Van Duzer St, Stapleton

This street is a menace to decent living. While cost is low, it is low for a reason. The street is one of the most often speeded on, and many neighbors had accidents that actually crashed into their houses. One took out our steps. It is almost constantly dirty, and very unsafe through both a bad crowd walking through all of the time and low police presence. Several gang shootings occurred mere blocks away. While some of the houses are beginning to look nice, the neighborhood makes it wasted effort. It is the sort of neighborhood a young woman carries Mace in when she walks alone and tries not to let anyone see her jingle the door to get in.

Neighbors rarely know each other, even after living there for ten years. While there is food within walking distance, the only decent place is a Spanish joint, and you cannot eat that every day. Also, the bars there are terrifying.
