What is wrong with my neighborhood?
I would like to start this essay off by asking a very important question. What is wrong with my neighborhood? The answer to this question is I do not know. In 2025, I only want to inform all of you that things have changed dramatically because there is no sense of openness and honesty.
Next, I want to inform all of you that my family members and I have been arguing every single day for the past 18 months now. My family arguments have occurred more frequently because I have been paying rent at my relatives apartment.
My neighbors are a member of the European Descent. I really cannot tell everyone what to do inside of their own house. However, I want to inform everyone that a lot of people from other descents have moved out of the property because of a rent increase. I really think it is time to leave Dayton, Ohio.
Whoever stated that Dayton, Ohio is a very nice city, they are really telling lies. I want to inform you that my neighbors refused to allow the repairman to fix the property because they stated that they had to wait until a specified person come home from work.
Further, I want to inform you that my hometown of Dayton, Ohio has racial problems. The majority culture are more dominant when it comes to population than minorities. The neighborhood that I currently live at right now is predominantly European Americans. The apartment complex that I am living at consists of people who are really like myself because we are all barely making it.
Moreover, I want to inform everyone that: the cost of living inside of the Dayton, Ohio has increased dramatically since 2010. During the past 15 years, I have been living here inside of different neighborhoods. For the past 14 years, I have lived at Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments which is located inside of Northwest Dayton, Ohio.
The Northwest Side of Dayton, Ohio is predominantly African American and people of Latin Descent. One thing that I have noticed is that there is a lot of people who are of Asian Descent living inside of our neighborhoods right now. There are also people from South African Descent moving to the Dayton, Ohio Area.
There are people who are moving to Dayton, Ohio from other states in the United States. I even noticed that people are moving here from Los Angeles, California and Chicago, Illinois.
There are people who have relocated here from the St. Lois Area due to the tornadoes that have occurred during the past few weeks. There is a small population growth during the past 5 years now. My neighborhood has changed dramatically because people from the majority culture are not as friendly as they once were in years past.
Finally, I want to inform all of you that Huber Heights and Riverside, Ohio is considered as Tornado Alley inside of the Montgomery County Area. To be honest with you, some people remind me of pigs that is inside of the mud. I used to have my head inside of the sand because I was involved inside of failed relationships.
Frankly, we all have our own share of problems. I have been clean and sober for 35 years now. I cannot deal with negativity of all sorts. My nieces and nephews have been dissing me for the past 15 years now. My family members rarely come over to visit me and my brother. I really love everyone no matter what has transpired in the past.
I am the type of person who does not like drama that is coming from anyone including myself. I am staying out of trouble because my life at this time has been filled with chaos. May the Lord Jesus continue to Bless You!! Please keep me and all of my family members in your prayers right now. Therefore; my neighborhood is not integrated like it is in the South and the West Coast right now. Thank you for reading my essay.
Sincerely,
Anthony Joseph Hopkins
From Dayton, Ohio
