Few issues make me as angry as this one. People work hard to afford a nice, quiet, clean, decent neighborhood. Then that good neighborhood is HANDED to people who didn’t work to earn it, many of whom are noisy, dirty, lawless, just generally bad neighbors. Now the original residents are forced to pick up stakes and move...which is expensive and stressful for them. Soon the formerly nice neighborhood is a dump. This is being done on purpose, in neighborhood after neighborhood in this country. How do we fight back against this?
Had the Census Bureau stop by my house and ask questions about one of my investment properties. They were frustrated by their inability to contact my tenant (hard working guy in the motion picture industry). They commented the resident is never there — I say “he actually works for a living”. They wanted me to sit through a 30 minute interview to discuss the configuration and nature of the property. End of discussion.
