It's painting with a broad and indiscriminate brush. Besides, all those street sweepers and service vehicles that work for city residents have to sleep somewhere at night. I could complain about the noise of the low-flying helicopters and the ambulances that pass through Bloomingdale, too, but I like living near the hospital complex and know that there are people inside those vehicles who are getting help. And I like having students from Howard and other universities living in the neighborhood, even though they can be noisy sometimes, too. I'd rather figure out how to reduce the amount of beer bottles, fast food containers and the other trash that litters our neighborhood than worry about a well-maintained city or utility facility.Unit block of Bryantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-33846712591762670082010-08-31T15:56:08.006-04:002010-08-31T15:56:08.006-04:00"I live in a city but I don't want to dea..."I live in a city but I don't want to deal with life in a city.

I have gotten some complaints about the noise and DPW has worked with us on resolving some of them but not all. It is after all an industrial/commercial zoned space that the city has finally rehabbed and it's a lot better than a vacant space that brings even more issues. With this DPW and WASA's rehabbing of the Water Works building next door, it's a great improvement. There are people in that space providing services to the entire city including this area. People present will help to reduce crime and such.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.TheCommisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712967845031648192noreply@blogger.com
