Does Dale Hodges give a crap about this part of his ward?

I'd say it's more that the local residents enjoy the "rural" feel of their mini-acreages.
Believe me, if the people cared, they could get their road done up better. But a surprising number of people who live like that prefer it, and actively fight against the city bringing things up to modern standards. I've seen it with sidewalk-less streets, gravel roads, drainage ditches (as opposed to proper storm sewers), you name it.
This isn't some neglected inner city hellhole. Those houses cost a fuckton of money, and the people pay a LOT of property taxes.
