A friend of mine built a beautiful new home in a gated community in Jacksonville Fl. People bought the home next door. They were from Puerto Rico. About 20 or 25 moved in with dogs and kids and cars and now the place looks like a typical Puerto Rican slum. The govt. helped them get the house. My buddy moved and left the house at a great loss. I know I don't want a community moving in next door. Especially a group that plays loud bad samba music at all hours. And this isn't as bad as it could be. I mean it could have been French Canadians.

This is the infuriating thing about this situation-- people having to sell at a loss. Not to mention the hassle, expense, etc. of being driven out of your neighborhood. My own neighborhood has been flooded with illegals in recent years, and I am now working two jobs to afford to move out. I don't care what race my neighbors are, but I want to live amongst people who share my work ethic, my values, and my standards of what a good neighbor is! A good neighbor is clean, considerate, quiet and law-abiding. Is that too much to ask for?

Especially a group that plays loud bad samba music at all hours.

Loud music was mentioned in the article. Where I live, they blast their mariachi music (and I mean BLAST-- sometimes they literally have live bands in their back yards!) at all hours of the night. I'm talking till 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, weekends, weeknights, doesn't matter. Not to mention the junky cars parked in the front lawns, abandoned shopping carts, graffiti, day laborers on the corners urinating openly and harassing women who walk by, cars stolen or broken into, traffic with crazy, unlicensed, uninsured drivers, overcrowded schools, etc., etc., etc. Soon coming to a neighborhood near you!
