We come from so many different locations and sadly, as they say, it takes all kinds - hopefully only a few disorderly ones surface.
I can only imagine what those residents think who have lived here ten years or more. Would like to hear their input.
I have lived here full time for nearly ten years. I have never witnessed the kind of behavior mentioned in this thread. (I did see a guy dancing with a lamp post in Spanish Springs. The lamp post didn't seem to object and he was not bothering anyone.)

I have witnessed many acts of kindness and consideration.

By the way, your cell phone can be a deterrent. I was recently approached by a persistent pan handler. (Not in TV) He was young, big and aggressive. I pulled my cell phone from my pocket and he took off. Whether he was camera shy or thought I was dialing 911, it worked.
