"Too Much Traffic & Too Many Illegals"

When we first moved to this street, it was quiet and shady. However, 15 years later the town was overrun by more illegals than there were local people. It continued to get worse, and the Mexican district kept creeping closer and closer. Finally, when our neighbor sold his house, we ended up with a Mexican flophouse next door. The traffic, the noise, the violence all escalated.
