Go grow up and learn something.

Dude- you aren't on here enough or something!
Me:
1. Fedex pilot, former Kalitta Air, Southern Air Transport, Express One International. I have type ratings on the 727 and the 747, and have flown both of them around the world. I have been based in Washington Dulles [IAD], San Juan [SJU] Brussels Belgium [BRU], MCO, IND, MIA, YIP, and MEM, Memphis, my current base. I have lived and FLOWN around the world. Up until two years ago, I probably knew Nathan road in Hong Kong better than I knew Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale/Wilton Manors where I live.
2. Me and a business parter now have 28 units renting in FLL. We have two complexes, and 33 total units. I spend about half of my days off working on these rental units! The first complex is in an area of Fort Lauderdale called PoincianaHeights. It is fully renovated, and it is half occupied now. Most units are 500 square feet. Two of the units are 2/2, and around 800 square feet.
3. Our other rental place is in southwest Fort Lauderdale, and it involves 600 square foot single bedroom places. There is a single two/one, but it is rented.
4. Our company has three single family homes as well; One 2/1 which is rented by a family, a 3/2 rented by an older gay man, a 3/2 that is rented by three roomates, and a fourth that sits empty.
AS to your tirade about Section 8 people: we show our property in Southwest Fort Lauderdale during the morning hours ONLY. The reason for this is that in the evening...the Section 8 occupants of the places across the street tend to get "vocal". There are a lot of children running around...but from what I can tell it is just what it is: 10 year-old black kids being kids.
THERE is nothing nice about that section 8. But I would suggest you reconsider your own mores and thoughts. What makes a racist?
N!
