I've been posting about the ghetto-ification of Farmers Branch, TX since August 2013. The "city" still continues to have a precarious standing to this day.
Now why do I say Farmers Branch, TX is short-sighted? Well, since my beef has encompassed the waste of money police department and the so-called local government, those are the ones that are being short-sighted, and here's why. They forget that these blog posts wind up on Google.
So anyone doing a search on "corrupt cops" will likely find these blog posts about Farmers Branch, TX. If they look up "corrupt government," the posts will appear in search results. Even if it's something more innocuous, like "buying a home in Farmers Branch, TX", prospective buyers would see these posts and may decide NOT to become a part of the Farmers Branch tax rolls, knowing that the local police and the city allow an increase in crime and a decrease in property values. I suppose the FBPD would be thrilled if someone looked up "apartments in Farmers Branch, TX" and opted NOT to rent an apartment at, say, Prairie Crossing, since that high-end complex is a part of Farmers Branch, TX. Goodness knows FBPD picks and chooses who gets curb-stomped and who is allowed to do whatever.
(Like the feud I was having with the Banging Brood next door before they moved. The FBPD discriminated against me by refusing to punish the Banging Brood, but carting me off to the hospital because I'm mentally disabled and childless by abstinence.)
Those are other ways Farmers Branch, TX is short-sighted. When someone googles "discrimination" or "civil rights violation", blog posts appear.
They say "money talks". Well, money can also walk. And it'll be walking away from Farmers Branch, TX, thanks to this blog.
As I was telling a woman a few nights ago, if I somehow won the lottery, I'd be hanged before purchasing a home anywhere within Farmers Branch, TX boundaries. They did me wrong, and the odds are pretty good you'll get similar treatment, especially if you rent. I'll be damned if I'm giving my tax money for this pack of good-for-nothings.
