Hello all. Looks like I finally found a use for my blog, or at least something worthy of posting anyway.
I live in a small mobile home park in Daniel Boone Village in Hillsborough NC, and this development company wants to plow it all down. Small businesses, mobile homes, everything. They want to build a strip mall, town homes, and condominiums here.
Why? There's an almost completely empty strip mall across the street. Condo's and town homes too. Why do they want to destroy people's homes to build some more when they can't fill what they have?
We have so much construction going on here already. Why plow down about 30 or so people's homes when you don't need too? What are you going to build.. more empty buildings? To what purpose?
People should always come first.. even the poor ones. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I believed them when they told me in school that my government was by the people and for the people. Don't remember it specifying rich business people only. Has it been rewritten and no one told me? They really should inform us of these little changes don't ya think?
Anyway, there is hope that at least they will know we are here. We have banded together and will let anyone who'll listen know that this isn't right.
