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.

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.

Listen genius I was stabled there 4 years ago when one of the hotwalkers in the barn next to us was gunned down at the stable gate. I'm sure that I have spent much more time in that neighborhood than you have. I would love to drop you off there one night with your crime rate data and see how you fare.

OK Einstein.

I suppose noone ever got killed at another racetrack? Wait it happened at Arlington a few years ago. Never mind.

Thanks for the ride offer. I'll pass. I'm already there 3-4 times a month. I can find my way around.

Louisville? Probably a higher crime rate, but it depends on the area.

BTW, you can't buy a 2 bedroom home in the GHETTO here in Orlando for under 180k. Home prices are expensive in Florida, that's all there is to it.

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.

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.

Also..at Churchill the neighbors are, for the most part, overly friendly because they are making $$$ from parking. I have no problems, and never have, in the area surrounding Churchill.

And i'm willing to bet that Louisville is FAR more segregated than Hialeah.

I haven't been to Hialeah (the track) since 2000, but I remember it being in the hood. If that's changed, then I apologize. Hell, my house is only minutes from the hood. That's how Florida rolls... you have your million dollar homes right down the street from your crime-ridden ghetto. LOL

Can't be much worse than the area around Hollywood Park.

That's right/ Just be careful at night. I don't drive much at night now; I've got a burnt out headlight.
