This is a rental property. How can this be? It looks like it is going to collapse. There is always trash in the yard. The same refuse has been setting in front of it for weeks. Please, clean up our neighborhood. This owner owns three houses in a row. How do they pass inspection?
In the first three months of 2022, we had a number of workers (it seems from various companies) over about 2 months showing up to put up a new power pole in our backyard. We did not request this. One group, when asked said that someone would be back to take down the old pole which was marked with 2 large Xs in white paint (an eyesore). No one every came. At one point, one crew took down part of our back fence and ran equipment over the property line killing our ground cover and grass and killing a rhodendrum bush. I called Duke Energy weeks ago to inquire, but they never got back to me.
You just don't get it. It's not about having a "better" police nationally credentialed by a profession steeped in oppression. You don't get praise for being the top 5 percent of oppressive militarized domestic forces. Are functions of an armed police force necessary unfortunately in present day United States, yes. But should they be LEADING public safety? Absolutely not. Change starts at the top and a public safety chief, perhaps of a law background or social work or public health, not police, needs to be in charge. Social workers and resource officers are seen as LESS THAN by police, as an ACCESSORY to a primary police force. That needs flipped. We need management, particularly a chief, as a social worker for instance. Social workers know when to call on police. Police can be an ACCESSORY to social work. That's the change that is needed. Policing must become the SECONDARY profession and presence when it comes to making sure we are a safe community. Social work and related can be 24 hours just the same as police; ask a foster care case manager. This is solvable! Change the system. The expertise in the community is there.
Our street seams to be the only one left to be salted or plowed. Can we please get a truck out?
Curious: why was this Bryan Park bluebird box moved from the east side to the west side of the big Norway spruce between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn picnic shelter? Thanks!
Limb down in road
Overgrown weeds throughout property; trash and broken glass behind buildings; overgrown bushes blocking view by 17th street.
On the west side of Highland Avenue just north of Sheridan Drive the road is falling apart. You can see it in the included photo and it will be easy to find when you stop by. It might be worth taking a look at to see if it needs to be repaired.
