<div id="RTEContent">Next to perhaps Brown's addition and downtown, or maybe some hoods off of Freya, Southhill is the cheapest place to live in Spokane. The houses are old, run down, crime is fairly high, and many of shopping areas are dirty. At least that is what it was like when I use to hang out in Spokane when I was in my teens and early twenties. A friend of mine had a house on the Hill. <br> <br> But I am in agreement with Hansen. I do not think the poor people in Spokane deserve low prices and affordable goods because they are meth moms and crack heads. :P<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Phil Nisbet <pcnisbet1@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Hansen<br><br>Do you know the South Hill?<br><br>This depends on where on the South Hill you are talking about.
