Dear Mayor Sidhu,
City Manager, Planning Director and Council Members:
Group homes are becoming a problem for communities. I own a home
right next door to this project ,
Grandma's House of Hope, and their intention is to set up a
transitional home in the Westmont Colony and with so many homes
already in this neighborhood why? We still do not understand why this
area is such a big attraction in this residential area
An obvious question, how is the community protected for those that go off
medication and leave the confines of the property? Those with
Schizophrenia are unpredictable, with times of hallucinations. You probably
already know this. I for one would never live next to this property in fear for
my family.
What is problematic for me is that the state has the audacity to reprimand the
city of Anaheim when Anaheim has done so much for the homeless and low-
income family. Aren't you building a learning and training center on the old
Carl Karcher property at Harbor Blvd.? I think I read this is for teens with
criminal tendencies, in an attempt to turn them around.
Do not let the state dictate to you or other cities what is wrong. Change the
ordinances and the laws. The residents of Anaheim depend on city officials
to protect communities.
Stop the madness now. Fight the state!
Respectfully,
Kokrai (Ken) M Ratanjee
