It's been a year since the Dallas Housing Authority moved 50 homeless people into the Cliff Manor Apartments in Oak Cliff. Neighbors were not happy about the idea. Most of them say it's not been quite as bad as they expected.
There was the new resident who defecated in the elevator several times. He doesn't have a medical problem, he just did it because he wanted to. There have been more fights and drug use. Ambulances and police are coming more frequently -- in fact, the Dallas police reported an 86% increase in calls for everything from assaults to burglaries since the new guys moved in.
It's unclear, the newspaper says, what caused the increase. Well, Duh!

LOL, sort of like sticking your head under the faucet and then wondering why your hair is wet!
