Iga, yes people do call police when they hear the shots. I am one of those citizens. I have been in the neighborhood for 8+ years. It seems the gunfire has become more frequent. And yes, I saw the bloodshed on Ohio & Oakley as well as someone washing it off the sidewalk. It doesn't matter if I am a "yuppie" or an "old timer", I DO NOT WANT THIS DEADLY ACTIVITY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! This area is where I shop, where I walk, where I talk to my neighbors, this is where I live & want to continue doing so without the threat of some idiot trying to resolve their issues with a gun. We all want to feel safe & secure in our neighborhood & the randomness of a bullet doesn't secure those feelings.

Hey Iga, that is a pretty big area to hear gunshots in. I run every morning, walk to and from a bus stop, and do my grocery shopping on foot and can't even remember the last time I have seen blood on the sidewalk. The area is also very well patrolled by police and the people who live in the neighborhood keep an eye on the area making sure it continues to progress in a safe and friendly section of the city. Your comments seem a little vindictive and trying to portray the area of much more crime ridden than it truly is; what is your motive? It’s obviously not to be truthful.

Also, with the changes in the neighborhood in the past 5+ years, it seems the old timers are those who are trying to “scare away” people. As old, run-down houses are knocked down and empty lots are replaced with million dollar homes, and new condos, they are not happy because the value of their property has gone up and in-turn their taxes have gone up too. They would rather live in the ‘hood that the area once was before it got “yuppiefied.” .

Stuart, you might have gotten a wrong impression from my post. I have lived in this area for almost 4 years, so I wouldn't call myself an old timer trying to scare off yuppies. I live near school. The first shooting that took place in front of my house was last February. Over the summer there were some incidents around the block. The bloody sidewalk was in the area of Ohio and Oakley. Several weeks ago there was a shootout around midnight that the police was called and neighbours gathered but I was already in bed. Since then I was woken up a few more times - usually 2 - 3 am. I am not vindictive but simply concerned. I don't understand why anyone would deny a growing problem. I hope you and our neighbors stay safe in our daily endeavors and I hope the trouble makers are taken off the streets and I soon forget all this.
