This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

I don't know that I'd notice even if it was going on around me.

I'm getting very confused about the neighborhood you live in...

On the one hand, it's so quiet you can hear the wind, and the loudest thing on your street is the sound of your kids playing. On the other hand, you have so many planes, helicopters and trains going around all day that you get used to the noise. On the one hand, the neighborhood is so nice, friendly, open and welcoming that everyone knows everything about each other, everyone is constantly in and out of each other's houses, and the neighborhood is lovely place to live and raise children in. On the other hand, there are apparently so many drug dealers there that you can identify with 100% accuracy when drug dealing is going on (at least seems like it must be a frequent occurrence because you are able to identify such activities with razor-sharp accuracy, which surely must be based on extensive experience?).

Sounds like a very interesting neighborhood :-).

I notice my neighborhood and neighbors, we have a friendly relationship with all of them, but do I keep track of them?

So your neighbors know more about people online than their own neighbors?



Has this neighborhood always had a problem with noise, welfare fraud, illegal apartments

Lol there are not so many drug dealers lol. It is quite obvious when there is one though when there is nothing going on like that.
Again this happened many years ago before I even had children.
