Housing question for Scot
Scot,
Maybe it's me, but everytime I hear or see a housing development with the word "Heights" in the name, it's always turns out to be a low income neighborhood. "Morningside Heights", "(you name it) Heights", whatever. Am I misinterpreting something or is "Heights" a PC word for "slum"?

I've noticed a trend among Georgia developers to name a housing project for whatever they destroyed to build the project. Walnut Grove....not a tree in sight, Cedar creek....Cedars have been cut long ago and a big drainage pipe was laid in the creek and covered over,and so on.

But you're right about Morningside Heights. I lived there during my graduate school days as an architecture student. Going home at 3am-6am was normal for us and it's always scary. My apt building is right across the street from Morningside Park- a place you do not want to be in after dark.
