victim is OK.

Not sure what the hell 'bleach in Fondren' has to do with the Hinds Board of Supervisors.

We need an alternative to watching Reid and Biden so it's good to see quality, local politics at work.

Its too easy to prop up Anderson and have him utter, when cued by Lieutenant Graham of the Jackson Police Department, inaudible and muffled sounds or gurgles to represent supposed 'Aye' votes.

If Lt. Graham rearranges the chairs to have Anderson sit between him and Stokes then you'll know that Anderson has actually deceased but is still attending and voting.

Voting the Graveyard has always been popular down here.

I really don't get your amazement at the listings in Woodland Hills. I know this may surprise you, but the affluent do dare to live in Jackson. I think that is proven by the listings of the 4 amazing homes for sale in Woodland Hills priced at $580K, $900K, $1M, and $1.25M. Are you amazed by those prices, or is there something else? Wealthy people will continue to buy there, and like any other healthy neighborhood, you will see for sales signs as people move in and out.

Where's the 'like' button?

12:09 So who's buying there at those prices? These were "For Sale" signs, not announcements of closings.

12:09 here... Who's buying at those prices you ask? People who can afford it! I have several colleagues who live in Woodland Hills and many more who would like to live there.
You're correct that for-sale signs don't equal closings but if I was selling a high-end home in the metro area, I couldn't think of a better place to try and get my money back.

"and many more who would like to live there."

With the listings you posted about, sounds like there is opportunity for some of them to fulfill the dream.

Therein lies the problem! Everyone who wants to live there cannot afford to live there. If I could afford to live there, I would snap one up.

The best thing about Woodland Hills and Fondren is the above ground sewage pipes. Prices are about to skyrocket!

You've got me on the infrastructure issues. The city has long had infrastructure issues and prices will remain steady. Notwithstanding that, I can honestly say that I know more young couples (and, yes, even those with school aged children) moving into the city than moving to the surrounds these days. Maybe they know something you don't!

There is your problem with Jackson in a nutshell. Weak-minded ninnies like 3:27 ready to bend over and accept the status quo.

Shadowfax swallows ...(gulps) ...bait quicker than a hungry blue gill at the rez .

No one denies an active real estate market in Woodland Hills . Point is, the public "for sale signs" were
not needed in that " hood" until the last few years.

10:22; Shadowfax has made no comment here about real estate in Woodland Hills. Try to pay attention.

It's usually easy to determine those who are actually weak-minded, as they frequently resort to name calling when expressing their disagreement. I do wonder how far your criteria for weak-mindedness extends. Does it include people who buy older homes because they like the 'character' and they accept the fact that there will be more maintenance than your new cookie-cutter. Does it include people who buy used cars knowing it'll need service before the shiny one on the lot because they want to save a few bucks. I could go on, but in both situations someone acknowledges that things aren't perfect but it is still their preference. We all make choices on what is important to us and what we will and will not accept. Weighing the options to decided which side of the county line you'll live on doesn't make anyone weak-minded, especially in light of those practically equating the city with the third world. Try again.

Hinds County ... A World of Difference!
