This specifically refers to poor or homeless, considered disreputable, downtrodden or forgotten by society. A skid row may be anything from an impoverished urban district to a red-light district to a gathering area for people experiencing homelessness or drug addiction. In general, skid row areas are inhabited or frequented by impoverished individuals and also people who are addicted to drugs. Urban areas considered skid rows are marked by high vagrancy, dilapidated buildings, and drug dens, as well as other features of urban blight. Used figuratively, the phrase may indicate the state of a poor person&rsquo;s life.                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skid_row\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skid_row<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A skid row, also called skid road, is an impoverished &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[2472,3777,770,7243,7961,714,641,3,617,640,2255,8384,6108,3152],"class_list":["post-26541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-billionaire","tag-drug-addiction","tag-fact","tag-ghetto","tag-homeless","tag-millionaire","tag-poor","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes","tag-rich","tag-self-realization","tag-skid-row","tag-slum","tag-true"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
