Roanoke is an untenable situation. The rent is higher and pay is lower than shown here. The violent crime rate has risen dramatically in the past 5 years with gangs moving in and the police are understaffed and scared to enter some areas after nightfall.

I looked on this page of pricing for groceries and do not find any date associated with these facts. It would be so good if you included the date for which these numbers are being shown here.
