both, the park regularly has kids playing in it from the neighborhood. Kids run up and down the streets not worrying about violence, etc.

Is the area dangerous enough that they would not be safe without the police officer neighbor? What if the officer isn't home or is sleeping?

You’re the one playing bad faith word games and being incredibly rude and obnoxious.

It was really a genuine question. I was not attacking them; I think they offer a valuable perspective.

oh yeah, they love me and my views so much! if only I weren't so terrible they could love me even more!

Did you buy this property because you knew of the police neighbor? Is it just well known for the kids as well?

It's just a strange signifier to me. Does a real estate agent mention this? Do they know they play this role? Are they compensated in any way? Should other neighborhoods encourage the presence of a single police officer home?

Reverse that.

Why is it a strange signifier that a police officer living next door and a park where kids are openly playing implies it's a nice neighborhood that you might enjoy living in?

it's like saying it's a strange signifier that you would avoid a neighborhood with homeless walking down the street pushing carts and empty syringes laying around the sidewalk.

Neither of those seem strange conclusions and I posit that if you can't understand that it says more about you than anything else.

and yes, I've been shown houses in neighborhoods like that, and no, I didn't move in.

oh man, no response?

I'm shocked...

oh wait, no I'm not, the post wasn't honestly given.
