I hate my Neighborhood! Where do you live? What makes it suck?

[maveric]

A SoCal apartment block, one parking space per unit, where most units have 2 or 3. Try finding a street parking space after 5:00 PM. Always noisy and dusty. Ethnic breakdown is about 60% white, 20% black, 15% hispanic, 5% the rest.
The 60% group is made up of navy/freeper/hillbillies with "W", and "Freedom isnt Free" stickers all over their minivans and SUV's.
And people have this habit of DROPPING TRASH ON THE GROUND"! An act I despise.

6. In city limits on the edge of a small town

There are a mixture of family types and is probably more diverse than average for the town I live in, which isn't really saying much.
A couple things suck about it. There are no sidewalks and I have to be careful not to run down children playing in the street. I also have to be careful not to get run down myself while walking the dog.
It also sucks because it is very close to a Walmart. It is not just annoying because of their business practices. It is annoying because of truck traffic and noises like the trucks and banging dumpsters.

7. No sidewalks on my street, loud neighbors in the back . . .

The kids and their father are ALWAYS yelling if they're outside. They moved in a couple years ago, put up an above-ground pool, and my once quiet neighborhood changed.

Also the old lady who lives on one side of me hates me. I've never done anything to her, but I know she hates me because the only times she has ever communicated with me is by angrily giving me orders("Don't put your trash cans there!" "The next time I see your dog in my yard I'll call animal control!" etc.) She's a self-righteous religious type, so I'd rather not bother with her. She must be in her 70s, so maybe I won't have to put up with her for much longer . . .

8. my neighbors across the street.

i sit higher on a hill and look down on their place. it is the "name" of the town, they live off a trust and never worked in their life. the father has been caught dealing drugs three, four times but nothing on the record. btw, these are expensive homes in a really nice neigborhood. the son went from a sweet 11 year old to a drug dealing scary 20 year old. so much trash they take out once a month and have to haul in back of track and trailer and make two to three hauls. they had three rotweillers, that were not nice and friendly, constantly getting out and roaming the streets in pack, until pound picked them up so much they werent returned. now they have two pits. one of them chased a painter of mine up a ladder.

they have been without water and electricity for a year at a time. and ran a generator for months for all the neigborhood to hear

they have a confederate flag flying proudly, and on their vehicles, and often are shooting off guns. middle of nite another party going on adn shot off gun, kids scattered. my brother an i chatting middle of day heard a shot, backed from widow and kept talking. til it dawned on us what we did. about that time my child yells dont worry about me i am crawling across the floor, a huge dining window.

even the cops dont mess with them, but once. the one time we went to a bb king concert and left father with our children. we were blocked from entering our street after concert cause the swat team was using our yard to bust down the doors. a 4 hour stand off. found 53 illegal guns and drugs and house was condemned, but then nothing happened

the kid was charged with rape at 14 and i watched young girls go into that place of horror for years.

anyone top my story
