Hosford-Abernethy Neighborhood Development Association (HAND)

I have to vent. We have lived in the Harold Oliver neighborhood since 1991 and have seen it rapidly declining within the last five years. This neighborhood has become the east county ghetto and is being over run with mexicans, russians and white trash. We have drug addicts going through our garbage, leaving shopping carts everywhere, drug deals going down on the corner by our house and in the Harold Oliver School parking lot, tweakers and crazy people walking up and down the street, drug houses, gangs and graffiti, police sirens up and down 162nd constantly all night, and the city continues to build more and more row houses on small strips of land to an already over-crowded neighborhood. We can't wait until we can afford to move out of here. We have family that live in the Rockwood area close to 181st/Stark and they can't wait to move either.
