Drugs
I have just read today in the newspaper that there was a drug raid on a house in the same neighborhood (2 blocks away) from a duplex I own. 66 marijuana plants and more than a kilogram of cocaine and crack.
When I bought this place I checked with police reports regarding the neighborhood and it was not a high crime area, but "on the other side of the railroad tracks" 1/2 mile away is a high crime area.
Up until this point I have bought in middle and upper middle class neighborhoods, so this is bit shocking to me.
I want to be able to tell future tenants that it is a safe neighborhood, but now knowing this, I dunno.
I am kinda of freaking out a little bit. I need some advice.
