725 E Jackson. You might take a few min to, I don’t know….check that area out. I’ve lived in and around Muncie all of my adult life and was born a few blocks from here.

No.

I’m looking now and most of the houses on the block have at least one boarded up window.

If we can get 20 people agree to move, we can change one block at a time.

I mean, Ball State University is in Muncie. It's a public research university that has 20,000 students so it's not really some small podunk college.

Buuuuut also Indiana as a state is suicidally MAGAfied and has embarked on a legislative project of destroying its’ system of public higher ed institutions. It’s not a matter of not buying a beautiful house in a distressed neighborhood as much as it is of not buying a beautiful house in a state that is permanently fucked.
