So long story short I bought a condo a few years ago pre bubble, have a decent amount of equity, but everything is sky high, which is not the end of the world. We had homeless camp out behind an auto shop and on the lawn going into Walmart. The auto store eventually fixed that, but people still pandhandle. Not the end of the world, but still not the best. Well I have noticed more people standing on the corner and people having pitbulls not on a leash. Again don't want to zoom in on a single thing, but I am just zooming in on quality of life things for me. There are also people pushing Walmart carts around and people cussing them out. Also I have seen an increased police presence around my area in the past 6 months as well. Further some housing that was ok seems like it is turning into row housing.

​

There has been a decent amount of development in the area (new condo complexes) and some other nice stuff, but as soon as those were finished or almost finished, things seemed to get worse. Maybe I am being paranoid (also where I am is a tucked in green space), but it makes me a bit nervous about the area. Also a friend said he used to live in the area and it seemed to go down hill. What is the limit as to when an area goes from decent to downhill? And how do you deal with that?
