As we saw in the 'Rotten Neighbors' blog http://sandiego.redfin.com/blog/2008/02/monday_madness_-_dont_get_mad_get_even.html it only takes one or two people to disrupt a neighborhood. That goes for schools and workplaces too. Drugs are now endemic from our big cities to the most rural hamlets. Homebuyers should personally evaluate the neighborhood and the schools. Statistics don't tell the whole story. Thanks for that reminder Linda.

In addition to a drug problem (Meth) there is a growing gang problem. I have raised / am raising 5 kids. Not all schools are equal. We have had to use private schools.. So Caveat Emptor remains true.
