Blah

My introduction to the neighbourhood... One of my first nights living here my neighbours set fire to the road outside my house. They thought it was hilarious, I wondered what I'd gotten myself in to.
Things haven't improved much since then, other than those particular neighbours moving out. Rude children yelling out foul things at complete strangers, random drunk people showing up on my doorstep or having fights outside my house, hoons driving around like maniacs at all hours, tomcats fighting all night (guess I can't really expect responsible pet owners in this sort of area), people using my yard as a rubbish bin, breaking things (including my fence), the stench from the nearby power plants, the list goes on.
It's not all like that, of course. I just live in a bad area (although there do seem to be some nice people around, they just don't stand out as much as the others). The shopping centre isn't bad, especially for way out here, and the rentals are affordable. There seem to be a lot of schools, I don't have kids so I don't know if they're any good or not. I'm sure there are other redeeming features that I'm just not aware of. Personally I just can't wait to move out of here.
