Shame on you!

Having lived in this neighborhood for 12 years also, I would think that it would be obvious to you also, as to why the goal is on the street. Look at our drive, if it were level we could use it for b-ball, and if we had the $ for a concrete pad we would use it to fix the drive. Kids have been playing in the street since you were young, do you not recall your childhood? Did you not raise kids? We have spent a lot of time and money for our 14 yr old boy to have a sturdy, nice looking goal at home to shoot on. Dont like the orange? Well change it.How about the finishing pieces we haven't put up yet. It looks a lot better than the portable we had up and it got trashed by walk-by kids hanging on it! It also looks a lot better that tons of different items in this neighborhood. ie. mailboxes, colors of paint on houses... My kids have lived here all their lives and are well aware of how to respect traffic, which IS NOT busy here on Furman! There are plenty of additions that have places for kids to play and rules. Maybe instead of investing in your property you should move to one of those new neighborhoods and leave our Farley kids alone! I would think it would be perferred to have things for our kids to do rather be bored and get into trouble. The city has notified us of the rules. I ask of you to not call again and put your energy into real problems this neighborhood has! Shame to see you neighbors going downhill.

By Owner of ''trashy'' goal

people with too much free time

As a parent I TOTALLY relate to the owner of the basketball goal....since you have so much free time to notice things like this ...I am guessing you have also noticed that there is NO where for kids to play in this neighborhood which is problematic when it comes to activities like riding bikes and playing basketball....there are no sidewalks...and yes there is traffic...as long as the kids are respecting the traffic I dont see what the problem is here....it is their property!
Seems to me you have too much time on your hands. Are you also one of those people who complain that kids play too many video games and watch too much tv also?
just sayin!
