Do you want to get used to "living in a ghetto" in Lake Worth?

Mr. Tom McGow, a chronicler of previous commissions in the City of Lake Worth, wrote this the very day after a City Commission meeting on September 1, 2009:
While listening to last night’s City Commission meeting from home I was appalled to hear Vice Mayor Golden state, “We all have to get used to change. Manny has to get used to living in a ghetto until things pick up around here.”, or words to that effect. She was referring to a resident who spoke earlier in the meeting citing the deterioration of his neighborhood.
