Something must be done about the outsiders who are coming into Altoona and leeching off of our resources. It wouldn't be right to talk badly about Section 8 housing people because I have had to use that before, but my problems is that people from our own town are being put at the back of the list.I've heard that in New Jersey and in some other places, there are flyers in their welfare offices advertising Altoona and how well we treat these people.There is seriously a problem when I go into the mall and see Blood gang members in the parking lot IN ALTOONA.

If we don't send a message soon, gangs are going to start fighting for territory and we'll see drive-by shootings in our neighborhoods. Seriously, is anyone doing anything to help us?
