I'd hate to own a home in the 4th ward. Between the apathetic deferred maintenance of churches to brick streets, the residents who lived there all their lives not caring, now suddenly care, but want someone else to do the leg work or foot the bill.

Is that you Jim?

Active neighbors that follow-up observed criminal activity with calls to the police are what has kept the park a reasonably safe area. The homeless, pan-handlers, drug-dealers, and other undesired elements will hangout there, the neighborhood just needs to decide what level of "tolerance" or "co-existence" they wish to have about them.

They'll claim that the towers arms do not reach Boulevard Oaks thus the reason for the increase in sale price.

Well I'll be darned that giant building with arms has not hurt property values. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/09/home-prices-near-ashby-high-rise-skyrocket/?cmpid=businesshcat

The suspect looks like the love child of Rick James and Elvis.

I have a childhood friend who voluntarily gave his lunch money to the school bully, and you know what, he never once was beaten up. Granted he is now an alcoholic who still lives with parents, but it's better to roll over and submit, right?

I guess they didn't get the memo that 19th street is a walkable paradise since they left in a Buick.

I totally agree. People always cite better schools when moving to the suburbs, but what now? Will they move even further out? At a certain point it makes more sense to stay in the city and swing for a private school or try to get into a charter school if you're faced with a 2hr commute each way.

Based on my parents electrical nightmare experience on theirs I would say the suspects picked the wrong getaway car.

Because the real crime that everyone is seeking to avoid is not armed robbery, it's the possibility that a reporter might be called a racist. Nevermind the fact that assuming that a group matching a suspect's ethnicity would automatically find fault with using identifying descriptors is racist in itself. Most of these reports have less to do with catching criminals and more to do with formatting pages with dummy text.

Alleyways can also pose a problem. It's easy to get in and out without a great deal of attention. HPD is a calls for service driven organization, so keep calling. I would also recommend having a townhall type event every time something makes the news. (Students robbed on 11th would be a good example)

Looks like Miss Parker's feeding ordinance has its days numbered. http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/2013/03/federal-judge-rules-that-dallas-homeless-feeding-ordinance-violates-ministries-religious-freedoms.html/

Everyone that stands to benefit politically is patting themselves on the back about the opening of the Travis Street Plaza, the 192 room complex for homeless and disabled veterans. What's not to like, right? It all sounds good during the ribbon cutting ceremony, but the reality is that area will go down based on the scope-creep (intentional or otherwise) of Cloudbreak. The original Midtown complex was promised to only house homeless vets, but then they opened it up to any homeless person despite taking money from the city and promising it was only for homeless vets. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/08/midtown-housing-project-opens/?cmpid=businesshcat

Such as....is it walkable? If so, does the restaurant have a shoe tree adequate enough to handle the 6pm rush hour, or will patrons be forced to leave their shoes on neighborhood sidewalks resulting in a decrease in available walking space and a backup of patrons onto the aging and inadequate sidewalk infrastructure?
