We moved out of the Clear Lake neighborhood we'd lived in for 24 years due in part to the sudden influx of criminals types i.e. certain evacuees. Crime in our sub-division had spiked.

When a large percentage of gang banger/thug looking types start appearing regularly, on foot and in cars in your neighborhood, it's time to move.

I feel sorry for those who for whatever reason can't move and have to continue live in declining neighborhoods.

We started having all sorts of various incidents. Among the various incidents, I called the cops when a very suspicious guy in a car kept hanging around the cul-de-sac two houses down from me. This wasn't a first. However, when the cops checked out this suspect HE was a cop on stakeout. What does that say about your neighborhood?

Ugh. We put our house up for sale and thankfully sold it right away.

We now live way the heck and gone out in the country and absolutely love it. We're now in a demographic such that we receive no telemarketing phone calls, driveway littering so-called free newspapers or in person sales types trying to sell aluminum siding or whatever.

Hallelujah!

Are we the only ones here that fit in this category of moving or have any of you done the same?
