For the time i've lived here my house has been tagged twice and my car has been robbed 3 times. Vandalism is a big issue here and it just keeps getting worse

On my block, there is no trouble. However, on the next block, going North, there is a great amount of gang related violence. Also, at the Burger King Seven Blocks away from my house, someone was shot by a police officer

We have neighbors watching at times, but they're very at alert. if Something suspicious occurs, right away they check first, if serious, neighbors will contact the police right away.

There is hardly an activity to review. I rarely see neighbors even outside there homes. So the sense of community is about below average.
