[@RancidDragonProductions]

​@@copperpenny0209the best part about property taxes are that they go to nothing that isn't already paid for by other taxes, and you continue to pay them after you own the property. Every other item in your life stops charging taxes after you own it except that. The property taxes are SUPPOSED to pay to upkeep city sewers, pay for emergency services, and schools. Then they tacked on the "general projects" title to it. So, city sewers are all horribly unkempt and in disrepair all over the country. Most of them are the original structures that were placed when we first made the system. Emergency workers are all paid out of the gas tax as well as federal income taxes. Schools are paid from property taxes and federal education budgets that come from the income tax. The best part of that is thy you get to pay for schools even if you have no children. The general projects taxes pay for VERY IMPORTANT things, like (here in Tennessee) the Nashville Sounds semi pro baseball team, the Tennessee Titans (14k per day to clean the arena, in addition to paying part of the ticket costs, player pay, and arena upkeep), and the Nashville Predators. We don't get tickets to games or jerseys, but we pay for them. This is why all government funds need to be audited and refigured. Neighborhoods like these need to be cleaned up by the city. Cops get paid to keep places safe. If this area is "dangerous", then th le cops in that area need to stop getting a paycheck. They're supposed to live in the areas they're employed in to being with.

Now that they know the problem the overgrowth can cause, since they obviously take care of their own lawns, they can do a little extra and one or more of them can make certain that area along the sidewalk does not get that way again.

I go for walks and the grass was taller than me and it was not safe to walk on the road. So I went to the council, then sent an email to my division councillor. No reply so I emailed the local news station and they came out and interviewed me. The day after it was on the tv they came out and mowed.

@@judyboast4020 here in the US if there's a lawn on city property in front of your house you mowe it, the city doesn't go around cutting all the lawns between the sidewalks and your house. If the "community" was so disgusted by it why didn't they come up with a solution so the kids could walk freely on the sidewalk, they obviously are just a community of complainers amongst themselves. That's why we have people like AL, no complaining just do it.

Glad to see you getting back out there we missed you ❤

[@travellinmark2745]

Wow, Al. Of all the many great makeovers you have done, this one is special. How much safer have you made this neighborhood. I can't imagine the little kids having to walk in the street and you may have helped turn the neighborhood's prospects around.

[@debbiewedoe2564]

Thank you for having such a kind heart. And good job to Trey for watching over you too. 🌞

The world need more good people like you. keep up the good work.

[@sandsand07]

Hey❤ Good to see you. I know the neighbor going to appreciate this . You made it much easy for the kids and safe . They don’t have to worry about getting hit by a car or anything else. Thank again for helping those that need help. God bless you and keep you safe and out of harm’s way

[@kellywilkins8043]

That was a big transformation! They should give you a “ Key to the Community “ award!! Thanks Al! Glad to see you laughing!

[@erinmiller8387]

Thank you for doing this. It looks safe & beautiful. The city needs to put on their big kid pants & help out way more.❤

I would have loved to see the kids faces when they got off the school bus. They must have thought something magical happened. 😊❤❤

[@vickiemorris6849]

Thank you, Trey for being Al's guardian angel, and Lacey for feeding these gents! WAs that an empty lot or vacant house? Either way, wonderful that you cut it down to size so the community can use the WHOLE walkway and feel safe!

Well the township should know that neglecting to take care of areas like this is one way they help to create a “bad neighborhood”, so shame on them, and kudos to you for stepping up to the plate.

@@MLFortes426 oh yeah blame the establishment, the white man, blah blah blah. It couldn't possibly be bad chooses, unfounded victimhood, no interest in education, fast money with little effort mentality and voluntary segregation could it?

It was so satisfying to see the sidewalk cleared and available for the safety of the neighborhood. When the lady said “in the black areas the city does not come through” it made me sad and mad at the same time !! Now, thanks to your hard work and dedication the kids now have a safe place to ride their bikes. The community looks a lot better and everyone can enjoy walking safely. Thank you for all the great work you do!!! Blessings !!!
