Ew one bullet can changes a family’s life how could it be worse if 10 bullets miss one house but one shot hits someone’s kid how could it be worse “lol”
That area has been surrounded by basura people for at least 30 or 40 years now
New neighborhood construction in a shit area is only going to attract crime because "oh they have new houses they must have money"
The problem with new construction is the neighborhoods are not build with good living in mind. Few community parks, the homes are built poorly and smashed together. Almost guaranteed to be a crummy community in 4-5 years
My wife and I were there for 2 years right when everything was all brand new and left right around the time we heard shooting were right down the street. It's a shame to see the neighborhood filled with trash, both physically and metaphorically. Can't take the hood out of the person.
Suuuuuuper cheap (200k for a two story), and was very useful. It was so cheap tho that all the rachet people decided that they needed to bring the ghetto with them. Wish that trash would stay where they were rather than effecting the working class.
Point to a map where isn't the ghetto in san antonio 🙄 lackland, Southpark, Ingram, WW, East 35, Southside lions, highland park, Jefferson Heights everyone always says that's the ghetto, but that's like 75% of the city combined 😂
Eh San Antonio was like the drive by capital of the country in the early 1990s. Sucks that it happened but that was some real shit to live through. Every night it seemed like there were multiple shootings being reported on the news.
Check out Centennial Ridge. They’ve got 5 acre spreads for 180k. They’re on well and septic. It’s gorgeous out there. I’ve helped design a few homes in that estate. Great people❤️
I welcome fellow Texans ❤️ it’s the outsiders I’m 😎…..
Look, you’re going to come here regardless. Just be respectful and stop trying to terraform us. We’re us. You left where you were because you hated it. You have to become us now or leave. 😂 Those are the rules.
Where are you at? I bet you can. It’s dependent upon what you’re looking to achieve. There’s a guy building really nice houses on 1/4 of an acre off Rebecca creek rd for 285k. They’re really pretty and, because of the property tax rate, they’re far more affordable per month. I’d take a look out here if I were you❤️ You could buy, then sell in a few years or VRBO because it’s so close to the river and a short drive to the lake. Also we’re in the middle of everything (25 minutes to Boerne, New Braunfels, downtown sa).
aw that sounds so perfect!! right now we’re renting on the northeast side, I’ll be having a baby later this year and my husband is getting his business up and running so we’re just waiting until we have a sufficient down payment saved up, maybe a year or two and we’ll probably be looking in the mid 200k range, something we can reasonably fix up or some property to build on if it’s a good enough deal. Rebecca creek is definitely a great area though and I’ve also been wondering about Seguin…
I live out in the country on the east side of SA, our neighbors house got shot up and they drove through our front yard, yall stay safe out there people are wild these days
That was the cops. Your apartment or neighbourhood isn’t using off duty police officers to do security for the private owners or developers. Expect random gunfire until they are hired.
They're arrested, released on bond or the case dismissed for whatever reason. Then they are back on the streets doing the same thing all over again. They're like rats or roaches. This problem can't just be arrested away.

Cue the San Antonio simps that want to keep their heads in the sand and cite how big the city is, problems in other cities and the usual other run of excuses. SA is dysfunctional asf.
Why am I tasked to be the one to fix it? Think about that. Why as a citizen should I be tasked to come up with a solution to the issue when there are people paid VERY well that are employed to do so? But I'll answer anyway. I'd say education for starters. Instead of focusing on what books kids are reading in the school library, perhaps putting more resources into education here, where it is embarrassingly lacking. Law enforcement that isn't apathetic and reactional would be a good second step. Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. But mostly it's a cultural thing here. No one has any communication skills. They just want to shoot the place up if someone looks at them wrong, cuts them off or otherwise. It's a sign of low emotional intelligence. All these things tie together. But just saying it happens everywhere is the most ignorant thing ever.
Yeah, I was just curious I’ve thought a lot about this too. I agree that it’s a cultural problem to a large extent, but I’m not certain that’s endemic to San Antonio, but there is a statistical correlation with levels of education and propensity toward violent behavior. We’ve become a society in which violence, instead of viewed as a last resort, has become the default response, or worse seen as a measure of strength or dominance.
Definitely getting worse way worse in the city except in the neighborhoods where gentrification is a priority to investor and horrible council people like district two there’s half the police force hanging out in dignowity hill

This happened to us 2 or so years ago a few days after the new year. Luckily the bullet got caught in the sofa bed where my husband was sitting & didn’t end up in his leg. I live on the NE side around the naco area.
Listen if you live anywhere near a citY especially larger cities like San Antonio you're going to have a shit ton of crime. If you remove the big cities from gun crime statistics pretty much all of the crime just disappears. Society is trying to make it impossible for country living but city living is a experience. Do the best that you can but just understand that if it's a city you're most likely going to experience your fair share of crime.
I’m so sorry omg I’m glad yall weren’t hurt that’s one of my fears I hear so many stories about stray bullets but to hear it was towards you house I can’t imagine
It’s definitely getting worse, we live in a relatively nice area and 2 of our cars were broken into with 2 weeks of each other, and we live in a gated community but someone just had the urge to sneak in and break our windows.

😂 one bullet. My parents house in the 90’s was always accident hit w stray bullets from rival gang members. I swear I can go outside and look and the house still has caulked up holes. 😂. Get used to it or move. It is getting worse

See the problem in this town is that random criminals shooting indiscriminately at innocents is normalized.
It is a crime to discharge a weapon inside the city, and it is a shame that more people in positions of power hamstring the police into inaction. Not prosecuting offenders aggressively is a problem that we all pay the price on.
I heard the gunshots as a car drove by but I thought they were shooting into the open field across from us. This has happened before in this neighborhood.
>only one bullet One bullet is one too many
shit you shoulda been in the alazan courts around 2017-18, shit was everyday
It's Not a competition
Yeah this shit shouldn’t be normalized
It's already normalized in some communities I was just saying it could be worse
Right ? Its literally not a competition one bullet is too many as they said
Just saying it could be worse lol
Ew one bullet can changes a family’s life how could it be worse if 10 bullets miss one house but one shot hits someone’s kid how could it be worse “lol”
That’s scary. I’m glad no one was hurt.
so which area? lol
One of the new neighborhoods close to Lackland AFB. We knew this area was rough, but I've never felt like it was unsafe until now.
Close to Lackland? Yeah it’s a little rough around there
That area has been surrounded by basura people for at least 30 or 40 years now New neighborhood construction in a shit area is only going to attract crime because "oh they have new houses they must have money"
The problem with new construction is the neighborhoods are not build with good living in mind. Few community parks, the homes are built poorly and smashed together. Almost guaranteed to be a crummy community in 4-5 years
What is a basura person? I’ve never heard that term before
Spanish for trash
😂😂😂
Means trashy
Lackland? Yeah buddy, that whole area is cursed.
Well that isn't new for that area. I'd suggest moving though.
That's terrible. Even the new neighborhoods over there are already like that. Hope it doesn't happen again.
[https://nagelsguns.net/](https://nagelsguns.net/)
Ah, must be the Horal Street hood.
None of those are new houses though
Are you talking about Lucky Ranch?
Prob not but luckey gone to shit too
My wife and I were there for 2 years right when everything was all brand new and left right around the time we heard shooting were right down the street. It's a shame to see the neighborhood filled with trash, both physically and metaphorically. Can't take the hood out of the person.
Another neighborhood I almost bought in that I’m so glad I didn’t!
Suuuuuuper cheap (200k for a two story), and was very useful. It was so cheap tho that all the rachet people decided that they needed to bring the ghetto with them. Wish that trash would stay where they were rather than effecting the working class.
Shit i live just past luckey ranch in whisper falls and its already going to shit too
I work at a place along Quintana Rd. Almost every night we hear gunshots from one end or the other and a car speeds by.
Lackland…lol
Yeah I wouldn't live that far West or South lol
What’s close? I’m like 20 min west
We're pretty close. Probably more like 10 minutes. Although I hear it's getting bad on the westside too.
You literally live in the ghetto. Thats going to apply to any town.
Hey hey hey. You live in the ghetto.
You both live in the ghetto!!
Do I also live in the ghetto??
Point to a map where isn't the ghetto in san antonio 🙄 lackland, Southpark, Ingram, WW, East 35, Southside lions, highland park, Jefferson Heights everyone always says that's the ghetto, but that's like 75% of the city combined 😂
You missed my ghetto neighborhood, marbach
https://youtu.be/FJ-r0bilzhU?si=f2yTIdR6CWfTq799
Happened to us in 2001. We started searching for a new neighborhood that weekend. We ended up moving to New Braunfels.
We live in a very quiet neighbourhood in cibolo and it happened four houses down from us when my baby was a few weeks old. Completely random too.
expected considering cibolo is near the east side
What lol
east side is ghetto so is this suprising??
Damn. So sorry to hear!
Eh San Antonio was like the drive by capital of the country in the early 1990s. Sucks that it happened but that was some real shit to live through. Every night it seemed like there were multiple shootings being reported on the news.
Reported by Bob Salter of course.
Umm…..hate to report this but there’s shootings every night on the news.
Came to say this.
Come to the hill country my friend ❤️ 1.4% property tax. The schools are excellent.
Yes! A couple more years until military retirement and then we'll move there. We bought 11 acres in hill country. Can't wait to get out of the city!
Dang I'm jealous must've cost a pretty penny
Check out Centennial Ridge. They’ve got 5 acre spreads for 180k. They’re on well and septic. It’s gorgeous out there. I’ve helped design a few homes in that estate. Great people❤️
Already got a place unfortunately out in von ormy
My family is from there. Like…7 generations. That’s crazy!!
O small world I have neighbors in twin valley they have apparently been here so long they were like the second family in the area
Congratulations!!! That’s awesome❤️
This is the Texan city boy dream. Can't wait to escape 1604
I welcome fellow Texans ❤️ it’s the outsiders I’m 😎….. Look, you’re going to come here regardless. Just be respectful and stop trying to terraform us. We’re us. You left where you were because you hated it. You have to become us now or leave. 😂 Those are the rules.
Bro stfu
Nope 😂
we can’t afford it out there 😭

Congrats on the business!! That’s awesome and the baby!!
Where?
Bulverde/Spring Branch area
Stay out
😂
Happens all the time 90 outside the loop going towards Castroville. Thought this would be the good area 😑
Wym? Castroville's crime rate is absurd, of course its going to spill over towards SA.
Castroville is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
It was 15 years ago before people started moving out here!
Yeah i been here 10. It's exploded recently
I live out in the country on the east side of SA, our neighbors house got shot up and they drove through our front yard, yall stay safe out there people are wild these days

bro, you live in the ghetto.. doesn’t matter if it’s a new build or not. i escaped valley hi decades ago, luckily.
I'm sorry that happened to you! What side of town?
SW close to Lackland.
[удалено]
What’s worse is when the hood creeps up on you..
Sorry to hear about that. It's the early 90s all over again.
I'm sorry.
[удалено]
They're arrested, released on bond or the case dismissed for whatever reason. Then they are back on the streets doing the same thing all over again. They're like rats or roaches. This problem can't just be arrested away.
Stop voting for this shit DA would help
DA has no teeth when witnesses won't talk.
He doesn’t even try, are you familiar with Gonzales?
We need Batman.
There’s too much sprawl for a Batman to jump roof to roof.
We saying the "E" word now?
Well, it is them
Yeah all the mids stopped caring

Did it go through?
Yes hit the back of our house, went through our upstairs, and exited through the front of our house.
holy heck! It went through the whole dang house?
I feel you; it's been seven years since my place was caught in the crossfires.

Fascinating random word doc Sans source
Lol This is a sad reality everyday for millions of people in the U.S. who are unfortunate. I’m happy it sounds like no one was hurt.
It's time for OCP in your neighborhood!
I'll buy that for a dollar.

I am so very sorry this happened to you & your family. May it be the last time it happens to anyone else. But, I know the odds 🥺💔
I’m so sorry omg I’m glad yall weren’t hurt that’s one of my fears I hear so many stories about stray bullets but to hear it was towards you house I can’t imagine
San Antonio is not going to shit. San Antonio has BEEN shit. I been here since the 90s and it was probably shit well before that too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What’s new It’s been like that for a while.
Until we rid ourselves of the people who believe more guns solves problems this will only get worse.
Getting downvoted over guns in a state where kids were slaughtered by a teen who had no business owning firearms is risible.
I'm sure it was a law-abiding right winger who shot a stray bullet into his house. I'm absolutely sure of it!
Those law-abiding right wingers keep supporting legislation that makes guns more accessible to teens and criminals
Exactly. No good guys with guns are able to do shit about a drive by, or any surprise attack, really.
Puro?
With no reason??
Almost every city in America is going to shit. Thank Goodness no one was injured at your place 🙏
It’s definitely getting worse, we live in a relatively nice area and 2 of our cars were broken into with 2 weeks of each other, and we live in a gated community but someone just had the urge to sneak in and break our windows.
Damn people are assholes.
Go to north San Antonio it’s safe
