It's not lol. In the truly bad neighborhoods it is. My friend lives in an apartment in one of these places, their blocks are long as hell.

My block isn't a mile long. These blocks here are about 8-10 blocks for a mile.

Maybe, there is literally no way my block is a mile long lol.

Your garden looks much nicer than your neighbors and it's not all grass so no dealing with cutting it all the time

You talk about 3 miles, I have murders three blocks away. IF you wanna troll fine, but the truth is I never did what you said. My place isn't a ghetto....yet.

You hardcore, bro. Legit. Now go tend to your bird feeders.

Yup, my dad did that over a decade ago lol. Here is what happened, my dad put up a pool. He also loves building decks lol. He put a lot of time into building a deck for their pool. But....we took down the pool. They planted stuff, etc. Now they live elsewhere, but I'm still here. So I tend to it. We are the only people on the block with a deck like this,

I told my dad before he could have maybe had a business building decks and stuff, but meh. The neighborhood isn't a ghetto, nor is it a suburb. But they wanted to try to make it nice. I feel like I need to maintain it.

I guess I just don't get it. Well I guess I do, you're trolling lol. I never said I lived in a ghetto. I did say this place is getting worse, it is. If you wanna make fun of me okay. I feel gardening is calming.

Years ago it used to be stuff would occur miles away. Now it is blocks away.

I feel coughy

I'm not making fun of your for gardening, that's a healthy and normal activity. I'm mocking you in exposing your previous 'feel sorry for me, I have to dodge bullets cos gangstas!' appeal-to-emotion, which you blew out of the water.

I never said I need to dodge bullets, I have said crime is increasing around here, and I have spoken overall about how bad Chicago is.

There is a danger here though. I will not walk outside at night. But it is still not as bad as the Chiraq places.

Don't worry, I will light a candle when the gangstas come for you and your bird feeders.

so basically at least a mile away from a city block beyond 1 homocide this year.

I've had murders a few blocks away, and I have always maintained this was a neighborhood that used to be nice, but gradually is getting worse.

You have not proven otherwise lol.

Your statistical crimes facts are no match for Surtur's feelings, brah

Lol, okay. At this point you're just trolling. Nice.

Trollolololooooool

i proved you're actually in an okay neighborhood and the high crime areas are easily avoidable, unless you put 100% trust in gps shortcuts. but don't let that stop you from reporting from miles behind the front lines of gun violence, from your lovely garden.

You didn't prove anything. I never said I lived in the ghetto lol.

You literally created a narrative in your head and then acted like you disproved it. I wonder if people with low enough IQ's will agree? Rob has. Anyone else here with an IQ in the double digits?

I can’t believe this had all stemmed from surt posting a garden pic
