When the Rec center was shot at we decided it was time to look elsewhere. My wife and I have three small children (7>4) and until that incident the neighborhood was relatively quiet, diverse (still is), and not that bad of a place to be proximity wise. I appreciated the efforts of the local sub station as well. I don't know that Id put a day care in there, but since it will probably service local children there is probably a need. I wish them luck.Cedric Satterfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185008679890687357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-43195981133578524612007-10-05T08:47:00.000-05:002007-10-05T08:47:00.000-05:00I want to thank you and your officers for the effo...I want to thank you and your officers for the efforts being put forth in my neighborhood around 14th & E. I have and continue to see a difference in the stepped up efforts. <BR/><BR/>Despite some of the negative thoughts by folks in the community, the neighborhood is not that bad and I am happy to reside in this area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-77138498009790107052007-10-05T08:25:00.000-05:002007-10-05T08:25:00.000-05:00You'd think that someone that makes enough to affo...You'd think that someone that makes enough to afford a few hundred K or more for a primary residence and runs a business would understand the basics of things like planning, zoning, variances, building permits, and other such errata, as well as who actually controls those things.<BR/><BR/>Cheap rentals are too often like an infection that can rot a neighborhood from the inside out, when the landlords don't pay much attention to who moves in, just so long as they have the rent money. Criminal history checks? Credit history checks? Some of them don't care in the least. <BR/><BR/>No one wants to buy a home in an area that has a ridiculous number of crime map incident icons - at least not to live in themselves. You don't make the crime, and you really bust your butts trying to fight it. If the solution was easy, we could patent it and retire as trillionaires!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
