While we were never overtly irresponsible with money (i.e. gambling debt, drug habits, credit cards, expensive cars), we moved many times, did PhDs, and spent the better part of our 20's and 30's doing things that might have been personally enriching, but were at some level exploitative of our time and not financially beneficial.

We did have a drug dealing issue with the next door house, but over time with some pressure on the RE investor who owned the property, and working with the police, we turned that situation around.

Springfield tax rates are on the low end due to the crime and drug problems in the surrounding areas South and West of Springfield.  

The funds may only be used for certain items and they can't have any convictions for drug or alcohol related incidents.I don't want my hard earned money going up someones' nose.

The neighborhood directly to the east on Van Buren and Everest are full of generational families consisting of thieves and drug addicts.

Hi,I have a house in CA had been break-in twice in past 1.5 years, since the bushes in the front of the house was tall, CA let many prisoners/drug addicts out on the street due to over crowed jail, the city do not have enough polices.Just one month after my new tenants moved in, the house was break-in again, though the bushes are cut down, I pay some costs for the new tenant to set up camera, signs etc, now they said that I dis not disclosed past break-in to them, and they demand me to pay for ADT, Comcast service, which can be expensive and need long term contract.My questions are:1.

No... these were the drug dealing nightmare renters, and they were popping up all around us.We decided it was time to move.

There are many other areas of California where prices are still affordable but they have high unemployment, crime, drug use, etc. since AB 109 and Prop 47. 

What if your doctor also sold insurance, would only write a script at one drug store, or attempted to influence where you got groceries by telling you what to eat?

Alcohol, drugs, emotional issues, various things that each carry additional risk factors.And even more important, unreliable workers suck up resources (time) that could and should be spent elsewhere.
