JARDINE: Finally, a list or two Modesto is proud to be on - Kaepernick - Modbee.com
Why is it that Modesto folks have become apathetic? New chief Galen Carroll says "there is general apathy about neighborhoods, crime, the city in general." Well maybe, for instance, it is when a neighbor witnessess a brazen burglary of a home and then follows the vehicle to it's home or destination while on the phone with MPD and gives exact detail to the vehicle, perp, and location, and an officer never shows up! I read on Facebook everyday of citizens who are fed up with the crime and whom are wanting to get out of Dodge. It is often followed up with a response from a friend that says "Glad I am out of Molesto, good riddance"!
Carroll described it as people throwing up their hands as if to say, "Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it." Well, yup. Sure the city can pass out a few anti-theft devices and we can create neighborhood watches, but we are being overrun. We are fighting with the preverbial toothpick here.

Heard the City forced you out of town with their effort to gentrify the Graceada Park area. That you sold your house last week.
The reality of their efforts of course is that there will be MORE homeless on the streets and MORE vacant homes in the area. I was just noticing that the house across the street from you is vacant, the two story red building next to you is vacant, and the hose behind you is vacant (Fran's old house), also the two story house next to her (Elizabeth's old house)! WTF! Sorry to see you go.
