I am writing to literally beg that you put a stop to this madness. Look around our beautiful city…it’s ruining it! I
own rental property in Baxter Meadows which is my retirement plan and I have an apartment that looks out at the
lines of campers and trash and drug addicts exposing themselves to cars driving by, which has been vacant since mid
June. The tenant moved out because she feared for her 11 year old daughter’s safety. Several showings have
resulted in comments like, “wow, I didn’t know this apartment was so close to these campers.” Please, do
something! This is not fair to the hardworking citizens of our city. Many of these folks living in these campers are
totally taking advantage of the system. They are drug addicts and thieves. They need help but not handouts!
Enabling their behavior is not the answer. It is destroying our community! My tenants have had bicycles stolen,
motorcycles, had their cars broken into it. It is out of control. Something must be done or our city will never be the
same.
Sincerely,
Tammy Taylor
