As a child growing up in Jackson back in the 70's and even early 80's this is heartbreaking to see all these homes and landscaping go to trash now from when remembering how plush, clean and green everyone yards looked. Beautiful painted homes and bright brick layed housing. Neighbors blocks beyond knew every child and their parents that treated all like their own child to feed them or care after. We used to go a block away from home to the "candy house" where our elders had ice treats and candy or chips to give children for free no money. These homes were built and established by the sweat of our grandparents/great grandparents that worked an earnest living sustain themselves for their families. Haven't been back to Jackson in 28 years. It's just heartbreaking 💔 to see this now.

I would say forget renting and think buying in Jackson as all this negative press has made the price of houses there dirt cheap. In 2002 I was shocked to find out I could buy a beautiful 3br rambler home on a quarter acre lot in West Jackson for about 8,000 dollars. I bought it and lived in it for 8 years with no negative incidents to report despite the neighborhood being quite rough. Best decision ever. With my rent savings I was able to build up my paper and eventually move out of Jackson to a much better and safer city and I thank that cheap house for making it happen.

Well duh… if you put a bunch of poor people in a wealthy city, how do you expect them to upkeep it with no money and no resources… ?that’s part of why Jackson looks like this in the first place. It used to really be thriving, until it was literally burned to the ground in the 1860s after the turmoil of the civil rights movement. It made a temporary rebound but it’s been struggling ever since. After desegregation, white flight happened and when they left they took their tax dollars with them… please don’t be dense. This isn’t a black and white issue, I mean that figuratively and literally. It’s very layered and complex.
