“On a daily basis, 24 hours a day we deal with yelling and screaming,” Wood said. They’re throwing bottles and cans in our yard, you know, you’ve got to pick up needles.”“And we call the police they do nothing about it. And we call the assembly, and they do nothing about it, and we’re tired,” Wood said.
