10. People come with baggage..everywhere
My community was "the fastest growing town in the US" a while back.. Housing was cheap and plentiful as it boomed, BUT what happened was that a lot of parents in the scuzzier areas of LA decided to sell their houses there for big profits (most probably were torn down for the land)..and bought out here .. Their thinking was that it would be good for their kids. The problem? Their kids were already IN gangs and we just had gang activity imported to our town.. It was not long before we started having big-city problems we never had before..and it all happened in a 1-2 yr period, so our law enforcement was not up to it..

Every society has its share of unsavories, and when a large group moves, they go too..hurricane or no hurricane./.
