You are so far off base that it is laughable.
I don't put the city down...in fact, I defend it every chance I get.
And i've said plenty of positive things here, but somehow you filter
all that out and just see bad.
And give me a break, we've had one murder and several shootings within
a week. All the good that has happened in the past 6 years is
marginalized every time another shooting happens. Do you not realize
that public opinion of AP has not improved one bit in those 6 years
concerning people who don't live here? I guarantee that if you go out
and ask complete strangers about AP, they will always talk about the
crime and what a mess it is here.
Here's a quick story for you. My girlfriend lives in Toms River with
her 2 high school age kids. Last weekend was her daughters 16th
birthday party. There was a group of about 15 kids there, and we were
talking about where I live...and when I mentioned that I live in
Asbury Park, they all laughed and asked why I want to live in "the ghetto"
No matter how hard I tried to defend AP and talk about the good stuff
here, all they could think about is what a mess my home city is. And
these are 16/17 yr old kids living in Toms River.
If you think i'm a jerk for not ignoring the underlying issues
here...great...then i'm a jerk.
Bottom line is this...all the redevelopment means nada until the
social and criminal problems that plague our city are resolved.
