Can't really call the police on that, as the kids DO need a place to play (although, why the parents don't take them to the parks?) All but 1 of the units are 1 bedroom, but I don't want to open up that debate again about how many people are allowed in 1 bedroom apartments. There's still a few of us old-timers who've been there for a long while, who "remember when." As for why not get decent tenants, some people have told me it's easier for landlords to collect rent on Section 8 tenants, don't know if that's true? I like the location of the building and the surrounding area and had planned to stay until retirement a few years from now. However,
when a police officer tells you "please tell me you do NOT live there," that's not too good!! Well, I guess it can always be worse and I'm trying to keep my sense of humor about it. Last year when we had that 4 point whatever earthquake, I was asked if it upset my guinea pigs; I said no, they probably thought it was just a police officer taking down a door, just the 'norm.' (thanks to people in town and surrounding areas who've sympathized w/ my problem and listened to my complaints!)</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>There are a couple of tenants in the apartment building who get regular visits <SPAN id=misspell-0><SPAN>from</SPAN></SPAN> the police on weekends<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR>. Thank goodness for the Riverdale Park Police.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>That Apartment building has no air <SPAN id=misspell-2><SPAN id=misspell-1><SPAN>conditioning</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> and the residents, some of whom are <SPAN id=misspell-3><SPAN>already</SPAN></SPAN> pretty <SPAN id=misspell-4><SPAN id=misspell-2><SPAN>dysfunctional</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>, really get crazy when the <SPAN id=misspell-5><SPAN id=misspell-3><SPAN id=misspell-1>tempature</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> goes up.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>They take their <SPAN id=misspell-6><SPAN id=misspell-4><SPAN>craziness</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> and drama out in to the streets. The shame is why cant the land lord get <SPAN id=misspell-7><SPAN id=misspell-5><SPAN>better</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN id=misspell-8><SPAN id=misspell-6><SPAN>tenants</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> ?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>It seem like that building would make great <SPAN id=misspell-9><SPAN id=misspell-7><SPAN>graduate</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> housing.</SPAN></DIV>

from a car <BR>in the 4700 Block, on 7/10, a car was stolen in the 5000 block, and yesterday <BR>evening a car in the 4700 Block was vandalized. I haven't received notification <BR>of crimes on other streets in the immediate area, so as of now the "activities" <BR>appear to be centered on <SPAN id=misspell-13><SPAN id=misspell-11><SPAN id=misspell-5>Ravenswood</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> Road. And of course there's my apartment <BR>building on <SPAN id=misspell-14><SPAN id=misspell-12><SPAN id=misspell-6>Ravenswood</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>; many mornings I'll leave for work and the outside <BR>building lights are turned off, and there's beer bottles and trash in the <BR>yard. And yes, more of my plants in my little patch have been destroyed, so you <BR>probably won't see me puttering around at the flowers. My apartment doesn't <BR>look out on the front of the building, so I can't see what's going on, on the <BR>property or on the
street. Anyhow, if you live on <SPAN id=misspell-15><SPAN id=misspell-13><SPAN id=misspell-7>Ravenswood</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>, travel through <BR>the area, or see crime or suspicious behavior in any other part of town, PLEASE <BR>let the police know about it. We should be able to park out cars, plant our <BR>flowers, and live our lives in town without having to worry about vandalism, <BR>theft, or worse. <BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>TownTalk mailing list<BR>To post to the list, send mail to <A href="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org" target=_blank rel=nofollow ymailto="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk@riverdale-park.org</A><BR><A href="mailto:TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org" target=_blank rel=nofollow ymailto="mailto:TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org</A> is for automated subscription processing
