the bad:
the house is VERY messy. we are doing some renovation right now but it'll probably be going on for a few more months. we's got 2 DJ's living over here and i turn my shit up loud as fuck at night so expect loud music till 3 am some days. good thing is the library is less than 5 min walk if you want to study, but you can forget about studyin in the house in the PM hours. during the day it's way quiet because everyone is in school or working. sometimes we be riding pocketbikes or revving up the lil ric0r back in the back about 2 in the morning so it gets loud as well. neighbours be fighting at least once a week very audible at night and sometimes we have to go get into it too, the other neighbours be selling crack and shooting pistols and also they get a monthly SWAT team visit. Also you get asked for change a minimum of two times on the way back from classes.

The joys of urban blight
Posted: 11.17.2005
Ian Booth


Two friends and I live off Method Road, west of campus. I coined the phrase, "Meth is in the name -- and so is OD." The pizza places nearby won't deliver to our door for fear of losing their car or perhaps their life. Until his meth lab blew up and nearly burned his house down, our neighbor operated a crack house, prostitute included, with impunity.


My housemates and I have seen people flee in terror from petty thieves or unhappy dealers. We have, on occasion, sheltered them from their assailants with some risk to ourselves.


Just for my part, I have been chased from a grocery store once, offered sex for money twice, drugs three times and stolen goods, five. All that within the span of my first month living here.


We have spotlighted by the police several times and have had to call them twice. When the police come, they may blow off reports of violence, dismissing the victims as "pieces of crap" and declaring, without the aid of a jury, "they probably got what they deserved." We've answered the door with machetes and chain saws to scare away crackheads who deemed five o'clock in the morning to be a good time to stop in and ask for a cigarette.


And yet, as far as American cities go, Raleigh is pretty clean and safe. The "bad parts of town" around here are downright classy in comparison to some. It could even be easy to forget that in the span of two blocks an N.C. State student can go from being surrounded by bricks to being surrounded by rocks -- and, if you haven't caught on, I'm not talking about the granite kind.


Why all this talk about drugs, prostitution and violence right next door? Because I love it so much that I have to share.


That probably came out wrong. I don't love that society is decaying. I love that I get to see at least part of that decay firsthand more so than many Americans who are more sheltered -- the type of person who, unfortunately, is quite likely to end up having a disproportionate influence over things they have never experienced.


I love that I get to see what happens on my street because it gives me an experience that would, in a sane world, be mandatory for anyone who would influence public policy by so much as voting. It is easy, on an Internet message board or in a philosophical talk with friends, to put forward ideas about the nature of the world. It is easy to say that people should be free to use drugs because it is their choice to do so, because they can, with willpower, overcome their dependencies. It becomes rather less so when you see the same wretches stop by begging change in an effort to scrape together enough, not for food, but for a hit. It is hard to look at a guy like that, when he's pleading with you for dimes -- or worse, when he is so forlorn that he does not even have the strength to bother pleading -- and say that he should just buckle down and stop taking his poison of choice.


It is easy to talk from the normal college perspective about the noble effectiveness of government welfare, or, conversely, about how jobs are available to all of those who would really work at it. Even these opposite positions seem equally untenable when you're overhearing a man's calculations about how to spend his last five dollars: "Tonight I can either eat or I can drink." He doesn't have the option to buy a book or go to night classes with his five dollars. All he can do is either quiet his belly with food or quiet his mind with alcohol. After some thought, he went with the alcohol. All things considered, I don't blame him.


A lot of people in the world know a lot more about this sort of thing than I do, but because of what I've seen not a mile from school, I know more about it than a lot of the people that go there. If you want to protect yourself from all the unpleasantness in the world, that's fine. Life experience is little good without life, and one who seeks too much of the former will run out of the latter soon enough. But, for the good of all, don't make uninformed decisions about ways of life you would be afraid to know better.
