What does it mean to feel unhappy with your Living Environment? 

This is a very good question because it affects billions of people worldwide.  Some areas are war-torn, and are areas particularly where I live at is very bad.  The Northwest Dayton, Ohio area has been messed up since the 1980s.  This is the reason why I have to decide to move out of state or relocate to a different neighborhood.

Next, I want to inform all of you that I have been living here for over 14 years now.  I know that the entire city is getting ready to change.  The Bus Fare will increase to $2.50 Cents by January of 2026.  It does not mean that Dayton, Ohio has changed for the better. 

 Economically, the city has a cost of living that has increased during the past 5 years.  I know that I have been living here and I am struggling financially right now.  I know that for me, living inside of Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments located at 2765 Wentworth Avenue Dayton, Ohio 45406. 

 I know that this is an apartment complex that is based on your income right now.  The housing situation here in the State of Ohio has changed tremendously.  It varies according to your income.  I also know that the neighborhoods in the City of Dayton are integrated and diverse right now.

Further, I want to inform all of you that there are over 200 people living inside of Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments in Dayton, Ohio.  This property is owned by the Greater Dayton Premier Management Company in Dayton, Ohio. 

This used to be called the Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority in the 1990s.  This company itself has a lot of property in their possession right now.  I know that this is a place that I am currently living at right now.  I have been living here for 13 years now. 

 This is a place where the drug problem still exists.  70% of the resident’s smoke marijuana, fentanyl, and crack cocaine inside of the building.  The same populous of people are drinking alcohol on a daily basis.  Frankly, these are some of the undesirables who live in Public Housing for an extended period of time.

Moreover, I want to say that everything here in the Dayton, Ohio area is changing for the worse.  The crime rate is very high for the third straight year.  I know that for me personally, I have to stay inside of the apartment all of the time because the young people are too aggressive. 

 I am trying to stay out of trouble right now.  The city itself has changed because everyone is moving out of the city of Dayton to the Southeast United States.  I know that Dayton’s Population has decreased since 1980.  This is a decent city to raise a family. 

 Some would say so!!  I really think that Columbus, Ohio is a very decent place to live in the Ohio Area.  I know that I have been trying to find a job here in Dayton, Ohio.  I am a victim of Age Discrimination because I have applied for jobs, and I end up getting turned down.  My mother told me before she died that I am going to catch hell in the city of Dayton with the family and other people. 

 I know that I would like to say that Dayton, Ohio has a lot of opportunities especially when it comes to jobs that are inside of the suburbs or outskirts of the city. 

 I really like it here, but Housing is a major problem in the Dayton, Ohio Area.  Dayton, Ohio will always be my hometown, but I cannot choose to stay here if the cost of living goes up.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that my name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio.  I have written three books in the past 23 years.  My books are as follows:  Essays, The Best of Anthony Hopkins, and My Grace is Sufficient for Me.  I graduated from The University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio.  I graduated in class of 1993 and 1995 respectively.
