It hinders it! these demands are ridiculous! black ppl can live anywhere they want to in this city. what does the street name have to do with it. this truly makes me ill. find a new hobby. meals on wheels is always looking for drivers! i have to admit, i don’t watch the local news (it depresses me) and i’m generally unaware of the goings on in local politics.
