You know, when I first saw this site I thought "Awesome! A way to communicate with my city officials in a public forum to get things done efficiently." But what I am seeing MORE of is neighbors tattling on neighbors instead of having the GUTS to knock on a door and just see if someone needs a little help. Am I doing this in response to someone tattling on me? No. I have GOOD neighbors that I actually TALK TO and we WORK things out. Sure would be nice if we left the city alone to do their JOBS when a real problem happens and WE deal with each others idiosyncrasies like NEIGHBORS instead of "issues." If no one is about to die, then we should be adult enough to take care of our own neighborhoods the way a helpful concerned COMMUNITY should. NOT running to the "nanny state" if someone leaves a TV on the curb or parks a car on their property too long. That level of petty government interference is why I LEFT East Lansing. I don't know if this is an "improper use" of SCF but I really am tired of the really ridiculous stuff I'm seeing in here. If you see something DO something. TALK to you neighbors. PICK UP TRASH if you see it. ASK your neighbors if they need help if things seem "out of control." People are struggling a lot now. More than ever in a few generations. Budgets are stretched far enough in this town. Time for The People to start taking care of each other instead of complaining to the city to do it for us each and every time. Peace. PS Nothing is wrong in the cemetery but I had to pick a spot for the pin to send anything. Thanks.
