That's hard. We've got a similar (though no murders) situation in our neighborhood. Someone has snapped up 4 houses at the end of our block and rents them to section 8 recipients, and one family the father is a registered sex offender (we've reported him since he's living with 5 kids) who has no driver's license, but drives all the time high and drunk, and we've got another family right across the street, the dad just beat the mom almost to death a week or so ago, and then another one right next to the others that deals meth. I have a friend that lives directly across the street, and she sees 4 houses of adults get together and have cars coming and leaving seconds later all through the day and night.
She's been keeping a log and calling the cops, but the cops said their hands are tied because the landlord is getting kickbacks from the tenants (drugs) and is basically a slumlord. They are investigating and trying, but like anything else how much man power can they devote to it?
It makes me livid because I know families that need housing and are in line for section 8, and yet here are criminals beating their wives, sexually abusing kids and doing/selling meth right here getting their rent paid by taxpayers- and they aren't even holding the homeowners accountable. I own my home and I'm not moving. I've contacted the police and they just say they are aware of the situation and are trying to get the landlord busted.
I'm going to keep fighting it underground and make it very known that drugs and crime aren't welcome in this neighborhood. We don't have gang activity though- that would straight out scare me. Gangsters are heartless and don't care about human life.
