Even Chicago Police is afraid to be placed in that neighborhood.

That Canadian has the right idea, LOL.Zoning is accomplished based on restrictive uses under police powers (Ooops, basic RE stuff) categories or zoning areas are set from a highest use or restriction to the lowest restriction.

My contractor told the kids (against my wishes) that they would call the police if they didn't stay off the property and so the kids went back to the dad and told him and then he came over and started yelling at my guys and said they have every right to play where they want.

So far everyone from the county and police have been happy that I have purchased the property and want to turn it into a nice place again.

Should I say call the police and have them removed for trespassing?

One roommate out of three tenants on a joint + several lease has descended into hardcore drug use, bringing domestic disturbances and unwanted guests as well as drug use on the property according to the other roommates.

They spend more time criticizing the police than supporting them and trying to make the city safe.As far as the charts, keep in mind there could be people leaving Chicago for the suburbs.

A side-by-side duplex will be more pleasant to share with tenants and easier to rent than one over the other, pay close attention to the other surrounding properties, talk to the neighbors and local police etc, maybe visit on a Friday/Saturday night to see if there's any monkey business etc....... here's to your success! 

BP police won't allow details outside the marketplace.Stephanie@Isabel Camero

I may be in the minority, but I don't think DFW is all that great of a market to invest.Dallas specifically has a huge shortage of police and there has been a huge spike in crime.
