At least, it seems to be.
Had a mugging the other day, a lady walking down the street about two blocks from the condo. No other news about the incident, just heard from a neighbor who knows her.
Car break-ins in the parking getting worse. Used to be super rare, now it's about once a month. No one has broken into my car yet, but my GF's car has been hit multiple times, and all the neighbors. No broken windows, just getting in if car is unlocked. Won't be long before windows are broken, I predict.
Someone stole a ladder off a service van parked at the bar across the street, and tried to break into a condo across the hall (single woman, two dogs) by putting the ladder up to her second floor balcony. The balcony door was locked, Dogs freaked out, the lady was sitting on the couch in view of the balcony door. She called the police, and came over to our place. (She is a flaming Liberal, my guns are bad, until you feel threatened I guess). Suspect escaped. She is now sleeping with a camping hatchet, and we are on call in case it happens again.
Multiple gun violence incidents lately. Many more than previous years.
Drunk people comedy from the bar across the street is on the rise. Getting to be a weekly thing.
Police patrols are increased, visibly. They are now cruising the condo parking lot, and the surrounding streets more, IMO. I see them 2 or 3 times a night when I am smoking on the deck. Last year I might see them patrolling once a week, and never pulling into the parking lot and just sitting at the back.
Counting the days until I get out of here.
