First lets talk about traffic, either direction is nothing but traffic jams. Second the locals, there are plenty non- english speaking people in this area. I used to have problems with minors sneaking into my common area stairwell and smoking crack and weed and leaving their mess there, police refused to do anything about it, literally told me to just let them be their not hurting anybody, since then Ive bought a 40caliber pistol so everytime some one starts doing something illegal in my stair well I come out and chase them away. They finally have one security guard, ONE guy that just walks around and makes sure that nothing is broken, they call him security, I call him night time grounds keeper. Its pretty bad when "the security guy" isnt packing a weapon and I am. I have had my car broken into twice, once was so the homeys could steal my a $20 computer game still in the bag from best buy, and the other time was to steal a pack of marlboros and 3 dollars in change. I have had three times when I went out to my car and have had a dent in the side(some one pulling in or out hit my car), a smashed rear tail light(some one backed into it) and a huge line in the door from someone opening there door really fast and blasting my door. The speed bumps are abnormally large and lowered cars have to park by the road, its about 1/4 mile walk to the end of the parking lot. I've lived here for over 2 years I've seen people come and go, me being one of very few white people in the area i get the "mean eye" by some of the ------ in the area, not once though has one had the guts to step seeing how I actively open carry. Other than the very culturally diversed crowd and the groups of loud annoying kids playing all night and day and the car alarms all night I would say this place is not so bad, they have the apartments sprayed once a month for bugs, there is a large staff or repair and upkeep workers, the office workers are usually in a bad mood and thats probably becuase of what kind of people they have to deal with here. This is definatly the last place any civilized person would want to live.
