Oooh okay...could be worse..I have neighbors who shot someone outside my window...
Man, everybody's neighborhood is 'bad ass.' I've got graffitti from (5) different gangs on my street and alley. Gunshots, drive-by's, tagging crews, all that lame sh:t. Every house on the block without a viscious dog has been burglarized. The Post Office told me not to get a mailbox because my mail will be stolen on a regular basis. Someone grazes through my recycle bin at night. (2) people got shot across the street from where I work. This summer a little girl was killed by a hit and run driver a block away (turned out to be some suburban, spoiled, ganster-wannabee, driving a primered out civic hatchback with a noisy exhaust, and equally obnoxious sound system).
By noting the petty thefts of rock and bark, I can better accept the general situation in the neighborhood. Which I can deal with, because I won't be here forever and it's funny.
(whooosh)
Someone getting shot outside your window will not happen everyday.
I can't move, yet. Not enough equity and everything else costs way more than what I paid for this. I'm in the Puget Sound area and houses are expensive as hell. So I did the best I could with the amount of money I had and it got me a new house in a marginal neighborhood. Other than the theiving neighbors to the south, it's mostly alright. Just lots of junk cars, couches at the curb, and pitbulls.
It's marginal.
Temporary.
I wonder if they'll take the rock with 'Jessy' tagged on it :wink: . Or maybe I should take it to Jessy, he lives (3) houses down
.
