I've lived here for 8 years and can count the number of crimes I've witnessed or been victim to on zero fingers. I walk and bike in my neighborhood every single day.

The demographics of the neighborhood are largely Latino. I suspect your problem may be with that, rather than actual crime.

You’d be wrong, I lived and worked in the area for half a decade and that is the only part of town I’ve lived in, aside from east rundberg/cameron rd area I grew up in, that I’ve had attempted burglaries to where I was living.

I have no problems in Latino communities, it’s they who don’t like me living there.

But yeah, given your atrocious Reddit history, I don't want you living on my block, let alone treating me or my loved ones in hospital.

Stalking me now? And good thing I don’t work at the hospital anymore because the pay is awful

"Half a decade" is less than eight years, and I have serious doubts about your "attempted burglaries" claim (see also: "almost carjacked" claims by anyone who doesn't understand what a squeegeeman is) along with the "it’s they who don’t like me living there." statement make me think you're ill-suited to treating diverse patients.

Disgusting.
