My friend phoend me up, and asked if i could help her - there has been an ongoing battle with the drugies and transients right behind her place (apt). Part of the problem was a hedge of blackberry canes, which gave the scum a nice place to hide behind to do their drugs and sleep.

So i showed up with a wickedly honed Khukuri and LEVELED the hedge. Its an abandoned building anyways, so i dont really care about legalities.....

Problem solved for the most part - now the there is a clear line of site form allt he apt units into the abanonded buldiong loading zone area, and the scum cant hide anymore.
 
good ol Kabar khukuri!

i owuld have taken pic before after pics but her camera was charging....
 
That's a good step. Now, finish up by installing a kilowatt of halogen light with a dusk-to-dawn sensor and the problem will really be solved.

Let me hazard a guess that the landlord will be less than enthusiastic about spending the money on it. I could be wrong of course.
I lived in an apartment that USED to be very nice, until the meth addicts took over. The landlord knew about the problem, and complained every which way, but refused to pony up the money to fix the problem. Finally the city "suggested" in the politest possible terms that he put up the lights, as the police were there far too often, and he did so.

Anyways, good job! Not only did you do a service, but one gets this bizarre rush from chopping down blackberry bushes and nuisance weeds. I don't know where it comes from, but it's as primal as whacking a tuna. Caveman stuff.

You could always just replace any outdoor lights with motion-sensor directional spotlights. Or, they also make a few varieties of normal-looking porch lights that go from pleasant dim glow, to area-lighting bright on an automatic sensor.

You can occasionally find a full setup at Lowes or Home Depot for under $40.00. Lighting fixtures are ridiculously simple to replace.
 
haha i'd loved to see the look on their faces if there were actual junks around when you approached the bushes with the kukri in hand :p
