Where to start. The local McDonald's has turned into a hoon hang-out. Not a night goes by when I don't hear idiots doing burnouts around the streets. The local kids are turning to dirt motorbikes, and can be found at the parks tearing up the turf doing burnouts.

We've had several hundreds of dollars damage to our letterbox, lighting and plants thanks to faceless vandals over the years. The lazy police could not care less, and just ask you to try to catch the vandals on camera, so that you do their job for them. But I guess that's politician-policeman though for you, of which Mooroolbark has the misfortune to have two. They seem to think if they just tell everyone everything is fine, then they'll believe them. In the meantime, Mooroolbark continues to go down the gurgler.

There isn't near enough car parking at the train station, and the train platforms don't feel safe to be at night. As someone else posted there are a lot of takeaway places in Mooroolbark, most of which are of very poor quality pizza and chip shops. The graffiti problem in Mooroolbark has gotten worse over the last couple of years. The class of people moving into Mooroolbark seems to be getting lower and lower. Several of my new neighbours have been breeding like rats, and now their offspring are becoming menaces to society by throwing rocks at random people walking down the street, breaking windows, stomping on plants, bashing and/or graffiti street signs, having loud, drunken parties into the very early hours of the morning.

On the plus side,....ummm....hmmmm....we seem to get decent mobile reception, and internet speed, but that's about it.

This used to be decent place to live, but I'm afraid those days are long gone. I can't wait to leave.
