I just moved back inner-city (Roxboro) after living in the burbs for 10 years. I used to live a couple blocks away in Mission before, so I'm very familiar with the area.
What's boggled my mind is the amount of in-your-face drug use that I see. In one month since moving back here I've probably seen 6-8 individuals sitting on a curb lighting up a crack pipe, in broad daylight and in public. I feel that's been a huge change since I last lived near downtown, as before I felt it was something that was being done in back alleys or corners and with some discretion...
