What Goes On In My Neighborhood

You would never know that this community off of FM 1960 was seriously separated. There are the four separations in this community. Everyone is mildly copacetic, but everyone has their area.
The one subdivision has four parts. Old, New, Low-end, and Zombie-Land; these for parts have one mission that connects them all. The crime has gotten out of control because of Hurricane Harvey.
Each area has suffered from the crime, so no one feels safe walking to their car or inside their homes. Because of this home owners have looked to their Home Owners Association (HOA) and Municipal Utilities District (MUD) for help. This has brought light on certain situations.
The MUD board has refused to add more constables to protect our communities so has the HOA, which has caused our four sections to united and work together to make our community a safer place. With petitions and various volunteers it has allowed people to make friends in areas that they wouldn’t have before.  I asked on the community page and quite a few said that they made friends in different sections because of this fight against crime.
With every section contributing to the petition (http://chn.ge/2BWJW9m & http://chn.ge/2BWJW9m) our four part subdivision has really started becoming one. I have already experienced this on my block where everyone watches each other’s property, and someone is always outside when the kids are playing outside. So seeing this happen with a subdivision really gives me hope that maybe, just maybe humans can live together without harming one another.
