Polls are anonymous, so nobody need put themselves in danger of my opinions.

So many if not all of those things happen in every neighborhood every day. Some of it glaring and obvious, most of it hidden.

We'd have to just keep moving.

For me I can't fairly answer the poll.

Shell hit it on the head

Unless those things are happening in your household you really have no control over where they occur.

If it is happening in your immediate world you need to get away

If in the neighborhood around you

a new neighborhood won't be the fix.

You may be able to see the dealer on the street in one neighborhood

while in the new neighborhood it may be the folks in that fab house on the hill who throw the marvelous pool parties.

You can always move to get away from an undesirable location for whatever reason makes it undesirable for you but the reality is that in this day in age ALL neighborhoods are undesirable at some level--the question then becomes how much of what goes on isn't in our faces.

Moving to find perfection is futile because utopia doesn't exist

And for those who must try --more power to you--with the mores of society being what they are it is no longer a black white issue, a male female issue, a Christian other issue but a people issue --plain and simple no matter what the Wikipedia encyclopedia says.
