Absolutely terrific story. While we hope the police can clean up the streets, sometimes their hands are tied by legal reasons, lack of persons willing to come forward, lack of evidence. Its amazing to see residents step up as community leaders and take action. We can take back the streets, and this collaboration of people sick and tired of the gangs, drugs, and criminals standing up for the community they want is proof of that. Good job to you folks, and good luck in the future. I hope this sets an example for other complexes in the city.
