Tuesday

they send out notifications to neighbors of every thing that happens. i’m not sure exactly what network they use, but ppl also report crimes on nearby public transit.
every porch pirate and pick pocket is big news. to hear this guy talk you’d think we live in dystopia. but i’ve lived next door to the guy for almost 40 yrs and have been the victim of almost nothing.
he barely leaves his house anymore. he’s in a dark, dark place.

there’s a line that i dont want to cross.
