"Sad!"

Just looked at the letter. Long, thoughtful paragraphs, lots of them, that 45 could never get through. Sad!

Btw, I used to be a real estate appraiser, and my work took me all over the socioeconomic spectrum of the Southern California sprawl, including many central city areas. People live there. Many are raising children and living their versions of the American dream right there.

Trump's a completely clueless idiot who betrays it with every word.

You will see a lot more bars on windows and scary dogs behind fences than the typical neighborhood, and I'm guessing doors are typically locked at night--except when families are out enjoying the beautiful evenings and children are their usual adorably noisy parapetic selves. But residents certainly do expect long response times when calling for public services because those neighborhoods are vastly underserved, unacceptably high crime rates accepted by the rest of the populace, and people often/sometimes always have to leave their neighborhoods to find such everyday things as supermarkets, drug stores, medical clinics, realtors, banks, and so on.
