This is a very good reply. What is part of the issue is, we haven't been here for long, but we have noticed the trouble areas in this neighborhood. We're the same way about our situation. We don't move because not only money wise, I'm closer to school so when I start driving- I'm 5 minutes away from MAC, and mother works nearby so that makes things feel safer for me. I love this neighborhood, don't get me wrong. Every housing area has its flaws, but this one just keeps spreading like the common cold.
These are our homes, and part of that responsibility is to take care of our neighborhood and our neighbors.
I agree with you. Very much.
