[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SS has been in decline since the 80s, except the 2000s real estate boom probably put a band aid on it. [/quote]

The only thing declining since the 90’s is the murder rate[/quote]

That may be true nationally, and it might even be true for Montgomery County, but residents of DTSS got together a few weeks ago to examine data and found violent crimes have genuinely surged in the area. Lack of police presence is a big part of it. Despite promises to increase the presence in DTSS, I've seen no evidence of it. I literally watched a woman in a big pickup truck drive THROUGH the farmer's market yesterday, moving two "gates" to avoid going around a single additional block, and cops were nowhere to be found.

She has a right to use the street. [/quote]

She does not have the right to drive on a street that was presumably closed to traffic with a valid permit.

But wow, did she actually get out of her car and move the barriers??[/quote]

Did anyone have a copy of the permit for her to see? I am guessing the police didn't cloe the street since they weren't around. Someone without authority just decided to close the street.[/quote]

pp you obviously don't know the situation so you should stop embarrassing yourself.    This road is always closed on the weekends so no the woman did not have the authority to drive it[/quote]
