Can't wait to move away from #.
  • Shootings in the "good" parts of town are becoming more frequent. My partner was stuck in a store lockdown yesterday because of a nearby shooting, and saw the body bag on her way back home.
  • Our building is broken into a couple of times per month, with the expected property crimes following. My motorcycle was nearly stolen a while back and I had to have expensive repairs done on it because of the damage.
  • Random people are screaming and throwing things when we're outside. We've even been assaulted a couple of times while being accosted.
  • Everything is so expensive here!
  • The weather over the past 6 months has been mostly terrible. I'm tired of downpours and want a better rain shadow.

Oh that are several reasons to move...From your facts your part of the city is a social house build?

As i know some problem (no shootings) for those social settlements.

Btw. the term "shooting" rings a bell using my Nikon....Not using a gun. So much for Europa...

What do you mean by "social house build"? I'm not familiar with that term.

"Sozialer Brennpunkt" i have it to translate..
social housing / public housing scheme for those which are socially deprived
Usually a lot of those people have no job... Tend to be agressive to strangers sometimes... That setting i had in mind.

Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, Seattle is working on that some, but some of these projects have rules that some unhoused don't wish to follow, so they aren't allowed to stay.
