    A “shotgun house” is a narrow home that doesn’t have hallways. The term comes from people saying you could shoot a bullet from the front door to the back door without hitting anything else. It’s not necessarily a “slave” home. It’s a style of house.

      Also, the reason they're built like that is because of an odd quirk of colonial-French property-tax. Basically, instead of being charged tax relative to the square area of a house, it instead charged in relation to the amount of house that faced the street.

I believe it should be like college tuition, if you’re coming from out of state, rent or the sales price should be higher & if you’re local it should be “normal” or discounted to a degree.

If you move into another area, you need to learn about the culture and adopt it in some way to become part (or be a partner) to the area. You’ll get more support from the community as well.

      yes it is true...because i have seen people with one parent households get further in life because of the love in the house vs the indifference and lack of love that also comes in two parent households or the violence two parent households can have.. so statistically it can be true also.. your stats are always derived by your sampling..so hence if you ask a group of soda "A" drinkers if they like soda "A" then you have legitimate stats with the yes's but you still do not have a real overview of said products love by consumers.. the same as sampling politician "Z" supporters and asking if you like politician "Z".. true stats and facts but not really.. as there are always angles when it comes to stats and opinions and beliefs and numbers and polls... so what is the truth to your comment?? it simple isnt there and simply not there... did you grow up in each situation??? nope... so how is it not true... that is just from your POV and beliefs in what you have been exposed to or what little you have dealt with in your life... others can have very different experiences that are very true vs your information or stats.. stats are just a gimmick to persuade the uneducated into a belief of what the people marketing or supporting those stats want...just propaganda to push an agenda or belief system upon others while making it seem legitimate.. and it may or may not be a truthful system..take the religions of the world and the stances each of them offer up for their legitimacy and what they deem as failures or falsehoods of the other religions and how they are or are not right... shrugs..there are no absolutes in this world when it comes to opinions as the demographics for info are always created by those administering the questions or creating the context.. stats prove me right on everything i state... so now what do we do.. i can back up everything with stats and now you also can.. who is right??? neither is the true answer..science proves this one easily or does it??? the chaos element and theory.. have a good one!! much love and respect...

      No I think it would specifically be affected by what the parent/parents are like, not how many there are. If the parent doesn't bother to teach their child empathy and kindness and build on some learned intelligence then that child will be negatively impacted. Its similar to parents who are violent, aggressive and rude either to a child or Infront of them to others, that child will be impacted by that and often becomes aggressive themselves.

      @@wendyHew Being raised by a single parent is fundamentally detrimental to a child's upbringing. Especially boys lacking a mature, responsible father growing up. Boys need a father figure for guidance. Doesn't really matter how great your mom did raising you, you need the male influence. Learning how to be a man is not something your mom can teach you so if you lack a dad growing up, you either become a soft momma's boy or you go off as a loose cannon and learn lessons the hard way. That's hood culture in a nutshell. None of these guys had fathers growing up and the guys they do look up to as influences and father figures on the streets didn't have fathers themselves so it's a broken cycle that just continues to repeat itself.
      Obviously, having no father growing up is probably better than having a bad, abusive father growing up and same with mothers but that doesn't change the fact that the optimal upbringing for a child to do well in life is to have both a mother and a father and benefit from learning the values that both these people provide. Having generations and generations of no father figures and single motherhood is a big component as to why hood culture is the way it is and nothing ever changes for the better.

      and dif parts of the world as well . While the term most likely emanated from the south , it had nothing to do with "clearing" a house with a shotgun.
      Shotgun houses have a front door in where the hallway runs straight thru to a back door which lets the air flow through from the front to the back or vice versa-- they were built on skinny lots that were longer than they were wide (usually 12 to 16 feet wide) ----- usually near mills or factories to rent to workers in the cities
