TheretlSon he did this big hold up thing is because he was drunk and J am sure a alcoholic looking for someone to feel sorry for him. That did not give our fleighb()rhood " great reputation either. He wtlS right by the Iront window, they sllOuld have had" :gharp shooter just take him out and save the city some money lor all that crap he pulled. So what 1 am trying to say here is lor the housing committeeta stop letting these houses continue to go up and get rid 01 the ones that are a mesS. Most likely they were metk houses and people can not live}n them aflyway, so just take them back down as they go empty and free up land in Ramsey again. Everyone built too fast and too big and it was not really affordable for them in the first place. 1 am feeling we have to get another dog Just to keep people away Irom our house. The other night I was coming home and on dysprosium 1 had something hit my car on the side and could not figure out what happened. $0 I drove home and when [looked at my car it was hit with eggs on the passenger side of the car. So my husband and J were out at 1 :OOam trying to clean egg off of my car. So as a ta..<c payer in Ramsey and Anoka coullty [would like/or the city to start enforcing ti,e law, like the guy on 142"d across from the park and having a 100 cars parked all over the place. They are Oil the street and [ have had small children run out from beMnd them and J almost hit tl,em. fears ago I had my nieces husband staying for a short petiod of time and his semi.. truck was pl,rked out front at night at our house and the police were rigM there telling us it was lllt/galfo have it there and he had to mt)ve it even though he was only going to be there for a couple days. If the people that own tlaese homes '(m dysprosium are hamlicapped or elderl)' and Can not keep. the house up, then they need to let someone know and any church group in the area would be happy to have a group come out and help them to jl.-< it up. But I have the feeling that is not the case. J think these are meth houses and they should not be sold in thefirstplace they should be destroyed. I know most likely nothing wU/ be done in the Ghetto because I don't think Ramsey really even cares. People live in other cities and do not have to put up with all the crap we have to in this area. So the ne..-ct project they might want to look at is the condition of these houses and if metll was made in them andjust tear them down and let some of the neighborhood return to what attracts people in thefil'st place. We really did not need that olflce building on the corner (if county road 116 (industry) and Dysprosium either. J don '1 . think they have anyone in that place. What was our council members thinking when they put all these request through to have the go ahead and building all this crap in the area. That was another waste of good land lor the animals. The hOUly;ng committee needs to quit thinking about money and more about restoring Ramsey to.a place we all once were proud to call our neighbor/toad. Now I don't even dare go out at nlglat not knowing who might be around the corner. My family is from St Paul and 1 believe it is .faler there tllan it Is In Ramsey right now. An,d those of u.fJ that want to leave can't beClluse (Ill the ghetto houses brought the housing prices down in our area $0 low we would have to pay someone to buy our home. . . .
