From: Missy Luck <br />To: Ramsey Planning <br />Subject: Waterfront village letter <br />Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 12:41:23 PM <br />Hello, <br />I just received a letter from The City of Ramsey. It states there are MORE townhomes going up opposite my home. <br />I am well aware of all of the other letters that have been sent out in the last few years. A majority of these letters <br />have contradicted what was sent previously or what I have heard at town meetings. <br />Enough is enough. My family, as well as many neighbors (7 families have met and discussed from the same <br />neighborhood) are very disappointed with the City of Ramsey and the governing peoples. We feel as though we <br />have been lied to multiple times. We are being gaslit to believe we have been fully informed. <br />I realize sending an email is a small thing but our property taxes are not. They have been continuing to sky rocket at <br />a time where every penny counts to families. This neighborhood is a middle class income neighborhood and a <br />majority of the families are barely making it by. Building more and more townhomes continues to raise our cost of <br />living. The city is forcing families to leave. <br />Bunker has become a dangerous road to turn in and out of zeolite. Due to all the townhomes and construction. <br />Something needs to change. <br />I am disappointed in this city and utterly appalled at what the leaders of this city are doing. <br />The city is slowly becoming a crime ridden Blaine and it is gross and heartbreaking. My family moved here 10 years <br />ago and have loved most of it. A few neighbors and myself have always talked about never leaving because we love <br />our neighborhood. This conversation has drastically changed. For example, Elk River has been talked about in this <br />household. It's no longer, what updates to the house should we do now. <br />I do realize that I am, most likely, not fully informed. I would love more education as to why even more townhomes <br />are going up. I would invite more information as to why every time I get a letter from the city my taxes go up. When <br />I voted for the city peoples I thought I was voting for what they were saying. It feels like someone is in someone's <br />pocket and this city deserves better. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />I look forward to additional conversation, <br />
