In life there are times that you need to face you nemesis. A time when that which is good prevails over that which is bad, provided you have the proper resources. For example, the Su Casa Apartments have been a nemesis to the neighborhood for as many years as I have lived here and that is close to 20. If you call the non emergency number for the police you do not need an address, just a name, Su Casa. They know it.
For several years the city has been trying to get the place cleaned up. The city finally had to resort to purchasing the property. They then sent the fire department out to use it for training. They cut holes in the roofs and walls. They used their ladders and hoses to practice fire drills. I thought they would burn the place down for practice. Much to my surprise and delight they brought in something to take a bite out of the place. Sometimes you need to give a problem a good strong grip and give it a rip. May the munching begin.
