South Side

"Lived in that area for a few years. Burdick is busy, blocks away from the police station. Frequently had the street blocked off searching for suspects, sometimes even had cops blocking us from getting in our driveway. A lot of homeless and drug addicts walking the streets. A lot of gun shots, which was hard to get used to. Outside of corner stores, it’s pretty much a food desert unless you drive 4-5 miles to Westnedge or Gull Road. One day, I had to break up a dog fight in the middle of the road. This woman who didn’t speak any English had her unneutered male pit running around, attacked the neighbors dog in the middle of the road. Traffic stopped, my neighbor and I are trying to get this stray to let go of his dog, she shows up— I have her dog by his back leg saying you got him? You sure you got him? I let go, she looses her grasp and the dog goes into my neighbors yard and attacks his dog again... after all of this, my landlord said he was raising rent $100. From $650 to $750, 650 ft/2– 1br, 1 bath, 1 closet, nothing included. We took that as our opportunity to get out. And even though we didn’t secure housing and ended up homeless, it was better than living in that area any longer. 0/10. Don’t live here. "
