[Neighbors] Concern for our neighborhood

[Robert L Anderson]

I keep hoping we will see on the list some talk of a community center being planned here that would focus on the needs of our seniors and the youth especially.  We don’t even have a community meeting center, a pool or anything like that.  A skateboard site would be good.  I see appeals for more venues for alcohol and drug outlets and with the cannabis legalization people who want to make drug profits off our neighborhood are coming.  My underage teens tell me people are approaching them on the street to try these drugs.  And we even have war profiteers boldly opening a store front on Central to promote more destructive ideas and weapons to kill with.  As a Vietnam war veteran I find this very troubling and would like to see my neighborhood go in a different direction.

In community,
Bob Anderson
