I don’t live there any more that was almost 15 years ago. The entire town got flooded with illegals almost all from El Salvador(mostly good people) but the area was a sanctuary city under Obama and you couldn’t deport these ppl making it a prime target for MS13 to move in.
Brentwood NY even Trump mentioned it because it was still crazy while he was in office but they removed the sanctuary status under trump and they were able to deport these gang members.
It’s not easy to leave an area when you’ve bought a home and all your $ is invested in it and it turns into a gang infested hell hole almost overnight. It takes time to sell and who’s going to want to buy it in that area with all that going on?
Trump mentioned it by name in his speech here the place was so brutal it was national news:
