[quote=Anonymous]Here's another example: Our neighborhood used to have a lively street life, with people sitting on porches, talking, visiting, occasionally having a beer. Not getting drunk. Socializing. Maybe smoking cigarettes. Watching the Redskins on TV that someone put on the porch. I loved this about the neighborhood when I moved here in 2003. As the neighborhood became more gentrified, one new neighbor in particular didn't like the noise, so he started calling the police every time people would come out on their porch. Literally every time. The cops wouldn't cite anyone, but would keep telling everyone to keep it down and move inside. Eventually, people moved everything inside. Now our street is dead quiet all the time. Is this a bad thing? Not for some people. But it's okay for others of us to feel sad or sentimental about a different era on the street.[/quote]
