Possession of a deadly weapon with intent to assault, Farley St. and San Ramon Ave.,
Mountain View Voice: Crime Watch (February 9, 2007)
Possession of a deadly weapon with intent to assault, Farley St. and San Ramon Ave., 2/3At 5:12 p.m. Saturday, a group of young boys with sticks was seen chasing another group on Farley Street and San Ramon Ave. Police located the group nearby. Three boys, 12 and 13 years old, tried to flee but the officers caught them. Police alerted the group that was being chased. The suspects were described as wearing bandanas and carrying a bat and metal tubing. They were cited and released to their parents.
Does it really surprise anyone that this would happen? Let’s take a look at this map from Zillow of the area in question:
Yep, that’s what I thought… it’s a pretty blighted neighborhood. Just look at the lack of million dollar properties.
Not surprising at all that possibly gang-related activities would be there.
Remember, only buy into neighborhoods that are $1mil +. Think of the children.

tsk tsk.
I bet the neighborhood is filled chock-a-block with check cashing joints. What a tragedy.

Actually… I’m pretty sure there aren’t.

Yes, I know. Perhaps I should have used the /facetious/ tags.

Ok, I know this is really off topic (sorry!), but your map makes me think of a question:
What ever happened to Zillow? I mean, weren’t their Zestimates being criticized for being misleading? Where do they stand now?

Ah, got the comment. Silly me.

The WSJ reported that they were actually pretty accurate most of the time. But when they’re wrong, they’re way wrong.
