I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and Somali’s have absolutely ruined a nice, upscale neighborhood. They’re being encouraged to rent single family homes (using HUD vouchers) that many American-born citizens can’t afford - and we’re paying for it!
I know, because two sleezy investers bought three houses on my block and converted them to rentals. Now we have three system-soaking Somali families on the block with a total of 18 kids between them. They refuse to use their attached garages in favor of leaving their rusty beat-up cars in their driveways. They don’t mow their lawns, they discard furniture in the yard, their children don’t have toys, so they play with cans, plaster bottles, sticks and whatever else they can find, which are always left in the street. Both adults and children loud, rude and inconsiderate. The adults loiter around in the street all summer long. They hang laundry from deck railings, in the trees and over bushes. All three families are using mismatched sheets as window coverings - basically it looks like a ghetto! The smell coming from the house next door to mine is unbearable - it’s a combination of body odor and the perfume they douse themselves in. It’s disguting and you can smell it a half block away!!!
Also, I’ve lived here for 20 years and I can’t recall the police ever being called, yet, since the Somali invasion, each house has had multiple visits from the police.
I don’t understand it, they don’t work, yet they’re rewarded by living in what was once a very nice neighborhood... and HUD won’t even address complaints from longtime homeowners. We’ve spoken with the landlords and we’ve tried enlisting the help of the city - no one gives a damn because these animals don’t live on their street. We’re all so disgusted and terribly worried about our property values. The idiot at HUD actually said, “If you’re not happy in your neighborhood, I suggest you move.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!
We, as homeowners, have no rights, while these undereducated Somalis are allowed to destroy our neighborhood!!! We have a nearby park that the Somalis have been allowed to take over - there were more than 200 police calls to that park in one summer!!!
It makes me sick and no one will listen!
This is truly disgusting and I wish you luck. Nobody wants them. These Somali welfare queens parade around Toronto too. In full African drapery costumes. As refugees they get maximum welfare and benefits. Much more than an illegal alien dared to dream of. They are useless and are imported here only due to pressure from the Black Caucus in Congress and our refugee industry who make money off each body brought in here
