It is a community of people who want to stay put.There are people who have lived <br /> in our neighborhood as homeowners for nine years or more, and renters who have been <br /> there for 3-5 years who are now buying homes in our community. <br /> My concern is that with more trailer park space,we are moving backward- dooming our <br /> neighborhood to go down hill, instead of making positive changes. I would prefer those <br /> lots be used to build small houses,for families that want to continue to make our <br /> neighborhood strong. The county needs more culturally mixed neighborhoods that work; <br /> and this is one of them. Personally, I would like to see the whole trailer park move; <br /> because it is where the problems in our neighborhood come from. These include excessive <br /> speeding where many children live, and there are no sidewalks or yield signs, late night <br /> noise disturbances,littering of alcohol bottles and other rubbish,and drug dealing. <br /> -1- <br />
