Jesus seedy and why do you live there?

I thought he lived in the 'burbs.

Apparently they aren't safe either.

I do, and rather affluent one; still is, even though it's slid a bit since I moved here 15 years ago.   I still have a ton of yuppies and Ravens in the neighborhood, but the downtown Dazzling Urbanite population has exploded here the last several years.

Plus, foreclosures of owned property -> auction purchases --> turned into rental properties by parasitical buyers and flippers--> rented out to Jamaicans, Nigerians and other miscellaneous Dazzling Urbanites who want to escape the city and go to better schools.  There's a reason the high school 3 miles from my house--AND WASNT EVEN THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE PLACE:mad:--has a 92% African-American enrollment.  But crime has spiked like a motherfucker in this zip code; hell, its got one of the highest insurance rates for a zip code outside Baltimore City, simply for the sheer number of stolen Beemers, Benzes and Ack-Coo-Ras.

Unfortunately, I'm a single-income family, so my maneuverability is a bit limited. 

Last year, I was looking at new homes out in the countryside in Carroll County, with nice colonials and Cape Cods complete with detached garages, vistas of rolling fields of corn, lack of bullshit traffic.  I was ready to pull the trigger, sell this bitch with the 15 years' worth of equity I've built into it, and get myself a nice homestead with my six figure salary.

Alas, the company got bought out, and I was Mittensed to increase shareholder value.  Go fig.

So I'll save you heartless fucks the trouble:

Our local gendarmes have a push on people right now to get temper-proof screws for license plates, since thefts are so common.

That's the ironical thing;  I've got wheel locks,

Tip: invest in some modern guns.

Hey at least you can be mobile. Nothing to keep you from going wherever your dream job is.

Your first mistake was moving anywhere in the Baltimore area.

Ravens? What's that?

Ahhhhyup.

[HVC]

It's ok, you've learned and still have a chance to fix it

[CountDeMoney]

Ravens? What's that?

Fuck off.  Go find a broom and push stuff down a bowling lane, or what the fuck you people do up there.

I honestly have no clue what the term refers to (well, other than the bird, but that doesn't fit in context  ).

Seedy, I bet that personalized tag DZZLNG should be easy to find.

Big beefy black men, just like Seedy likes em.
