Talk:Pasadena, Maryland

message: I am tempted to just remove the section. First off it reeks of POV, as if it was written by some disaffected former/current resident. Secondly, it make a lot of claims about crime, income level, drug usage, etc, and provides no sources to back them up, let alone any stats that have any kind of verifiability. I figure I give it a week and see if someone can salvage it or source it, otherwise I am just going to remove it on natural and POV reasons. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 05:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I have relatives that live in that area as well. And regardless if there are no sources to back up the information provided, it's nothing more than original research and even then it's extremely POV.  These issues are issues that could practically be said about any area any anywhere, regardless. Also the idea that people have to know is more of a reason to remove, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. If the section is not reworked and given appropriate and verifiable sources then I will remove it. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 06:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Drugs and violence are a part of any area's culture today. If you are going to specifically pick out one place, then you are going to have to provide some substationl evidence of the supposed facts that you are putting forward. Otherwise this is nothing more then hearsay. --Boothy443 |  trácht ar 07:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: There are no recorded stats about Pasadena itself. But as a former Police officer working in the Eastern District located on Mountain Rd. in Pasadena, MD. I can tell you for a fact this is not a pleasant place to live.
Violent crime, robbery and home invasions were common every day. I had many cases of car loads of roaming thugs driving around just looking to start a fight with one individual. For some reason, they got their "kicks" to have 10-13 people to gang up on an individual.
Drugs run rampant in the local youth. Everything from Marijuana to heroin is commonly found on their person when an arrest is made.
Sure, there are some positive aspects of living in Pasadena. Water sports, fine restaurants and being in close proximity to Annapolis and Baltimore.
I chose to leave Maryland all together recently and it was the best decision of my life.

*Once again, Pasadena is a large area. What's true for Rivera Beach is not true for Green Haven which is not true for Lake Shore which is not true for Mt. Carmel or Fox Hollow Run. Drugs ran rampant with all youth, especially with the middle and upper middle class kids in Pasadena who can afford it. Which is a lot of kids in Pasadena, because it's eastern sections are largely upper middle class. But "lol" at thinking a couple kids with pot and smack constitute proof an area is not "pleasant". 71.200.83.199 02:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
