Toldja
This neighborhood is rapidly getting less secure and more violent. Theft, shootings, broken windows.
I saw this coming when Copkiller Condon was first elected in 2011:
Probably no way to pin down the cause, but the area of newness appears to be 'propagating' from Wellesley, which was beautifully repaved and residewalked last year. This quarter of town has received lots of repaving and other attention during Verner's term as mayor. Before she took office the city mostly ignored the NW; now we have a number of fresh improvements, which may have spread the 'delta' of improvement to homeowners including me. (Something like the opposite of the Broken Window Effect.) Unfortunately Verner lost yesterday's election to a mindless Repooflican ZERO TAX hack named Condon. So here's another safe prediction: Under Repooflican ZERO TAX hack Condon the city will go back to its old ways, pouring millions into the areas where rich dickheads build their McMansions and letting working-class areas rot. This is a sad day for most of Spokane.= = = = = = = = = = = = =
