ghetto's
Poor quarter's feature
Ghetto's is the possessive form of ghetto, a noun designating an urban neighborhood characterized by poverty and often populated predominantly by a particular ethnic or racial group.
Historically, ghettos were sections of European cities where Jews were required to live.
The term now applies more broadly to any impoverished, segregated area: the ghetto's reputation for crime kept investors away.
As slang, ghetto functions as an adjective meaning cheap, improvised, or unsophisticated: that ghetto's way of fixing things actually worked.
