Probably an urban legend. Every town has a "Rock and Roll Graveyard" or a "Resurrection Mary" or a "Goatman's Bridge." Google had this to say on the subject...

... there doesn't seem to really be any facts about it yet... just people talking about the facts... I don't like that... \nEverything you have cited so far is VERY vague... not that it isn't true... I just want more than some quotes about how great it is and a very brief description...

Your best bet in exposing this vast UHaul-NYPD conspiracy is probably going to be convincing some local TV (or perhaps newspaper) reporter that it exists. Sweeps are coming up soon, after all.\n\nGood luck with that.

I thought I would crash this party anyways. I LIKE THEM. Even if I don't believe all. They harm no one just talk God to their neighborhoods. I wish many today would do helpful nice things instead of what is happing now. Gangs, drugs, racism, crime raising at unbelievable heights.

No, it is yet another urban legend nicely disclaimed by Snopes.com, in my opinion the best site on the net to debunk such things.  Check out the details:

There is a documentary out there called "The End of Suburbia" directed by Gregory Greene.  It's worth the watch! Talks about in all the detail you could need.  i watched it and it's one heck of an eyeopener!! \n\nsorry I can't find the link to a free online version (I know there is one but I can't find it), however here's something worth looking at:\n\nhttp://eos.postcarbon.org/

Nope! Just wishful thinking.If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. A popular saying that people should pay attention to.

absolutely not. That's an urban legend.

we are becoming aware that we all have our OWN reality.\n\nSome people talk about it and that is 'rhetoric'

That email is going around, and each one says it happened in a different location.  Seems likely that it's an urban legend just based on that.

not speakin on behalf of all white people, but time and time again you have those few that have this delusional idea that society always rewards those for their hard efforts!! If that were the case, why are "developmental housing" projects continually being constructed in urban areas? key word of the day: gentrification. if u need a defintion...websters will suffice. by the way, i am an educated black woman and feel as though blacks and other minorities do try to "bite the hand that feeds us" and abuse the advantages and priviliges which have been afforded us. sometimes minorities like to harp on the fact that the world is in a downward spiral (ok..we might be close to there) and there is no hope. maybe those with fairer skin just might have a different opinion. is the glass half empty or half full?\n\n\n\nP.S.\nWOW!! MAYBE BUSH WOULD BE A GOOD PRESIDENT IF HE WERE MORE TRUTHFUL ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS AND COULD SPEAK IN WHOLE SENTENCES. IF THE INFO IS CLASSIFIED..THEN SAY IT'S CLASSIFIED DAMMIT!!! DON'T BULLSHIT AROUND THE QUESTION!! BE A MAN AND SAY SUMTHIN AND MEAN IT WITHOUT REGARD! GROW A BACKBONE! TO COMPARE BUSH TO JFK IS LIKE COMPARING LARRY FLINT TO THE DALAI LAMA!! GOD..ARE U PSYCHOTIC????
