    Nacional at Old La Cadena (SDE)

    Lets just agree that big cities have good and bad areas some more questionable than others. But is it not ok to classify the people of an entire municipality as criminals and lowlife.

    Nacional at Old La Cadena (SDE)

    Ouch! Why such a wide brush? I live in SDE and I'm not a criminal, drug dealer, murderer, etc. as you describe. I know many who live here too that don't fall into the types of persons you listed.

I asked how much was the annual fee...
