rising crime

7/8/2008
I'm so very disappointed in the rising crime here in Valley Stream. I've lived here almost 30 years and for the last 10 years or so it has been rising. The influx of people to this area has been unfortunately ones of poor character. Gangs in the high and junior high schools. Police rounding up kids outside the schools because of crimes they are suspected of, etc. The breaking point came around 2 years ago when my neighbors 20 year old son was robbed at gunpoint right down the block from home. This never happened here before. I'm moving as soon as I retire to a state and town that has a much lower crime rate.
