Some Statistics.

Yesterday, my good friend Ruben told me about this website where you can look up your neighborhood's statistics. Here are some fun facts-

Deaths due to drug addiction- 890 (11% of the city's total)

Robbery: 435 in 06

Murder: 21 - not too shabby.

Felonious assault: 355

Believe it or not it doesn't rank that badly in comparison to the overall city. It's the neighborhood of rainbows and unicorns.

This morning my apartment was particularly steamy because it's hot and about to rain. And since no one collects trash on the weekends, 48 hours worth of refuse is literally cooking in my hallway. We still don't have an elevator so I couldn't get down the stairs because these women on my floor were lifting there 1000 year old grandfather down six flights of stairs. Ruben told me you could call 311 to complain about stuff like this. I need to get them on speed dial. Maybe I can just send them my blog.
