    House costing taxpayers too much

    I was so pleased to see Mr. Hiatt's letter in the paper. The property to which he refers is a rooming house of two individual residences on a single lot with only two onsite parking spaces.

    During the time I have lived across from this property, I have seen 100-plus more police, ambulance and fire trucks at this cesspool for any number of reasons. I can only imagine the thousands upon thousands this has cost the taxpayers.

    The music is so loud at times you cannot hear yourself think, if you are outside! I had to give up on bylaws, who admittedly witnessed it themselves. They insisted I fill out paperwork, for the third time or they could not do anything.
    One officer gave me the ‘sticks and stones’ talk and said I was just angry because I lived by a rooming house. He was right!

    I am sick and tired of seeing 24/7 drug deals, brawls, screaming matches, outdoor fires in a frying pan and much worse that you would not want to print.
    I pride myself on being respectful and friendly. Listening to these tenants will make you go deaf and blind.
