I think that the homes on Notre Dame and Washington are beautiful. Why would you pretend that they are not a huge improvement? i know that the "community" would rather have a crack house put up in the middle of that development, but it wasn't the case. If you want your toilets to stop backing up, then stop using baby wipes. Drains and sewers are not one in the same. Stop pretending that you understand how things work. the truth is that you just love to complain and imagine that you actually have a community and you can organize to make a difference. Who in their right mind misses possums and racoons? If anything their is more trash for them to eat with more people living there so dont sweat it. The houses in that neighborhood are a huge improvement. You have Academy Homes right across the street. How many shootings and drug areests happen there every night? Stop kidding yourself. I'd love to know which delapidated house in that neighborhood is yours. It could definitely use a good rehab. But lets face it, you rent.
Don’t be such a coward – writing anonymously is so passive aggressive. Although if these comments were in fact made by one of the people involved with the construction I am not terribly surprised as your boss tends to avoid meetings with communities and when confronted relies on aggression and insults to get his point across.- As for the houses being dilapidated I am sure Jackie, Mohammed and Rodrigo will be thrilled to know about their homes being dilapidated. I’ll be sure to pass that on to them.
- Now, seriously why would we want a crack house? That is just silly. There’s one around the corner on Bragdon St, so we’re all set thank you very much.
- Now, visually the new homes are very nice, but we all watched them get built and have some terribly interesting photographs of the construction. We don’t make groundless accusations, we research issues, provide documentation – like the professionals we are. We also do have a very good understanding of “how things work.”
- You mention Academy Housing, and while there have been some issues with crime there overall it has not impacted us at all, but when a 4 year old is shot in a neighboring house, a murder suspect is arrested outside of our front door, and the police make frequent slow drives or stop due to the yelling and shouting from the condos on Notre Dame St one has to wonder. We also discovered from a neighbor that those very same condos are Section 8 – they were very shocked and disappointed. We alas were not.
- Our toilets have never backed up – the pipes in the basement have. We have had sewage come up through those pipes. We have watched as drain covers have been blown off in the street – something that never happened before the construction even during the heaviest rains
- Baby wipes – now why on earth would a childless couple have a need for baby wipes? If you had bothered to look at any other posts you would have realized this, and also realized that we are struggling to have a child. If you did read any other posts then you are quite simply spiteful, insensitive and cruel.
- As for the complaints we made:
OSHA – that was because there was little or no safety precautions on the site – this includes the young boy who was up a tree with no safety equipment while hacking away at a branch with a chain saw
The city for the noise of idling trucks outside my front door before 07:00, for construction workers using the front yard as a thoroughfare, for consistently blocking ingress and egress to my home and for having portable generators spew fumes constantly and then having staff dump the empty fuel containers wherever they saw fit. - I welcome comments however; no matter how vitriolic they are, as I believe that everyone has a right to their opinions and to free speech. My one request is that you please double check your spelling and grammar ( I have highlighted your spelling and grammatical errors in red), and please avoid unsubstantiated personal attacks as they are just unprofessional.
- Where exactly did you go to college?
And in closing here are some interesting links - 1 rather old and 2 from this past year.
