God help us

Does this mean that that horrible troll
"anonymous" is going to go on another
Dorchester rant?

How many hits of crack is a laptop worth?

He would, but he was walking down Dot Ave on the way to some Ethnic trendy restaurant or to take a tour of the areas historic check cashing establishments, but someone stole his laptop. ;)

That's quite a clustering

The distribution on that map is striking. You have whole neighborhoods without any foreclosures at all -- Allston-Brighton, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill, Fenway, South End, Back Bay. Then you have some neighborhoods with a few scattered dots --Roxbury, Southie, Eastie, Hyde Park, Roslindale, Mattapan. And then there's Dorchester. Wow.

It also matches up fairly well with ...

The murder map for the past year. Basically, certain poor neighborhoods are not catching a break.
