In Houston I, and several others who live behind the gates on Sunset, have taken to volunteering A LOT of time in Third Ward for this very reason. You're a lot tougher target when your head is raised and you have a track record of advocating for the REAL underprivileged. Because chances are, the people denigrating you would never dare go to a place like Third Ward. (Which is a shame... because the people there are quite nice actually.)
- JumpCrisscross 13y agoCan't agree more - I volunteer at an after school programme in Harlem. It connected me with a driven, intelligent 2nd grader who couldn't concentrate because three square meals a day were beyond his family's budget. That pisses one off enough to find real solutions, not duck for political cover.

- chao- 13y agoMontrose resident here. I don't have anyone denigrating me, but I wouldn't mind helping out folks in the Third Ward. Do you volunteer with any particular group or charity?
