They seem glad to have us there (including the police in the area) as the house prior to our moving in was a drug house where they evicted the tenants (we found many used needles in the back yard, "cooking spoons" found in odd places, and for the first few months of the rental we had knocks on the front door at odd hours from people of less than reputable status).The problem is my wife and I have decided to divorce and she'd like to stay in the rental.

Her two late teen sons were living there and I am told were involved in drugs.

Drug addicts in the areas.I wish my town was a great place for peope to move to.
