I’m originally from Gary. Somebody is buying all that cheap shit up like crazy. My 1st house was a 3/2 two blocks from the beach in the Miller section. Worth double now.

Same shit’s happening in Chicago - though not quite as dramatically. And mercifully without the added poison of either Facebook or Amazon. Yet. (The only people still calling Chicago affordable are recent transplants from either coast.)

It looks like she’s wearing body paint.
