i think that its westrums best interest to subdue crime in the area. when you look at rentals in the brewerytown area relating to westrum, it seems that most are buying to resell and renting in the meantime. this is not good. the price is going up but the people who bought them have to bring the rental price down. im not sure why people would want to buy let alone rent in a crime infested neighborhood. i was thinking that we should contact the rep for westrum. i know that penrose properties will be there at the next west girard meeting. other people to cantact would be azim mahamid at the brewerytoen cdc, he is trying to start a townwatch in brewerytown.
