I am sincerely sorry to hear about the crime problems that you and the other law abiding residents are experiencing there in North Fulton County.
My wife was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. Her parents owned a small tract house in a nice neighborhood in North Hollywood. Their neighborhood was almost exclusively white then just because there weren't that many Mexicans around in that area back in the 1960's and early 1970's. My wife could remember the neighborhood as being very safe both in the daytime and at night. The neighbors all knew each other and respected each other's properties and rights.
About a year ago we moved out of the San Fernando Valley, and out of Southern California. But while we still lived there, whenever we would drive through my wife's old neighborhood to see where she grew up, she couldn't help but to cry because the neighborhood was almost unrecognizable to her. Lowriders and junked cars lined the streets, there was grafitti on fences and walls, almost all the houses had bars on the windows, and everyone that we could see who were standing around outside of their houses were Hispanic, including groups of teenaged boys who would all stare at us as if they were wondering what a couple of white people were doing in their neighborhood.
