to see less than adequate housing along the tracks and for blocks around. Trains are loud and regular, carry all kinds of scary stuff that falls off and so its a social justice/environmental justice situation.

Many around here are not attached to convenience or cosmetics, Mother Nature rules the place, we just try to keep her from killing us, many options for shelter are put to use and usually within one's means, which are pretty spare in these parts as well. We have resorts, ranches and trophy homes that look like the pictures in the magazines and then there are the rest of us who live on and in what we are able to get. Resourcefulness is the name of the survival game. At some point, aesthetics don't matter as much as some are lead to believe.
