The Poverty In Mississippi Is Unlike Anything You've Ever Seen

[Music] hey what we got going on we're doing a music video oh really yeah you want to be in it you want to tell me something real quick what kind of music video what are you doing we're doing about belzona tell me what belzone is like well belzon is a place you want to come here man this this really like a retirement home place but it's a wonderful Community here man and uh low on crime That's Mike I was driving around the Mississippi Delta one day just kind of looking around and he flagged us down we were in belzona one of the poorest parts of the Delta and just marveling at how abandoned and poor the place looked by then nothing really shocked us this was perhaps the fourth day I had spent in rural Mississippi documenting the decline of the region but it wasn't until that afternoon in belzona that it kind of sunk in though despite the poverty and the setbacks and there's really nothing here that's getting better A lot of the people here are sort of upbeat and positive I think they kind of like it here and that really surprised me if you travel throughout the US you'll see a growing number of our communities that are suffering from Decades of economic decline many of our inner cities are crumbling entire neighborhoods are being abandoned but this is on another level we're in the Mississippi Delta the poorest Corner in the poorest state in America this is where the decline of the United States is the most Dreadful [Music] [Music] in the words of William Faulkner to understand the world you must first understand a place like Mississippi now I don't know what he meant when he said those words but I'm going to guess it had something to do with the condition of the place back then William Faulkner spent his days in Mississippi back in the early 1900s that was when Mississippi began to embody all the problems we see in the world right now extreme economic disparity racial tensions the reality of how fast the world can change Mississippi setbacks then represented what we see in the nation now and all these themes are only magnified here these days it looks like another country doesn't it maybe not third world but two and three quarters world nope this is here this is America it was day 12 on my Southern adventure and up to this point I had seen a lot of bad things but nothing like what I saw in Mississippi as soon as you cross into the state it really hits home the Mississippi Delta is a region that's along the Mississippi River on the western side of the state it's pretty large the whole area is bigger than Connecticut there really isn't a lot of diverse scenery here it's flat boring and very hot and humid driving around it's all dusty empty stretches of bad roads and a lot of farmland and sprinkle between all of this or really poor small towns some call it the most southern place on Earth others call it America's Ethiopia I crisscrossed back and forth across the Delta for five days when I was down here in the spring of 2023 along the way I stopped in just about every small town I came to I looked at all the decay of the downtowns and drove through neighborhoods that are far far beyond the times just about every place here looks like it's been spiraling downwards since the mid-1900s and as far as I know there's nothing being done to turn things around being so close to the river the soil here is spectacular I mean you ask people here what makes this place so special and they'll tell you it's the dirt in the old days the cotton fields made a lot of people down here a lot of money well not a lot of people most of them were rich white Farmers but times were good in this area back then for a lot of folks however as you know the Civil War ruined a lot of this so a lot of people left then in the late 1800s black landowners were disenfranchised and things only got worse in the Delta as a lot of the plantations here began using mechanization every tractor that came in here replaced eight families so even more people went up North for work I mean they had lost all their land and their careers too it wasn't until the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement that blacks in the South were treated sort of equally but by then a lot of this area was already far behind and what's here now is all pretty bleak it's basically one of the most miserable looking places you've ever seen it's pretty clear there's not a lot of jobs for people down here that's their biggest problem down here now there just aren't very many companies opening up here that pay very well and technology is pretty much wiped out most of the farming jobs even the catfish Farms had provided some jobs but China is beating Mississippi at producing cheaper catfish now I know Mississippi getting beaten at catfishing by the Chinese right now we're in belzona which is or was the catfish capital of the world the population here is less than 2 000 people today which is about half of what it was 50 years ago and the declines accelerating this place has lost a third of its population in the last 20 years alone about 40 percent of folks are on welfare here the average person here earns a little bit more than a thousand bucks a month a lot of the homes are falling down now or in serious need of repair downtown belzona used to have some sort of life but I think there's only a couple places that are still open now they say the downtown square is where communities gather and thrive there's not a lot of that here anymore all of this is in the middle of the Delta surrounded by Farmland an hour in every direction the nearest big cities the capital of Jackson which is 70 miles away so there doesn't seem to be a future here it was here in belzona where we met Mike the guy who stopped us when we were looking around and you got plenty of peoples that have invested in the community a lot of businesses and it's just a wonderful place I grew up around on these streets here you know and uh it's a nice place to be you know my name is Michael and that's all I can say catfish capital of the world bro thanks Michael yes sir appreciate you man y'all have a good day all right all right Mike seems to be upbeat in a world literally crumbling around him I admired that I'd see some more of that as I explored the region more later in the week this is Shaw Mississippi it's about an hour north of belzona and there's nothing between the two except for miles and miles of farms there were only 1400 people left here when I visited but there's probably fewer people here by the time you watch this they've lost a quarter of their population in the last decade alone this place is even poorer than the first place we stopped at entire families bring in less than 20K a year I think the average person in Shaw earns about 900 bucks a month half of Shah lives off of government assistance alone entire schools are closed here something I saw all over the delta there's just no reason to keep these places open since the population's shrinking so fast and they can't get any teachers to come work in the delta not many young eager teachers want to come down here and earn low salaries and live like this can't blame them school's gone the state ranks fifth in Dropout rates at eight percent schools just don't have a lot of money they just try to do the best they can to get the kids off to college and hope they never have to come back but nothing's really changed down here it's always been like this with education and Mississippi ranks first in teenage pregnancies a lot of the country is slowing down with having kids but not here downtown Shaw looks just like any other has been Delta Community the entire three block stretch of this downtown is just gutted outside of a couple non-profits I don't think I saw a single business open anymore it all looks like something you expect to see in third world Caribbean you might remember when I drove through Appalachia this winter in Appalachia it was a lot of poor white people who dealt with a coal crash down here it's mostly poor black people who have gone through an agriculture crash here in Shaw it's 95 African-American Appalachia in the Deep South actually have a lot in common they both care deeply about religion and vote by the color of their skin as a whole the state of Mississippi is in really bad shape what we're looking at right now is the extreme version of that but Statewide things are not pretty there's kind of a joke here now Mississippi's first on every bad list and last on every good list it's all the categories they're unhealthy the education is far behind and there is lots and lots of poverty 20 of the entire States on welfare now and that's double the US average there just aren't a lot of healthy food options down here since there aren't very many conventional grocery stores a lot of people live on fast food and a lot of the kids survive on chips and soda where we are now is in Leland Mississippi a teeny little place in the middle of nowhere with 4 800 people home Sierra averaged 59 000 but then you turn a corner and most of the houses you see are closer to ten thousand dollars I bet you could get something to rent here for 200 bucks a month maybe they should Market themselves as the retirement capital of the South promote land sales to seniors that want to get out of the big cities for some peace and quiet I'm not kidding you see towns like this every 20 minutes driving around the delta here's a place I saw driving around that I couldn't record because the camera died there's a lot of opportunity I guess somebody just needs to come down here with some money and snag all this up there is a lot of room this isn't just in the Bible Belt it's the damn buckle so it's really surprising when you see churches burned out and left behind or maybe not half the state is Baptist there's four times more Baptists here than anywhere else in the country eighty percent of people in Mississippi say they're highly religious I mean religions how a lot of these people cope a lot of people are told to pray and good things will happen and their fortunes will change there's a lot of whatever may come will come around here what if they replace our Bibles with math and science books would that help Mappy that was probably the most insensitive thing you've ever said just because you think you know it all just asking stop asking [Music] we take for granted things like decent jobs good schools Wi-Fi public transportation reliable sewers grocery stores and medical insurance they don't have a lot of that down here no one guy told a newspaper reporter I'm trying to move my family I'd rather live in a doghouse than here damn I'm not just picking on Mississippi although this is an extreme example of how bad things are in the Deep South I mean here's a look at the most miserable States they're all right around here it's the Bible Belt the divorce belt the murder belt the smoking belt and the low life expectancy belt it's just crazy how much the health fortunes have changed here back in the 1960s a lot of kids here were so malnourished that they had distended bellies now it's the fattest region in the nation it's a lot of diabetes it's a lot of gas station chicken gizzards skull fast food and double whiskey and red bulls they call Mound Bayou The Jewel of the Delta if you can believe it maybe at one time it was I didn't see anything down here that's a shiny example of how life should be the population here is 1500 down from a quarter in the last two decades all of this these two seem to like it here hey hey too much to change you know it's just that it ain't many peoples in here as as it used to be but instead of Delta his eye I won't go nowhere that's nice we've been here all our life so it's it's good everybody know everybody you know yeah some conflicts every now and then but other than that everybody get along pretty good yeah I we travel a lot I go to a lot of big cities and I see all the problems and yeah I don't like the big cities I don't I've been there I'm a truck driver so I go all over so I I'd rather stay right here yeah it's comfortable yeah how important is religion to people out here I see churches oh yeah they they're real religious they go to church it's it's a lot of church going people yeah what do people do for fun out here well we have baseball football basketball games you know they they're just saying a lot you know they do that this place over there where basketball court [Music] again more people I talk to on the side of the highway that expressed optimism despite everything you're seeing now that kind of says a lot about the mentality down here I don't know if it's a defeatist mentality or they're just content but that's how they feel we saw lots of smiles and waves when we were down here some people seemed outright cheery everybody still has land a home a couple of guns a couple cars a haircut food on the table booze and a new pair of shoes maybe that's all they need this is author Hank birding he's an expert on the Delta I spent some time with him one evening and one of the questions I asked him was Hank I travel a lot I see a lot of poor places it's only down here that everybody seems so happy why is that and they're not in many places you can't go whomever you are on the delta that you don't know somebody from that town if you get into trouble you make one call somebody makes a call then everybody comes to help you if that's what the Delta's about so a lot of this might look bad and scary for Outsiders but it doesn't feel threatening or anything it's not particularly dangerous in the delta these towns are just so small that it's hard to get away with anything I'm sure thefts and robberies are a thing though this is downtown Yazoo City there's a few signs of life but not much the Mississippi Delta has been very political John F Kennedy came down here and toured the area in the 60s and what he saw made him literally cry the poverty in filth was something he hadn't seen before he said it was worse than a third world country he didn't have any time to help though because he was assassinated shortly after coming down here they fight over funding here all the time the state turns down federal dollars because they don't want to be beholden to Washington they even turn away programs that would help school kids and give people decent Health Care the current governor here Tate Reeves has sent back hundreds of millions of dollars in welfare and rental assistance money because he calls them liberal handouts that encourage people to stay out of the workforce he might be onto something though the black author Thomas Sewell once said that government policies created cultures of dependency on government and that welfare creates stagnation we have an overly generous welfare state that has lulled poor blacks into a permanent state of dependency and sloth he said in case you're wondering almost the entire State votes heavy red but not here Jackson and Biloxi and the Mississippi Delta are the state's Democratic strongholds well there are you know it's not only a higher upper echelon and a lower poverty line there is everybody in between now there's also a big welfare situation here which I don't think it's too sporty because I have seen where some people take advantage of that and that's not good for the community that's not good for the people that are doing that and they're not good for the government you know you've got this uh aid for Defender ADC aid for dependent children you've got I've seen some families on porches where you had three generations of welfare recipients and if you got two babies and if you had four babies you get four times as much money that ain't right and each one a lot of them have different baby daddies and I don't think that is the way it's supposed to be I don't think that's the way the system was designed for it to be but that may be the way that some people are taking advantage of that system now I don't have a dog in that fight other than I pay my taxes but I've seen that and I don't think that's good for society I think there's a lot of people mooching off the system here there's a lot of people here who just plain need government help to survive it's not like they're not working just to not work there aren't really a lot of good jobs but then you ask people why don't you just leave and they'll say this is my home my friends and family and church are all here I'm not going anywhere the money thing down here gets really complicated a lot of the money that does make its way into the community usually goes to the big farming corporations and they don't even employ the locals anymore it's hard to find local workers for whatever Farms are left people here don't want to do it or can't do it a lot of the Farms down here are bringing in workers from South Africa they're the only ones that'll come down here and do the work and they're the only ones who can do it anyways there's a big disparity between the Haves and have-nots down here in the 1800s there were more millionaires per capita here than anywhere else now there's more broke people per capita than anywhere else [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] a lot of people have heard of Shelby Mississippi they're down to 2 000 people here now and I saw a lot of Abandonment here it's all over the place their downtown is pretty much gutted at this point okay one reason folks down here are so unhealthy is there just aren't a lot of hospitals left anymore more than half the hospitals in rural Mississippi are on the verge of collapse they're gonna shut him down because the people who live here can't afford to pay the bills and if you don't pay your bill the hospital doesn't make any money at this Hospital right here they're threatening to cut off the maternity care unit Mississippi already has the nation's highest fetal mortality rate and the highest infant mortality rate and the highest number of babies born preterm and the highest number of moms that die giving birth my God but how come the hospital stay open they're a business too now Clarksdale is a bit of a bright spot down here sorta this is where I stayed on one of the nights I was in town it's a fairly large city for Delta standards there's 14 000 people in town now but it's lost 30 percent of its population the last 20 years one day it might be just as small as the towns we saw earlier there's much more culture here in Clarksdale and more money here because it's sort of a touristy spot this is widely known as the home of the Blues they host the Delta juke joint Festival here every year I took in a show one night when I was in town and listened to Blues Legend watermelon Slim however even though Clarksdale sort of hanging on it's very bleak just sort of a little bit better than the other Delta communities that I saw Cleveland is supposed to be the nicest place in the Delta so I drove through Cleveland one afternoon to see what they considered nice downtown looks pretty empty but much more inviting than most of the rest of the Delta I have to say there's Under 12 000 people in Cleveland and they've lost 30 percent of their population in the last 25 years so I don't know how much it's thriving however people earn closer to 2 000 a month in incomes here which is far more than most of the other towns I saw it's just amazing that 25k a year is considered good another little town I saw that has some fairly nice in some parts is little Leland there were some pretty decent homes here that I hadn't seen on my Delta Drive I looked it up and these houses were worth anywhere between 95 000 and 350 000 I know right and it's right along a little river too seems like a bargain to me if you have low expectations for life but nice beautiful homes and then there's Greenville it's the biggest city down here with about 28 000 people but it is not pleasant nor is it thriving parts of Greenville are just one big giant Hood there's no other way to put it just about every Delta Town I drove through seemed pretty low-key just poverty and abandonment didn't feel on edge not here no the whole place feels sketch cell phone service is terrible there aren't any decent hotels and there's nowhere to eat I actually got lost here for the first and only time on the entire month-long journey and I had a flag a cop down to figure out how to get the hell out of town there's closed down factories all over the delta here in Greenville there was a Fruit of the Loom plant and a Schwinn Factory they're long gone Greenville once had more literary writers per capita not anymore they don't there were once a lot of Mining and shipping and agriculture jobs here but President Carter's grain embargo shut a lot of that down so you can really see how political decisions can impact communities before I left Greenville I stopped at a subway to get something to eat it was really the only option that wasn't fast food inside I saw a woman who works for FEMA buzzing away on her laptop catching up on work I asked her is there a disaster nearby and she just kind of looked at me inside I think the whole area is a disaster to be honest so whose fault is this the government's fault for not doing anything or the people's fault for not doing anything yeah it's up to them to do their part to change but a lot of this would be avoidable if we'd stop blowing dough all over the place and make it so appealing for our largest companies to just leave part of the problem is mississippians just don't want to change it's a very deep strange complicated place with an ugly past that still influences the culture and way of life a lot of these folks will just keep plugging along a lot of them will stay proud and generous and very kind there's a lot of problems here but there's no problem in Mississippi that's not in every other state they're just magnified here and Mississippi's bad at hiding them driving around here on my last day I wondered are these people fading away from us or are we fading away from them [Music] [Music] now I'm going to show the rest of the interview with Hank Burdine he's a Mississippi Delta Legend and the author of dust in the road Recollections of a Delta boy Hank and I sat down and talked in the shade on the grounds of the Belmont Plantation the last remaining Plantation in the Mississippi Delta the two of us had a pleasant conversation while we got eaten alive by early spring Skeeters why is the Delta so special it's the dirt it's the dirt from 41 percent of the continental United States and two provinces of Canada uh it was a primeval hardwood bottomland swamp you couldn't get in here uh until the 1800s there really wasn't much clearing going on around here except along the river and then the plantations began being formed and the loggers came in began logging the trees and opening up all this land to this cotton production and you uh because of that then you had aristocratic families from Kentucky that came down from South Carolina these Kentucky folks right here at Belmont Plantation you had Virginians come down so in all of the big houses they loaded their music rooms up with branded pianos and our hopsy cords cellos violins and stock their libraries with literature from all over the world and from that came the artistic cultural and literary explosion that came right here in Greenville Mississippi was at one time known to have more Riders per capita in anywhere else in America because of the William Alexander Percy influence with the Shelby foots The Walker Percy's The Hiding Carters the uh all these people that came in visiting with him and that just emanated through the Delta so the Delta is more of a unique State of Mind than anything else it's got some of the most productive Farmland in the world it has been said to Deer Creek which is about four miles from here the Lord could have made better dirt than Deer Creek but he figured he just didn't need to so uh it it's a unique place uh not a lot of Industry here all agricultural uh the Mississippi River Ride pad one time Greenville was known as the tow boat capital of the world we had 38 different towing companies here uh in Greenville the river right through Greenville on Lake Ferguson was known as the million dollar mile and uh tremendous industry there but after the President Carter days and the grain embargo most of those Industries shut down and moved up to Paducah Kentucky we still have a couple of uh towing companies and ship building places on the lake now but um the the situation in the Delta now we've got a great eco-tourism business being built back on the blues you got Clarksdale which is based on the blues and it's making a very strong Resurgence Greenwood had a real big kick when Viking came in there and started all of its Industries Indianola has the BB King Museum Cleveland has the Grammy Museum and Dockery Plantation which is supposed to be the birthplace of the Blues that's where uh uh Charlie Patton came from so the blues Resurgence is really coming back strong around here a lot of stuff is left agriculture manufacturing the Delta is known not for being one of the richest areas it's one of the poorest now how what's happened here that's that's that the challenges of this area the challenge is back during the days after the Civil War was to be able to continue to plant cotton and grow cotton with a very limited labor Supply and what happened there is this rich soil was being cleared the timber was being cut they got into a system called sharecropping where a family could look after about 26 28 acres of land had a house on there and he was given unlimited credit at The Company Store we could get all the food he wanted and everything like that to close the boots and everything he was supplied with a mule he was supplied with the implements and the seed to grow the cotton and he was responsible to Growing about 20 something Acres of cotton his family and his family and out of when the cotton was picked out of that the indebtedness that was at the store came out of his shower the landowner kept his share and whatever was left over went to the shack Cropper now at that time some of those systems could have been manipulated in a wrong way but there were very very few instances of that most of the people knew that they had to keep good labor and good workers on the farm so they treated them fairly and they treated them properly and that was the only system that could happen until the mechanization came along where the tractors came along and at Hobson Plantation in Clarksdale Mississippi where the shackle pen is that was the first Plantation to totally mechanize to go from sharecropping with mules to paid farm labor on tractors and for every tractor that hit that place it took out eight families off of that farm because that one tractor could do the work of eight families so that was the beginning of the Northwood migration of Labor out of the Mississippi Delta and uh it's always been a disparity of racial population more black population than white population and if it was that the majority of the white population owned the land and the businesses and the black population uh did all the work whether that was really true or not I can't really say other than it possibly was but we have some tremendous black entrepreneurs here they have been able to build stores build businesses and uh the Delta never really had I don't other than in a couple of instances had a major racial problem one thing being because of that Senator Leroy Percy made it a fact and made it one of his most important things was to keep the Ku Klux Klan out of the delta now there may have been an ulterior motive in that because had the clan made a strong position in the Delta it may have run a lot of the labor off of the Farms for whatever reason the clan was kept out of the Delta to a large degree as opposed to the way it was over in what we call the Hills simply because they would just would not allow them in here so uh today we've got a I don't say a racial situation because of what I saw this last weekend rolling for Mississippi when when the tornado came and hit it was a the tornado hit about 7 30 8 o'clock at night I got a call at 8 30 from a friend of mine in Arkansas and he did a tour of Duty in Afghanistan he's with uncle Hank me and 20 other guys on the way to Rolling Fork I said man I said I don't know what you're going to see he said we don't care what we're going to find we're on the way he called me at 10 30. they were already on the ground dodging electric lines literally pulling people from under houses and out of trees and he says I spent four years in Afghanistan I've never seen anything like I'm looking at right now by daylight that next morning the Cajun Navy had come out of Louisiana they didn't bring their boats they brought chainsaws boots and gloves and food and started cooking and started cleaning by noon time the day after the tornado hit the night before there were countless track hoes backhoes chainsaws Crews of men from local farmers and local Louisiana people that came over Arkansas people that came over that hit the ground running this was a 90 percent black community everybody pitched in to help everybody else there was no black white issue at all the regional director of FEMA stated that she has been through a lot of disasters but she'd never seen anything like this where 90 percent of the population was minority half of that was under the poverty line yet the majority of the people in there that brought equipment they were doing the work were white now that chokes me up when I think of that and I saw it I cooked eight pork butts took them over there to feed folks and everybody you had free food stands everywhere right now we've got a thousand people Volunteers in here from all over this country helping out doing whatever they can to help out I have not seen a black lives matter tent where they're doing anything maybe they are I just hadn't seen it what I've seen it doesn't matter about the race people around here in trouble these people whomever they are are coming to help and that's what we're seeing it um one good thing to come out of that horrendous disaster is what I saw of the of humanity Black and White Brothers and Sisters Let's jump in on this monkey and let's get the job done and that's what you're doing from the outsider's standpoint people would be like why would people want to live in an area where there's no jobs where the schools are shutting down or there's poverty but they seem to just be happy here they're happy here and I'll go back to the dirt man it's the dirt you know it has it's something about this place that a lot of people left and but once they have gone then they want to come back and when they retire they want to come back and simply because of the our so to speak of what the place is and what it's about it's a big river ride over there too that's a bad son of a gun right center I know a lot about the ruin I respect the river it's a highly religious uh area Bible Belt so to speak the beauty of the Greenville area and Cleveland and Greenwood along with that is that we are we're such a cultural mix of people because of the folks coming in building the railroads folks coming in building the Levee we have a tremendous Chinese population we've got an Italian population that's unbelievable that came in here originally as subservient labor so to speak to help sharecrop and all like this that didn't work and a lot of them didn't go back to Italy they stayed and we've got an Italian population that's unreal we've got Lebanese in here we've got the Jewish community in here and it's all a Melting Pot and the blacks that are here and the the different religions within all of that it's everybody gets along you've got other deals that go on uh where do you find the farm labor now to run these tractors we are a lot of areas of having to bring in folks from South Africa uh on work visa programs well why don't you just hire labor from right here we used to have that labor now we don't and you have to have a certain type of person is running these tractors because you've got a full 500 000 tractor that's run off of computers and to run off with GPS surveillance system and you've got to have the capacity to know how to integrate all of those different systems to work this equipment and right now a lot of the labor force on some or some of the labor force on these Farms or from South Africa uh they are educated enough to be able to know how to run those systems and to learn once they get here right away to get on those tractors and operate these you know operate the equipment during all this farm and they'll stay until November right after harvest and then they go back South Africa what do you think the future of the Delta is going to be in 50 years what do you think 50 years yeah I remember what it was 50 years ago I don't know how we can get more uh advanced technology wise but I know it's coming and I know there's going to be a time when that tractor out there does not have a man on it that it'll all be run by GPS so then what all the people gonna do that's what I don't know what jobs I mean what these a lot of these cities are crumbling we drove through them and I haven't seen half of them yet I can't imagine in 50 years what they're going to look like when they're barely holding on now that's true and a lot of these little Delta towns like my little town of Glen Allen it used to have a clinic there you used to have a picture show there used to have two grocery stores there they don't have anything there those were the little communities where the farm people would come get this stuff and go out we're going to have we got a big medical deal coming in in ruville that's continuing to grow there I think we're still going to have the eco-tourism that's coming Clarksdale areas and such as that we've got a big boost in eco-tourism and Grandma right now Viking ship lines biking Cruise Lines just coming up here now on the Mississippi River bringing in a lot of people to tour around the Delta and do all that uh what's going to be like 50 years I don't know it scares me now I do know that on your normal a normal good-sized farm that could take care of a family 500 Acre Farm back 50 60 years ago was a good side little place you had some Thousand Acres 2 000 acre places sometimes you had bigger than that today if you're not farming at least 4 000 Acres you're not farming you're getting by because that is the break-even point with the amount of equipment even though the equipment you don't have to have 15 tractors you only have four tractors at least one of them tractors cost half a million cotton pick a cost a million you use it three weeks out of the year so technology is going to take over [Music] nothing going to happen to the dirt the dirt's still going to be here and the dirt's going to provide are you looking to move and need advice I do Consulting that's right I'll sit down and talk about where the next perfect place for you and your family
