Perrywood Gardens needs to be torn down. The only thing that comes from there is drugs and violence.

Obama will take care of it and by the end of his term all will be well in Perrywod Gardens. Blieve Dat

They need to redo it and nite let crazy folks or just anyone in there.

Obama Isn't going to help. He's (my taxes) the one supporting the people who live there.

It's NOT where you live but HOW you live! Enuff said!

Live just fine cause I get up n go to work everyday so that the welfare is paid everymonth to the lazy fucks

READING SOME OF THESE POST JUST SICKENS ME NEVER SEEN SUCH INSENSITIVE AND DOWN RIGHT IGNORANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE I PRAY THAT NO ONE IN YOUR FAMILY'S EVER FALL ON HARD TIMES I DON'T GET WELFARE BUT IF I DID I WORKED FOR YEARS AND IT IS OWED TO ME I'M GOING TO PRAY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THERE IS NOTHING GOOD OUT HERE IN PERRYMAN

You aren't OWED anything. If you worked for years you should have savings from living within your means. If more folks lived within their means, maybeplaces like this would be filled with honest working people who usually don't allow criminals to thrive where their kids play. Pray all you want, God helps those who help themselves, not those who help themselves to other people's money.

People are idiots... sad... not commenting on the rest...

Regardless of what you think about the place...a fellow citizen was flown to shock trauma possibly fighting for his life. Do good morals mean anything to anyone anymore? Its funny how people assume that because the incident happened in a low income area that it must have been about drugs. And then..to turn it around and make it all about welfare! Wake up people..stop being so insensitive.

I hope the person is okay. And for the very disrespectful people on this post - there are ppl who work full time jobs & go to school that live out there. I happen to be one of them. Trust me, I don't plan to live there all my life so please don't be so judgemental. Some of us had to start somewhere. Yes there are ppl who abuse the system but not everyone who receives assistance from the government are like that. God bless u all.

Erica...you are so correct. I started out there as a young mother 35 yrs ago. I went to college, got my nursing credentials, bought homes and cars and even adopted my last child since then. There are GOOD people in BAD neighborhoods and BAD people in GOOD neighborhoods. Before one person points one finger one must remember there are more fingers pointing back at thyself. Let the 1st person who has not sinned cast the 1st stone. I pray for all the victims of crime AND ignorance!

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND LIKE I SAID IF I EVER DID NEED WELFARE IT IS OWED TO ME BECAUSE I PAID MY TAXES TO GET IT JUST LIKE YOU CRIME IS EVERYWHERE AND IT'S NOT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE OUT HERE IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT COME OUT HERE AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THAT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY GOD GOING TO HANDLE THIS AND YOU GOD BLESS YOU

SOMETIMES WE ALL CAN USE A HAND UP NOT A HAND OUT ! IF I CAN HELP SOMEONE I WILL AND SO SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEY DON'T I PRAY THAT THE VICTIM RECOVERS FULLY

For the last seven school years I have picked up high school students at Perry wood Garden Apartments. I have come to know these kids from 9th grade to graduating, yes graduating. They have been respectful, kind and enjoyable. Kids inherit these traits, from their parents or caretakers. “Neighborhoods” do not make people break the law. All Neighborhoods have lawbreakers, so, don’t judge these neighborhoods based on their social needs. Good and bad can come from any neighborhood.

First, I wish people would learn correct English and Grammar in order to spill their hate on these pages.
Second, just how many times can you repeat the same post???
Lastly, I worked my entire adult life supporting my family (and sometimes extended family) only to find my self blindsided by a medical emergency. This emergency cost me my income and wiped out my savings. I had no choice but to use the money I EARNED through Social Security, get benefits from Social Services, and move my family to public housing. I don't do drugs. I don't sell drugs. I raise my children and work on getting myself well so that I can one day come off all of these programs.
So, think again before you paint everyone in an area or situation with the same brush. And in my neighborhood we keep this activity (drugs, loitering, fighting) at bay through resident vigilance and communication, a good rapport with management and the police, enforcement of "No Trespassing" rules as well as a one strike you're out policy. It's not foolproof...but it does work. Not saying that Perrywood doesn't try, but you have to get a system firing on all cylinders before you see real change.
But don't slam an entire community for a couple of bad seeds. Some of us are just legitimately trying to make it.
And for the love of all things holy, learn English.

Now for my real reason for commenting...a persons life is in jeopardy. They were rushed to a trauma center with an injury so severe that it couldn't be determined if it was a gunshot or not...I am an EMT...that's bad!!!!! So why are there any political posts? Why must the trolls come out from under their bridges and spew their hate. We should be praying for this person's recovery. If what I read here and elsewhere is any indication of where we are and where we are going, I weep for my children's future

Yes Todd, I for one failed to mention the fact that someone was in bad shape prayers going up for the person and their family. We need not judge someone for where they live. Like one person said we all started out somewhere. Todd thank you and bless you for your service as an EMT.

Reading some of these posts is sickening. Some of u think u r so much better than people who live in Perrywood. I have lived out there in the past. So for all of those people. Look around ur own neighborhood the exact same thing is goin on. Money or race makes no difference, drugs & crime is everywhere. U may not know who or where but trust me its there. Or dont u get out muuch?

WELL I DO LIVE OUT HERE AND I HAVE NOW FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS , IT'S NOT THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE BUT IT SURE AS HECK IS BETTER THEN LIVING I A CARD BOARD BOX OR ON THE STREET'S. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE A UNITED STAND TO LET THE PEOPLE COMING OUT HERE STARTING TROUBLE KNOW WE NOT HAVING IT BUT IT TAKES ALL OF US NOT JUST ONE PERSON

AMEN Evelyn.
