Sure, Plano's Real Safe and All. Nice. But What's This You Say About the Grow Houses?

• It is so stereotypical for a Naive White Libtard like G. David Gates to completely ignore the fact that every single heroin dealer responsible for dealing heroin to the Plano junkies turned out to be a Mexican/latino. Also stereotypical for such a Naive White Libtard is how G. David Gates totally ignores the fact that Dallas has had a terrible "cheese heroin" problem (much more recently than Plano's heroin problem) that has killed several people, and that every single one of the OD's and dealers of the "cheese heroin" turned out to be a Mexican/latrino.

• @ G. David Gates - Admit it, you only see youth suicide and drug abuse as a problem when it's white kids in the suburbs. In Dallas it's an acceptable part of the cultural mix that makes people like you so very hip and progressive. I have advice for you, stay where you are. We have our share of misfits, we don't need another. Wilonsky has a hard on for Plano and loves to take pot shots at Collin County. I think he's just bummed that there may be better weed available north of the Bush Turnpike.

• Jay described the DISD in probably the most accurate way I've seen in years.

• You must be between 19 and 23 years old and have serious "daddy issues". Keep on ignoring reality, libtard.

• Considering the steroid use is still going on, your math sucks. I'm sure you think it's just coincidence that ever generation for the last THIRTY YEARS has found life so miserable that it can't even stand the thought of living. The method changes, but the symptoms remain. Take your chances raising you kids in that wasteland up there dipshits. If you're lucky, they'll make it through puberty. But there's a greater chance they won't, living there, than pretty much anywhere in the U.S. You must be quite proud.

• 80's = 30 years ago 90's = over 10 years ago since 1999 TODAY AND EVERY DAY IN: East Dallas / Lakewood / Lower Greenville / Oak Cliff = tons of illegal alien Mexican gangsters, black gangsters, drive-by shootings, multiple people killed every single week of the fucking year, begging bums, home invasions by black gangsters who rape elderly women to death (want the link to the news story, libtard?) etc. etc. etc. Don't tell me it isn't true because I have lived in all those neighborhoods, seen it with my own eyes, plus it is on the news every day. Plano isn't paradise but at least we don't have to deal with that kind of shit every single goddamn day. Even according to you, Plano's worst problems happened well over 15 years ago. Enjoy your groovie hipster shithole neighborhood. I know I will

• Hmmmm... teen suicides in the 80's, heroin overdoses in the 90's, rampant teenage steroid use in the 00's (along with every affluent suburb in Texas). Yeah, that's what I call paradise.

• Please explain in detail exactly what it is that you find so objectionable about Plano. - Anus Farter

• Not sure breathing solely through one's mouth is a sign of low intelligence. But it's definitely a sign of the type of social misfit that sits in his parents' basement in his underwear, eating Chee-tos all day and getting the above-mentioned undergarment all twisted because somebody made a joke at Plano's expense. I mean, come one for chrissakes, it's f'ing Plano!

• There is a Section 8 apartment complex within two miles of my street. It's surrounded by $250,000-$350,000 houses. Could it be that race and income disparity are less important than having stability at the Police Department, hiring better police officers and providing better training? And having a city council that isn't divided into those seeking higher office and those heading for federal prison? And should we get into the Sheriffs and Constables in both counties? Ours are over-paid so they don't seem to be as corrupt as in Dallas. And finally, could a difference be that PISD is managed as an education delivery organization, unlike DISD which seems to be a jobs program, source of contracts for trustees and a fertile arena for stealthy embezzlement? There, I said it, and I was breathing through my nose the whole time.

• "If you have low incomes in an environment with high incomes, it creates a crime vector between the 'haves' and 'have-nots,'" So what he is really saying is that the spread of Section-8 apartments actually is as stupid as I thought it was.

• <i>But money alone isn't the key to safety. The size of the wealth gap matters more. "If you have low incomes in an environment with high incomes, it creates a crime vector between the 'haves' and 'have-nots,'" says Bruce McIndoe, president of iJet Intelligent Risk Systems, a Maryland-based risk-assessment firm. "Places like Plano and Honolulu are more homogeneous."</i> How convenient, they excluded everything east of 75/Central.

• Having bad sinuses is obviously a sign of low intelligence.

• The size of the wealth gap? Crime vector? Talk English, for Christ's sake! "Crime vector" sounds like one of them things a libtard would say. Always using more words than they really need. Libtards are always studying things, analyzing this and that. The world is a very simple place; everything is either black or its white. @#$% libtards...

• What the hell is a "mouth-breather"? Is it anything like an "anus-farter"? Are you seriously trying to claim that you have never breathed through your mouth during your lifetime?

• The Observer allows Robert to write the blog because he's intelligent, entertaining, and always has interesting take on whatever he's writing about. Not that making fun of the assholes in Plano/Frisco et al isn't fun as hell though. Especially the assholes that can't read that Bob was talking about economic homogeneity more than racial. Man, the mouth-breathers are out in force today!

• Why does the Dallas Observer allow this hipster asshole writer to insult and alienate a huge section of the Observer's potential local market simply based upon where they live and what race they are? I would think that the business people in charge down there would have much better business sense than that. I guess your shitty business acumen can be "explained" in that you are all so fucking stoned that you can't think properly.

• I also live in central Plano (Indy & Parker) and 'jay' just described my neighborhood. Including several families of orthodox Jewish folk who walk to synagogue every week.

• On my Plano cul-de sac, with 12 houses. My south neighbor - black family of three. On my north, Iranian family of three. Next north, Hispanic family of somewhere between 4 and 12.....hard to tell. Next house north, Jewish family of four. Then two white families, one with all adopted children. Across the street, an Asian family of six, then a group home for assisted elderly living, four to six residents and a nurse, then a conservative (home school) family, and two retired white empty next couples. A few residents I don't know, but they appear white or Mediterranean. Diversity? Naw, just neighbors. Sorry if we don't measure up to East Dallas or M-Street cool..but you know what, go F...yourselves.

• Are Libtard and Divershitty the same person or do we just have more ignorant people commenting these days...

• Plano just doesn't have enough of the wonderful benefits of amazing divershitty to satisfy Robert.

• Horse shit. You and I both know that you really meant that Plano is "too white". Don't be such a transparent and disingenuous Naive White Libtard!

• I may indeed be libtarded. But at least I can read. The part about Plano's homogeneity comesfrom the piece: But money alone isn't the key to safety. The size of the wealth gap matters more. "If you have low incomes in an environment with high incomes, it creates a crime vector between the 'haves' and 'have-nots,'" says Bruce McIndoe, president of iJet Intelligent Risk Systems, a Maryland-based risk-assessment firm. "Places like Plano and Honolulu are more homogeneous."

• Only a naive white libtard like Wilonsky would call a place that is only 61% white "homogenous".

• How much mediocre-grade Plano weed does it take to get you high enough to write a decent item, about taking down our friends to the (way) North, Robert?

• Interesting to note on the Merit scholars today in the DMN that many, many of the recipients are Asian in Plano. I don't think it is as homogenius as it once was. Was shopping in Plano yesterday at Whole Foods, etc. and again noticed how much more Plano women are put together to go shopping, including make-up, more like the Park Cities than ever. McKinney is still more laid back and I love it! I hope we can keep it that way and keep the expensive clothes and looks for a night on the town in Dallas and Plano. After all these years living in all three places, I am ready to give it a rest during the day!

• Grow houses? I'm glad to see that Plano is still the same farming community I remember from my childhood trips to Lake Texoma.

• bla wah?

• For the life of me, I'll never figure out what virtually every media personality/inkstained wretch in this town has against Plano/Frisco et al. . I mean, have you guys looked to see what a clusterf*** the City of Dallas is lately?

• Hah! You should have posted this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_kIUSr7-is Libtards!

• Also, could have gone this route. http://www.rdmag.com/News/Feeds/2010/10/policy-jfk-single-gunman-theory-shot-down-by-science/

• Plano = 61% white. Detroit = 82% black. So does this mean that "homogeneity" is more important in Detroit than it is in Plano?

• Or this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoq1S9bN8WQ

• Could have posted this too. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2010/10/poll-what-is-your-favorite-nfl-team.html

• I agree -- the whole item could use workshopping. Still, it could have been worse. I was going to post this: http://www.mp3twit.com/50Y

• Why in the world would you want to reprint a blog comment from that retard?
