How many felonies does a person need to have before you don't want to live next to them?

Is there a number you can forgive, and a number where you write them off.

We've all likely known someone, be it a family member, guy from high school, a neighborhood's kid, etc...who is always in trouble with the law.

I typically haven't thought that person as "good" with an unfortunate habit of committing crime. They tend to bully, park on their lawn, blast the radio, peel out in the street, talk loud on the phone, and other non-neighborly, inconsiderate things.

If I had a neighbor who the police were often being called on, and he ended up being killed in a police action, right or wrong, I'd be a little relieved not only for myself & my neighbors, but would be relieved for the family. While I know they may be sad and angry, the chaos & worry the person brought them is over.

I have a relative who would show up and ask for a place to stay, only to wake up in the morning to find him and your TV missing. When he's in jail, as he often is, his mother says "at least I know he's safe" because she's always just waiting for that inevitable call from the corners office the day he picks the wrong people to steal from.


I just wish people could separate themselves from bad people. They aren't you, regardless of last name, birth country, race, gender, or otherwise. They are simply bad people.

The question, can we collectively decide like "3 strikes", when we as a society determines that no one should be subject to living next to a person?
