You have to toughenup in order to live in this city survive the cold dodge those notorious street criminals here I came to this city to Rochester Institute of Technology all the way from London, England I could not live here any longer crimes kept increasing my rent for living in college was too high and most of all this town is one lonely place to live the silence here can kill you I love the people of Rochester but I feel bad for the conditions they live in especially in a country like America

@9Trainguy D-Block, C-Block, Keys. And a few extensions of larger gangs like Bloods and Crips. But god forbid we get a Black Panther movement going, no thats not cool or in with this generation. We'd rather just kill each other for Nike sneakers instead.

@zavasa55 What are some more major gangs in Rochester? and where do they hang.

[retrograderenegades]

@zavasa55 Ah ok, when I went to a town hall meeting here you had to submit a form and wait for their approval as to whether you could speak or not. What is your proposed plan?

[zavasa55]

@retrograderenegades At the city councils meeting when I went, you can just show up. I went as a guest the first two times and they don't have you send in anything. If you want to speak, they do have an open kinda mic time when the public speaks. I have written the mayor about a plan I have and he wants me to show up for one of their meetings and I guess there idf my campagne is taking into consideration, I will probably be forced to speak on it.

@zavasa55 I've thought about going to city council meetings, I live in West Irondequoit and I've been to a town hall meeting and it was boring they didn't really talk about anything that actually affects the town, and I was disappointed. Now how does a city council meeting work? Do you have to send in a form if you want to speak that week or do they let anyone come up and say what's on their mind? Is there like a time that they let anyone who wants to speak stand at the podium?
