Homeowner reflects after home allegedly set on fire Tuesday

On Tuesday, in 11 separate instances, 16 fires blazed across the city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee's Fire Chief, Aaron Lipski, said the fires are now being investigated as arson.
Lipski said the fires seemed intentionally set in garbage cans and piles in alleys that spread to homes. One person impacted is north side resident Peter Jones.
"This house is more than money to me. It's legacy," Jones said outside his north Milwaukee home Wednesday.
The home on North 9th Street has been in Jones' family for decades.
He was on the brink of finding renters after months of renovations.
"[It's] devastating because like I've said, I've put so much work, so much time and energy into it," Jones explained.

a bad city to live

[@user-zw9ki6lk5t]

It’s not a bad city to live, Milwaukee has always been a good city to live in- it’s that the times have changed and people have no respect and value for themselves and others plus we get a lot of folks that come up here from Chicago and that’s also got a lot to do with the downgrade of Milwaukee- just terrible to burn innocent houses down
