[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not live in Green Valley but our 2nd grader attends Drew. Since it seems like a lot of the “activity” happens at night, this has not made an impact on our child’s education or the experience we’ve encountered at Drew thus far. In fact, our family is very happy we opted in there. [/quote]

But your child’s classmates do live there. And they do witness the violence and they are used to it. And what happens when some of these kids ask your child over for play dates, on the weekends, to the park and the playground at the school is where they decide to go play. and some losers decide to meet up there to conduct “business” [/quote]

You obviously do not live in Green Valley. I do. And while I wish that the County and Civic Association would remedy all of these issues—so obnoxious and ridiculous and beyond what should be tolerated—the reality is that these issues and incidents are limited to the immediate proximity of the Shelton. Like if you are not out there on the sidewalk next to The Shelton looking for this trouble, it will not find you.

Again—not that it makes it ok or excusable in any way, but, it is a very narrow and defined issue/area. And the County and Civic Association should feel the weight of responsibility in expeditiously addressing it. [/quote]

Again what you are ignoring and not understanding - The violence in recent months has happened in that location. But you are acting as if the criminals know exactly where to commit crimes and understand the boundary and will know exactly to stay right in front of the building. [/quote]
