The demise of Hialeah is one of the saddest chapters in racing in recent years. However the greed of the madman that owns the lease pretty much assured it fate. As for housing there, I hope they are offering bulletproof windows and kevlar vests as incentives to buy.

Last time I checked, Hialeah was in the hood.

You spend a lot of time in Hialeah?

Crime there is at the nat'l average. I wonder where, oh say, Louisville Kentucky rates? All I know is you cannot build a new 4 br home there for under $450k. Blanket statements like the one made above are just dumb.

I wouldn't live down there. I am only about an hour and a half away from there. But then again, I wouldn't want to live where I work in West Palm Beach either.

Based on what I've read in this thread I was thinking of getting you a place.

What the frick with statistics for a whole city? Who gives a sh.it? Chuck is talking about the area around the racetrack.

Stat fans get the stats for a mile radius of Churchill and Hialeah.

I was stabled at Hialeah for three years from 2000 to the last year it was open in 2004. I was pulled over by the police three seperate times going to work because I was a white guy driving a Luxury SUV in that area. The reason that I was pulled over each time was because I was in a high drug area at an unusual time and I was white. I can recall at least three incidents of people being shot or shot at while stabled there. The mexicans hated to go there because they pretty consistently got mugged when they left the track at night or beat up because they were Mexican. Half the crime in the area goes unreported because many of the people who live there are illegals who keep a low profile. You can site you stats all you want but I saw it first hand.
