much quieter here, last place had 5 neighbouring houses doing renos, one is a major demolition, the other uses jack hammers

and no aggressive junkies here, no porch pirates so far, had a package sit on my porch all day, was still there

and last thing I saw in my street in Carlton, first time I saw a homeless lady pushing a shopping trolley with her belongings, I went up to her and gave her a 20, she spoke in a middle class accent

I do understand living in the suburbs ( which I haven’t done in 35 years ) means that even if I don’t see social problems that doesn’t mean the problem has gone away 😔
