Its becoming more obvious that soon they will only be building apartment complexes for renters. With single family homes and the McMansions falling by the wayside. For the record, we to here in Kane county and in the city of Aurora are seeing a rise in crime.defshepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029515057003737645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-2449231550949298992011-12-29T10:45:51.399-05:002011-12-29T10:45:51.399-05:00@Gail - that's awful.

I wonder if fewer police really just mean fewer crime reports.<br /><br />BTW - The comment button on that post has been fixed.Bill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-90815105326155605562011-12-29T09:10:58.136-05:002011-12-29T09:10:58.136-05:00This is a comment for the crime post, which doesn&...This is a comment for the crime post, which doesn't seem to have a comment option.<br /><br />Anyway, youngest (22) daughter, who is working on her PhD at UC Santa Cruz (my alma mater, by coincidence) is home for the holidays and she mentioned that there is a lot of crime - break-ins, robberies and violence - in Santa Cruz. This shocked me because when I was there, it was a sleepy little beach town with a bunch of hippies in the redwoods, and I never once heard of any crime of any sort.<br /><br />She told me that TWICE last week, someone tried to break into her house in the night. She has seven roommates, so that's crazy, to break into a house clearly full of people (each one has a car).<br /><br />I have to say, this was a real wake-up moment - the downward spiral is accelerating. Now I'm going to worry about her safety constantly, instead of intermittently. And I'm buying her several canisters of pepper spray of her own.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.com
