One man's warzone is another person's stable or even up and coming (usually urban) neighborhood. The term is subjective. Here in NJ, if you spent all your life in upscale Short Hills and came down to University Heights section of Newark, you might think you're in a warzone. But for me or someone else who really knew the area (including Investors from all over the country who know better), they may not see it as such at all. So it depends on what you consider a 'warzone' @Jerry M. .
