We've had a couple of "problems" over the years,but we got creative in moving the problems on. The neighborhood is mixxed in value of houses. Anywhere from about 110K to 350K. The only things that we, as a neighborhood, have targeted, was a house that became a drug house. Don't need CCR's to do surveillance, and to petition the city to enforce the laws for the city. The druggie's are gone, and things are back to normal. Then again, I wonder how many community's in America know most their neighbors, both sides of the street, and the next block outside of that too?

Darn few, me included. I know the folks on either side of me now, the one directly across from me, and that's it. It was about the same in Florida. I certainly didn't know "Mr. Orlando Magic" in my old Florida neighborhood.

It would definitely have taken some creative thought to deal with him, since as far as I could see he had done nothing wrong by turning his house into a garish shrine to the local basketball team.

His place made a handy landmark, if nothing else. "When you get to the Magic House go three more blocks and turn left. You can't miss it!"
