stick it in me
brand new townhome complex nearby, mostly empty/vacant





then turn to the right to see the neighborhood im planning to move into



this happened last year at another townhouse complex built by the same company

https://abc7news.com/oakland-condo-ceo-offers-refunds-after-construction-fire/4560536/

i dont want to spend more than $2000 to not have any roommates, and this was the best place i found on short notice. it's a 2-story house that has been split into 3 units (the top unit, then the bottom is split into two)

id never heard of illegal inlaw units before, but after reading a bit it seems like the lease isn't even enforceable. tenants still establish residency (thanks california), but dont get protected tenant status, since they're never legal tenants to begin with. anyone (tenants, neighbors, random people) can report the unit at any time and get the house condemned by the department of building inspection until the illegal units are removed.

the home has been fixed up but everything around it looks like a crackhouse

there was a car accident nearby and i hung around to see how long it would take for a tow truck to show up, and for the garbage to be cleared. idk how long it had been since it happened, but i didnt see anyone other than the cops there. i waited like 15 minutes before i gave up and left



bonus: a surveillance robot designed to harass homeless people that i saw later in SF

I'm not even sure where to start with this, but have you never seen a car accident before? It's not like tow trucks are just waiting at the end of every block to come clean up every collision. Don't ever loving move to the DC area if you think 15 minutes is too long to wait to clear a wrecked car, because you will be sorely disappointed. Really, this whole post just reads as whiny as gently caress

I believe the OP is demonstrating that he must live in a crack den, which is technically illegal, because he lives in loving california. The place that is in the process of pricing the middle class out of existence, and imports as many illegal slave laborers to serve the wealthy tech elite. OP is a bad person, and deserves to live in a slum, probably. If he's mugged or killed, well that's just the price of doing business.

Nah man look theres grafitti right there. Grafitti! And that tree in front is kinda hosed up looking. It's obviously a den where people smoke and distribute crack.

While we are on the subject of housing, and this thread is very lame, I'd like to put my current situation out there.

I bought my house with renters on either side. We are in a rural crossroads village of about 150 people. The people to my left are great, even painted the house to spiff it up, cause he does that for a living. His gf is a recovering heroin addict, does some questionable work watching her daughter(like leaving with the promise of older sister being home soon, and that me, and the other neighbor are home so it's cool), but overall, cool long term neighbors..

My neighbor to the right, a 26 year old single father of 4(!?), struggles to make ends meet, but only pays $600 for the house he rents. The house is a piece of poo poo. It's bad. It's yellow lead paint, had a metal roof put on because the owners kid overdosed and died, set the upper floor ablaze. The rest of the roof is sagging badly, the upstairs is still burned out. It's off limits because the renter found spoons and other fun poo poo up there. Just the other day I was outside drinking beer and talking with him, and birds were flying in and out of the roof lol. The walls are clearly crumbling and leaning. It's real bad.

The problem is, my buddy just informed me that he's moving on up to a better place, my worst fear. The likelihood a junkie or several will move in is extremely high. The landlord is himself a junkie. Claims it with pride. No one that isn't a junkie themselves, or just extremely overwhelmed kid that just needs a roof will ever look at this place and see it a place to stay.

I need this place condemned. I don't have any issues with how it looks, I don't care if people go a couple weeks without mowing, I just don't want to have to drop a bunch of money on security, replacing my doors(they need updating, not very secure). I just can't bank on the junkie landlord finding another sweet friendly neighbor. Plus if there's kids in it, and it's not safe and something horrible happens, that would weigh on me.

Is there a renters association I can call to report it and you know, be that guy? We've already discussed arson but yeah that's illegal and our houses are kinda close..

Any suggestions are appreciated. Just thought I'd bring a real issue to this bad thread.

Rural Ohio btw. Lol
