Euclid Survivor

and unfortunately we have a large vacant housing problem as well...

Crime has increased around here, we have had a lot more assaults and break ins. Like I said gunshots are nothing new around here. We also have alot of good kids in the neighborhood, but you see more and more getting in trouble constantly with the law. Not just black kids either ^^, white kids are out there fighting and such as well. I agree that certain parts of the city are still nice, but the ones that keep deteriorating need attention. East 200th/222nd (closer to St. Clair/freeway you go the worse it gets) needs attention, along with Euclid Avenue. The crime stats for Euclid may not look high, but figure that alot of the crime is focused in certain areas, where near the Lake is nice , but still figures in and lowers the crime numbers due to population. Don't even get me started with the problems in the school..

thats my point, the money and safety migrated north, and as punch said my neighborhood has become pretty rough. Hell back not too long ago they arrested an 11 year old for robbing my neighbor's kid for his bike at gunpoint. At first it was the older kids, but even the young ones are out there all night figthing and being loud as hell. I moved out of collinwood to get out of this stuff but its the same here. I also agree that there are some very passionate about the city, but many of the older more active citizens are reaching their time, as in collinwood. I fear that once they pass the community will fall even farther. :drunk:

I live in Euclid (on MIller off of 200th) right by the border of Cleveland. The city has changed monumentally in the last 10 years, give the Scene magazine article on Euclid a read if you don't believe it ( http://www.clevescene.com/Issues/2006-11-08/news/feature.html. I don't believe its a race issue, but no one cares anymore. The crime and property neglect are going up and up while the schools can barely scrape a 7 out of 25 on the report cards. The only difference I see anymore when walking through Cleveland and Euclid is that Euclid hasn't physically decayed yet. Other than that we still have alot of :shoot: and I see cops speeding around all hours of the day. The kids are out selling drugs and fighting on half the corners. It seems like anything north of Lake shore boulevard is safe, but if you go south welcome to the jungle :whip: Anyone else have opinions on the new Euclid?
