Do you think this is shitty or smart?

Renting out part of my house is another option I've considered (which I would loathe, but we do what we have to do).

*shudders*

I'm not in financial straits. I would thank God for that, but I didn't get a check in the mail from The Bank of Christ. hahaha The lady I work with isn't in financial straits, either, they just don't like their neighborhood now.

I try to be loving and accepting, but the big-headed kids across the street are about all I'm willing to deal with. I think I would do what I had to do if my neighborhood became unsafe. I started thinking about how miserable it must be to be worried about someone breaking into your house while you are at work or someone stealing your car out of your own driveway or stealing your air conditioning unit while you are on vacation. I couldn't be happy living in constant worry like that. Hell, I couldn't be happy if I had to hear the boom, boom, boom from some jerk's woofers driving around all night.

I'm such an uptight white cracker. haha

I would do what I had to do if my neighborhood became unsafe too. Hell, I live in the city and I consider it safe, but the truth is that I make it safe for myself. It's much easier to do that when it's only me and I live on a busy street with lots of people coming and going all the time. Not so private, but hard for a fucker to break in unnoticed and you can't get to the back of the house from the street.

If I had children or if my mom came to live with me and I had to worry about my family's safety within the house or in the neighborhood, I'd do whatever it took to get the hell out of dodge. No hesitation.
