It would appear that tonight, due to the lack of leadership over our parks, especially Be'er Sheva (the one next to our condo community)... and the lack of police oversight... the squandering of our property taxes... the misrepresentation on part of the city council to our concerns for crime in this park... all this and more has contributed to a double shooting, possibly a homicide.
Here is the email I wrote to Council Member Teresa Mosqueda, who oversees our district: [email protected]
Teresa
I'm writing to you with a desperate plea for immediate action. As an owner of a waterfront condo next to the Be'er Sheva Park, (Parkshore Villa), we are suffering from non-stop complaints from our tenants and other reports from our owner-neighbors about crime occurring in the park on a regular basis.
For the last several years, non-stop, weekly crime, noise violations, drug dealing or loitering has occurred. THIS HAS BEEN A WEEKLY OCCURENCE SINCE OUR PURCHASE OF THE CONDO UNIT. I've been patient long enough!! It is time for action.
The park must remain closed at night, after hours. There are really no other options. Tonight, it is apparent that a homicide has occurred. Two bodies have just been loaded into 2 ambulances and we believe the victims could be dead. This could have been prevented like so many other crimes in the park after dark... but there has been a complete lack of leadership on the part of the parks administration.
It is excruciating to pay taxes and receive little to no representation. I will be calling you to schedule a conversation regarding ideas and a path forward that works for both the Parkshore Villa community and our regional neighbors.
