I have to say, I can't wait to move. I like the size and layout of my townhouse, I don't mind being close to the city, my yard is pretty small but I don't really mind that either. It is the people. Some are black, many are white, but it is the culture that I cannot fucking stand. I guess you could call it "black" or "rap" or "hip-hop" culture. At all hours of the night my house get vibrated by some asshole's subwoofers. I have to listen to rice-burner exhaust all day, the kind that people throw on their four cylinder import to make it sound like a muscle car, but really it just sounds like a broken chain saw. The road is approximately 30 feet from my house, and people fly by at 55 mph in a 15 mph zone. My driveway is right on the road, basically just big enough to hold a two cars; in the morning I can hardly pull out of the driveway. I'll look both ways, and someone will come over the hill at 55 and have to slam on the brakes.
A couple months ago I was walking my dog around the block. A car pulled into this driveway about 15 feet infront of me, subwoofers blairing. Three people got out, two of them holding open cans of beer.
I honestly cannot imagine trying to raise a child in this environment. I don't understand what drives people to act/live like this. To me, it just makes me think about all of the times people cry "racism," when really it is caused by the way people conduct themselves. You can complain about your property value dropping when you move in, and call it racism, but the reality is that no one cares about your skin pigment. No one wants to live by you because you act like a fucking asshole, you fly through the neighborhood 30 mph over the speed limit, you park in your yard, you drive drunk, you blair loud music, etc. etc.
