[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the combination of

increased census at Psychiatric Institute of Washington. Mentally ill + indigent patients attract family members who, sometimesNOTalways, are also low-functioning

an increase in the fentanyl-methy mush brained paranoid guys that NPS allows to live in the little triangle pocket parks, screaming and writing furiously about End Times. NPS also looks the other way when these guys set up tents in the bushes adjacent to Deal/JR

sorta Friendship Place (but not really, because their constituency tends to arrive purposefully for meals then leave / they don't loiter)

THREE count 'em THREE "vape" shops on Wisconsin that definitely, for sure only sell paraphernalia. The young males lurking in the overgrown weedy trees 1 block away on Belt Rd. are most definitely not getting high. Nor are they waiting for a connect.

Hundreds of newish neighbors brought to the Wisconsin and Connecticut corridors with Sec. 8 vouchers. They are visited by their friends sometimes.

And before the inevitable race card gets played, two of the cohorts I've described are predominantly white. Another one is super diverse _looking_, and one is majority black.

Lol... "what I am saying isn't racist because I say so" is such a great excuse!  [/quote]

Try harder.  I'm unapologetically classist. I wish these groups of people would go somewhere else and that my neighborhood would revert to the way it was about 6 years ago. I DGAF how much melanin these guys have, or don't have -- I dislike their behaviors.[/quote]

Also noticed that the booeymonger all the way up by the old mazza is now a convenience and liquor store…with armed guards. It’s just gonna keep sprawling. [/quote]
Really? That makes me sad. Spend so many post high school afternoons there. [/quote]

It's just the old porch area that has turned into a convenience/liquor store.  The Booeymonger is still there.  Source: I went there last night for a "The Manhattan".[/quote]

Same thing. A store with booze and vapes and whatever else is still a store with booze and vapes and whatever else, and will attract the same kind of people, especially because the people who actually live nearby have rodman’s and a number of other places to go for alcohol. Its not like the people from Harrison street are going there.[/quote]

It's not the same thing.  Prior poster said the Booeymonger was closed and became a liquor store.  That just isn't true.  It's still there.  And now there is also a liquor store.[/quote]
