Cronos - I know you were only trying to help, and your comment was general..but ouch. There are some areas of the southside that are not wholly unliveable. I, in fact, manage a 49 unit apartment building located on McDivitt Road (off the Todd Drive exit on the beltline). My family and myself have worked very hard to keep our neighborhood safe, friendly and affordable. I realize there are some areas on the south side that are less than savory, and I will concede to that point. BUT there are landlords working very hard to keep up and improve the certain areas of said south side. Madison, although it is quite safe (and I say all of this as a private citizen, as Fair Housing Laws prevent me from commenting on demographics, area safety and all that stuff) We like to think that we offer a high value for our renters' dollar (and hope that our residents agree). Lest you good folks think I am here to rent an apartment, let me say we have no 2 bedrooms available in the near future...Although ours are a great value at $625!
