I agree with you, blame india. I lived in 27th & michigan ave for a yr, in a apt building full of black people, but never experienced like what casino is saying. You can get 1 BR apt @ around 800 (not more than 850), for sure. I donno whether Deepak is interested or not. If you work in and around downtown, it may be the best location to live, atleast for the new-commers.
