I remember a time when this place felt like more of a community, but now it feels like it's full of strangers. The thing is with these people moving here is that they seem to attract similar types to the area. Once it's messed up and the value of the property in the area decreases, it's more likely that more of these kind of people will be coming to live here.

It would be the ideal solution if these people could be sorted out and made to conform and to realise that they do have an impact on other people and must change their attitude - but can you honestly ever see that happening?
I once made the mistake of thinking I could reason with someone as one sensible adult to another. Very quickly I realised that I wasn't talking to a sensible adult but to a self-centred moron.
Sadly I have to agree also that once you get one or two in the area more and more seem to move in, they bring down the value of the property they occupy and as no-one other than their own sort wants to live near then it also brings down the value of surrounding property. Suddenly it feels like you are living in alien territory and there's nothing you can do about it.
Don't us ordinary normal people have any kinds of rights not to be subjected to this sort of thing? Of course we do, but just try to get it enforced and you'll see how totally unworkable it is.
So what's the solution? Well, it's very non-PC but I'd love to just pile them all up in a concentration camp type place and keep them away from the rest of society.
