What is not being said is that Hoover is one of the top three nieborhoods in this area. The gang mentality is now here because of outside infiltration of people not native to this area.Crime has come into Hoover because of the liberal forces invading the area. Murder and purse snatching is prevalent to this area, which use to have none. Drugs are availiable even more now than before. Overcrowding of apartment complexes are the norm nowadays. Some thing has to be done now or the invasion of illegal armies will overtake this beautiful town and it will become just another Detroit.
I totally agree with your post. My aunt and Uncle still live in Riverchase, but just a few years before the influx hit, they sold their condo which was right off Lorna Rd.
If they hadn't of sold it when they did, they would of lost MUCH of the value and been unable to sell it. They are retired and that would of certainly left them in a bind.
Many, many people are still stuck in that bind.
After we first married, my husband and I lived in Hoover. It was very safe and we loved it. I read just the other day that there was a very violent murder in that same complex that was at one time filled with families.
It's a shame.
