Whatever side of the fence people seem to be sitting on, on the issues and emotions posted-

Why not put those energies into affecting some real positive changes here by PARTICIPATING in the fight ahead, to get us out of the Flood Plain, maybe possibly recoop some of our cash for flood insurance premiums we have been paying for 3 years, make sure our soil and air are SAFE for our families, and start trying to get the City to implement the Neighborhood Plan (sitting on a shelf at City Hall)that was done by FARR and Associates with many things that would bring up the neighborhood? Don't worry we have a copy.

It should not be left to a few neighborhood investors/homeowners to do all the heavy lifting.

We would hope to see ALL of you who have been posting here pro or con at the next neighborhood meeting ready and willing to work together!

A sign of good faith to the naysayers would be if this Jim everyone talks about would show up as well. His participation in the fight could be pivitol because he has received a CLMR via the City to complete his home due to their goof, in a VERY short period of time.

The City has not shown the rest of the neighborhood the same courtesy.

So put away the boxing gloves, your neighbors are not your enemies, save them for the bigger fight...
Stay tuned!

thanks

just wanted to say a quick thank you to those that seem to ''get it'' and support us. And yes I would love to attend the next meeting. If I, or my business can be of any assistance in the flood insurance fight I (we'll) do it.

A lot is going on

I have to say that I am very pleased to see that the negative stuff has settled down some what. I know it's rough. We got our tax bill and nearly freaked. We decided that since we are still in a flood plain, we will start proceedings our selves to dispute our taxes. It's only fair. I have a gut feeling that sites by the city were filled with the ''out of flood plain'' info so as to allow the city to jack up our property values. Sorry. I do real eastate mortgage docs and I know that with us still in the flood plain, our properies are vertually valueless. So, why the high taxes?, Becasue the city is screwing us into the ground as usual with lies and retreric. This is another point that will need to be discussed. So I issue a challange to all Valley Park Neighbors, Dispute your taxes! Attend the next neighborhood meeting and find out what else we can do. I am personally tired of the crap being fed to us and I refuse to sit still any longer. I have done that for 43 years. NO MORE!!!
