Tenants should join the neighborhood watch

“Move on!” I heard a few minutes ago when I was outside in my South Cedar Park neighborhood. It’s not the first time I’ve heard that. It might have been a Ring doorbell or the Ubiquiti speaker-enabled access point of the mobbing house on one side or another or a cell phone deployed from a car or other exterior location for transmit and speaker use.

The neighborhood watch has been corrupted by real estate and the politics of hate. Those who took me for a victim and decided to take dangerous criminal measures to turn over not only this, my long-time rental home in Seattle, but my childhood home in Albany, California (different watch group, same tactics, and the same speculative interests) are either shameless or desperate to cover up what they’ve done. And the fact that it is a bullying crime increases the danger to me and to other victims of mobbing.

If the City of Seattle is going to do nothing while tenants are dangerously harassed by neighborhood watch groups, contractors and speculators, tenants should join the neighborhood watch groups in their areas and become “captains,” “coordinators,” or what have you. Maybe then, mobbing victims who didn’t bother with cars until mid-life wouldn’t have to use them to keep these neighborhood predators further from the house. Perhaps neighborhood watch groups like the one in my South Cedar Park neighborhood would not have started harassing tenants renting single-family homes if they hadn’t been given carte blanche to do so.
