It's coming and it's coming soon. My only hope is that it doesn't spread to the area we're in. Mt. Pocono/Tobyhanna I can aviod the same as I do E. Burg. The rest of the area, not so much.
Thank you so much NY and NJ, you've really made the area what it is. :rolleyes:
I agree with you and that is why I recently got my conceal carry. Dozens of foreclosures up here and if they are not foreclosing they are renting because they cannot sell. Fortunately, in my area a renter has to cough up $1,200/year for Community fees. That may make my area a little less desirable.
We went to pick up pizza tonight and had to stay away from one of the pizza places because there are too many questionable folks inside - route 196 shopping center near A Pocono Country Place and Pocono Farms East.

May want to update your location :)
- its not getting any better. Especially in the PCP area.
also keep in mind that 1200 a yeah in fees (if they actually pay, most don't) is only 100 a month in rent... when a 1 bedroom in NY is 2500+ / month its much easier to move here. Also as more and more "good" family's get foreclosed on and leave the more trash will start moving in. Just look at Stroudsburg / East Burg if you need to see it happening.

I don't go out often but crime has gotten bad. Went to the a local bar, myplace or mullers diner as it is known. My friend got jumped inside by the bouncer and the gang of hoodlems. Once they threw him outside they had a group of 8 with the bouncer continue to fight and beat down two other friends. I had to carry them to the car where we could finally leave. How do you fight gangs when they outnumber you and fight in groups?

We're not in the middle of "nowhere" ...
and ...
currently criminals are permitted to drive ...
not that taking revoking their driver licenses would be anymore effective than no gun permits for them.
