I have called the police , contacted my HOA, and still the criminals are allowed to live in the neighborhood. They will not kick out the crime as long as they pay there rent. The  HOA and home owners can afford to have there homes empty and not making money. If there is crime in your area , it is the people that live there. They watch what goes on and know your routine . It's the greed of the HOA and home owners that rent there homes out , that are turning are neighborhoods into crime areas . The police can not do shit , they know who and where the problems are , they can't make the home owners or HOA do the right thing.
