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.

Crime went up again in Dayton last year, and a surge in automobile thefts was one of the reasons why police recorded the most criminal offenses in years, according to Dayton Police Department data.

Dayton also saw more shootings into homes, acts of menacing, swindles and cons, stolen property crimes, drug and narcotic violations and aggravated robberies.

The Dayton Police Department said it has seen dramatic reductions in some of its property crimes since the early 2000s.

The department also said the increases in some specific crime categories reflect proactive law enforcement activities. Proactive policing typically is about preventing crime, and crime levels sometimes fluctuate because of increased enforcement.

“We are always monitoring crime trends and patterns to try to provide information to the community and deploy resources to address these issues,” a Dayton Police statement said, in response to Dayton Daily News questions. “While we pay attention to yearly increases and decreases and can make adjustments accordingly, we typically will focus more on longer term trends, such as over a five-year period.”

Overall crime

Dayton Police Department data indicate the city had about 20,340 recorded crimes last year, which was 1,430 more incidents than in 2022 (+8%).

Dayton also saw an 8% increase in crime in 2022, and crime reports increased 20% in 2021.

The city had 34 homicides and incidents of non-negligent manslaughter in 2023 — one more than in 2022 and four more than in 2021.

Dayton police also recorded 155 aggravated robberies (+9% from 2022) and 547 aggravated assaults (+3%). Aggravated assaults include shootings and violent attacks.

The city had 164 incidents of shootings into habitations, which was 37 more than in 2022 (+29%).

Police documented 1,207 menacing offenses (+28%), 876 drug and narcotic violations (+11%) and 144 incidents of swindles, confidence games and false pretenses (+23%).

Not all crimes were up. Rape offenses (160 in 2023) dropped by 25%, going back down to 2021 levels after a major spike in 2022.

Arson also dropped by 16% in 2023, according to DPD statistics, from 50 incidents to 42. Kidnapping/abduction dropped from 95 to 76 incidents (a 20% reduction).

On Sept. 20, Dayton police responded to South Jefferson Street and East Fourth Street in downtown Dayton after receiving reports about shots fired. Police discovered that a male had been shot twice in his leg, and that a female suffered a gunshot wound to the hand, a police report states.

Witnesses told police that someone in the backseat of a silver SUV fired at least 10 shots at a group of people who were on their way to the Greater Dayton RTA bus hub.

Following the drive-by shooting, Dayton police Chief Kamran Afzal said fortunately the victims would fully recover, but that this was a serious and dangerous event in a part of the city where these kinds of violent acts are fairly rare.

Examples of crime incidents

Weekly police reports show that last fall a 14-year-old in West Dayton was shot in the arm while walking down the street and a delivery driver’s vehicle was stolen at gunpoint.

A man was robbed after he arranged a meet-up to buy back his stolen minibike and a pizza delivery driver’s food items were taken by force.

Last month, a juvenile stole a cellphone and some money from a woman on South Jefferson Street, according to police. The suspect grabbed the woman’s arm and demanded her cell phone password, which she provided.

On Christmas Eve, a woman was confronted by an unknown suspect as she walked home on Ringgold Street in East Dayton, weekly police reports state. The suspect slapped her twice in the face after she said she didn’t have any money.

Auto thefts

Auto thefts have soared in Dayton in the last two years, owing primarily to a wave of stolen Hyundais and Kias due to a security defect.

Dayton had 1,546 car thefts in 2022 — up from 842 from the prior year (+84%). But in 2023, police recorded 2,435 auto thefts, a further increase of 58% from 2022′s already elevated number.

Car thieves have exploited security vulnerabilities in Hyundais and Kias that allow the vehicles to be hijacked with a basic USB cord.

Videos have circulated on social media that explain how to steal the vehicles in a few simple steps. Police have tried to crack down on auto theft, and carmakers have offered security upgrades, but the thievery continues.

Additionally, a significant number of cars and trucks have been stolen after the owners left the keys inside the vehicles. Many of the vehicles were unlocked.

What can be done

The Dayton Police Department says community members need to be aware of crime in their neighborhoods so they can take proactive measures to prevent some of these activities, especially property crimes.

Police said most violent crime is committed by someone the victim knows, which often means these events are harder to prevent.

Police said community members can learn about crime in their neighborhoods by visiting a crime mapping tool from LexisNexis called CommunityCrimeMap.com.

Police said they have learned that a small number of people are involved in shootings into homes. What often happens is one house will get fired upon and then someone else who is related to the victim will shoot at the suspect’s house.

“A lot of times we do not know what the root cause is behind these incidents,” police said.

But police said officers are using technology such as the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) to link evidence collected from shooting incidents. Police say this helps make connections to identify individuals who are pulling the trigger.

Hebrews 13:2: And What It Means to All People!!

        Praise the Lord Saints!!  Praise the Lord!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that the Bible verse Hebrews 13:2 really makes sense.  It says Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby so have entertained angels unawares. 

This is a very good Bible verse because it pertains to people, and the ability, according to the Bible, have entertained strangers.  Frankly, we are all strangers and angels on planet earth.  I am saying this because we are here on earth temporarily.  I want to say that I understand that our fellowship permanently is heaven. 

        Do you know that everything inside of the Bible is true?  It is true because it has a whole lot to do with real life as it pertains to God’s creation.  I know that we are going to be evaluated.  We are going to be evaluated according to our behavior, actions, and what we have done for God.  I even know that we are going to be evaluated by the way we have managed our money for the Lord.

Next, I keep informing everyone that we receive everything from God.  When it talks about every single thing, I am talking about everything comes from God.  John 3:27 says; John answered and said, A man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven. This is true because everything belongs to God.

Further, I want to inform all of you that we are all blessed on a daily basis.  Life itself is only a vapor.  This is the truth.  The air that we breathe does not belong to any of us.  Psalms 144:4 says that Man is like a breath, his days are a passing shadow.  This is true because God’s Spirits is inside of all of us.  I know that my essay consists of things that pertains to this life.  I am only writing a basic essay just to prove my point that; the Bible is real. 

In Addition to the necessities of life.  All things are created to established harmony on earth.  I know that human behavior is learned according to psychology.  I guess everyone we meet are strangers to all of us: with the exception of our family members.  Our friends, who know about our outer appearance.  The inside of our bodies, God knows about better than mankind. 

Finally, I know that everyone matters on earth.  I am very happy that God is examining all of us every single day of the week.  God loves all of us equally.  We are strangers in a land called Planet Earth!!
