Damon, since you mentioned my post again ..
I did write a reply to your earlier question about Ainaloa, but the post didn't take, and after Punaweb didn't load a few more times I let it go.
This is not an argument I need to win. It is my personal opinion based on that out of all the stories I've been told by locals, Ainaloa comes up the most when bad stuff is mentioned. Second would be Hawaiian Beaches ... but that was awhile ago. The Ainaloa stories are more current.
I think it's just a question of where people can easily live on a low budget, and do drugs, and collect welfare. They may well not target their own neighbors, may take the theft to a neighboring SD ... but a lot of the murder stories and domestic abuse stories will have ties to Ainaloa. I know it's gentrifying now, like everywhere else, and some here call it home, but it has a bad rep to quite a few people. *shrugs*
Every subdivision has people who've lived there forever without having any problems. That doesn't mean there aren't problems.
