Anywhere around Carbondale is an excellent choice.
Don't know if you have seen Cairo lately, but it's pretty rough now.
Also, are you familiar with the southern Il./Egypt connection?
Very interesting IMO.
Yeah I saw a lot of bad publicity around/about Cairo being a "ghost town" with rising crime rates but you can buy/build a nice piece of property down there for a fraction of what you'd pay up here.
Not sure if more residential neighborhoods have gone up in Carbondale I haven't been there in over 5 years but I'm at the point of selling my current property because I can get top dollar right now.
The Egypt/Cairo connection is so fascinating and interesting and to think that Egyptians may have made it up the Mississippi a 1000+ years before Leaf Ericson made it down the Mississippi is wild. Ironic how the Egyptians used the Mississippi the same way they used the Nile to produce lush crop fields. Has connections to Memphis too!

1. i was born there, i didnt grow up there, moved away before i was even in size 2 diapers and wasnt rich at all.
2. i never said the city was safe, in fact i made reference to the fact that a part of the city isnt safe (the south side)
3. if i was to implement something, as the non liberal that i am with a non liberal bias and likely a lot more guns and ammo than you have, i'd target illegal guns specifically before i did anything to legal gun ownership.
ive posted a lot in this thread about how difficult of an issue it is, then said to you almost no one is talking about banning guns entirely, yet you're still commenting at me in an entirely illogical way. my point was simple, not all gun control legislation invariably leads to gun ownership bans on a slippery slope. we have thousands of gun control laws in this country that haven't. in fact chicago has many of the most harsh gun control laws anywhere in the US other than perhaps NYC, and you can and do still legally carry a gun into town. and still dont see the contradiction you made. o well.
Any infringement on the right to bear arms in any way/shape/form is a violation of the Bill of Rights and it's a tragedy that as all these restrictions/laws were put in place and gun crime rates have only gone up only supporting the notion that they don't work. Are you one of those people who believes Freedom of Speech should be modified the same way the Right to Bear Arms has been? Because that's what happened. It enables all of our basic rights to be modified to fit an agenda that is contradictory to the fundamental laws that form the backbone of this country. Not trying to argue with you bud and maybe I went off topic or I took something out of context but that's the internet for ya
