2 months ago i made a low offer on a place here in town but on miller street. well- it was an estate and they declined. i thought oh darn. well since then i became involved in crime watch. even tho the block LOOKED ok- alot of crime occurrs there. the residents there are hostile to crime watch people. im seeing that if you are just a john doe/jane doe who wants a basic home, one has to look out for the trash. i expect to get a call from the realitor- wanting my offer. at this point that house would not be worth GIVING TO ME. so know the block.

When you have found a house you are considering seriously, take a ride down the street on a friday or saturday night, windows down in the car listen to the neighborhood. Nothing like finding out two doors down is a house owned by super hard party people until after you are committed.

Oddly enough I wont "patrol" that street. It is landlocked by railroad tracts and industrial fencing. So that locks me in- and only one way out. [bike] In fact at times I think something extremely bad has to happen before some in this town will accept the crime watch model for keeping the crime down. More and more I get sarcastic and cat call like yells.... so I dont know. It might take the need for bars on the windows before the idea is welcomed- and yet by that point it IS too late. We will see.

All very good advice.
