How concerned are you about these incidents and how it relates to your safety?
Take our poll and let us know.
Perhaps, the fort like walls of Avalon, the nearby Bodega with the 24X7 miscreant presence on the corner...any of these stir a curiousity in you, before you signed the lease? Did you imagine what your visitors see as they approach Fort Avalon? I'm sure "oh....my....Gawd" is one thought they might have. SUrprised that thought.... eluded you when you first laid eyes upon the place. The fact that anyone signed up to live there is incredible to me, especially a 30 year resident of the town.

So get up get, get get down OMC is a joke in yo town Get up, get, get, get down OMC is a joke in yo town hahahahaha. so true it hurts.
We do need a Town hall meeting. We need to air this s**t out. What kills me is the patronizing comments like "Mayor's working on it, but can't disclose details". give me a break. Only thing they're working on is how to throw more "blood" money at OMC. This situation is so comical. It's like their reading Mayor "Diamond Joe" Quimby's playbook: Throw money at political problems. God, who doesn't love the Simpsons!
OMC is a public project and any attempt for "change" requires public disclosure.
To what end do we expect this "poll" to provide? A bunch of people are concerned about OMC. OK, they've been concerned for decades... What changes? Do we expect a social networking phenom like Patch to move RVC like "Kony". Holding my breath.
@ sinatra... the issues at OMC have nothing to do with race. It has to do with MONEY AND CRIME. It's not enough for some in OMC to receive subsides. Legitimate work only reduces those subsides... That is why crime pays. Money through illicit activity is never reported and supplements state and federal aid. this formula is not restricted by anyone race.... And are you suggesting that a person's race predisposes them to criminal activity because of societal pressures? I find your words more insulting than mine could ever be. I'm (blank) so I can't help it if I'm criminal.... I'm (blank) and i can't help it if I'm cheap... i'm (blank) and I can't help it if I'm a mobster.... I'm (blank) and I can't help it if I'm helpless... You're (blank) and you need to see a shrink.
