This is rediculous. We grew up in this neighborhood and it was a beautiful area. All the elderly have passed away or moved out and all the once beautiful tenements have been sold to greedy hounds who will rent to anyone. They don't have to live next to them, so they don't care who comes in. Section 8? They love 'em...it's a sure monthly payment. It's really too bad these degenerates have to culminate in one area and ruin it. They should all be sent to an island of their own and kill one another somewhere else. Leave us quiet citizens alone. I have children that I cannot even let go outside without adult supervision. One, our street is used as a cut thru and these idiots drive down our side street at about 40 mph. We have requested a speed bump to be placed in the road, but we're not related to any politicians, so there goes that idea. This city is by far the worst place in the world to live. We're getting the heck out of here this year and I can't wait. I'll never look back, that's for sure.
