Crime in my Hood!

[th3w01f]

I was thinking the same thing (almost bought a house on Chestnut Hill LN 4 years ago), my first guess is an angry, confused teenager with a knife (or other sharp object) and family members trying to calm them down before the cops show up. Much easier to calm a situation down before the guns come out... this is not cop bashing, just relating real world experiences.

That's a good thought. And maybe that's why DCSD isn't saying much because it involves the juvenile.

You should have bought--you'd be my neighbor!

Its not that strange for the area considering the changing demographics of the neighborhood. I live in that immediate area and have seen a younger single male population replacing older empty nesters. Lots of late night parties.

I'll add, I walk through that hood daily on the way to Willow Creek trail. (which I ignore the no weapons sign)

Not this way at all on my street.

We've had three houses sell in the last ~5 years all bought by families. One just had a baby and another is a multi-generation household which I kind of like because someone is always home. Everyone works and the only nuisance is an occasional dog (nervous ankle biter types [we have big dogs that are a great neighbors]).
