I've been reading bits and pieces of this thread. And, of course, I no longer live in Asbury, even though I do love the place so much!
One thing that has come to mind. I remember when I rented an apartment in Asbury, many moons ago, that before I could move in, an inspector had to come out and give an approval for a c/o. The place was approved fine, but it occurred to me that if this was still being enforced - and being enforced on the west side just as much as the east - that it would force out the slum lords, which would in turn force out many of the tenants who instigate the crimes. Does anyone on here know if this is still a requirement, or if it is at all being enforced? Generally speaking of course, if the landlord takes pride in the property and keeps it fixed up, it attracts a better class of resident. Just my two cents!

In general, there seems to be some crime problems in Asbury. 2. For some reason, people just can't grasp the concept of cameras. Meanwhile, Hinge pointed out that cameras on private citizens house caught the carjacking helping the police to a suspect. Maybe some lawyer will sue the camera guy for invading the suspects privacy because they didn't have a sign warning of cameras..... the city HAS to install cameras in many parts of town. 3. Asbury has an image problem. It doesn't take a consultant to tell you that. Yes, it's come a long long way via private monies invested into businesses and homes. And there are those who wills say - who gives a shit if someone's afraid, let them go to avon instead... 4. The police and courts have their hands full. 5. And of course, the billions in fed and state aid that AP gets in one form or another. Please, tell me where it goes. I read the budgets and audit reports. Good night. ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
