Sorry, I don’t feel like being robbed and coming back to a burglarized car.
Glad to see the city investing money in neighborhoods where people only go to parks to party, drink, do drugs, and throw their trash on the ground. This is what they want your GRU $ for.
Been living there (NE) for the past 10 years, except for “throw trash on the ground” ever have any issue, and by the way, i don’t party, drink or do drugs, neither my family and we are all college graduated…i think you are talking about the parties on the house of those rich guys who did the elder abuse and scam the 75 years lady for 300 millions. you know them, you all went to the same school.
