SPAR Tries to Pass Law to Ban Non Family Members from Living Together.

well, since Strider has shown that this loophole can work, don't worry the crack addict rehab houses will be soon to follow.....

this is the point. If Striders were the only one's, this wouldn't be an issue. but hey aren't and various people/organizations are looking to do open more as we speak.....

And if we were just left alone, we would have minded our own business and this would not have been broadcast all over. Joe and I just want to do what we do, have some peace and serenity, and maybe just help someone along the way. We are not the ones who keep bringing this up.

If watching our battle has inspired others to attempt to move into Springfield, well...that is not our fault. We are going to fight for our rights and the rights of the men whom God has put in our care regardless of the consequences. And the consequences could be steep, I'm telling you this, right now. You won't like the door that we will open IF we continue to be provoked.

FSU813, how about telling us about all of these other "illegal" houses that are opening up all over and following "my lead"? We know that you and others do not like Ju'Coby Pitman's house on Boulevard, that is actually perfectly legal and acceptable per the overlay. What other ones are there? Any for sure, or are you just buying the company line? Many places have been called "special uses" by you and others, including the SPAR Council executive board, but, by actual definition, few are. You keep trying to defend these actions, yet you have yet to even attempt to explain why they lied about it. Care to try? You are not alright about us using this imagined "loop hole" as you keep trying to call it, but the lies from SPAR Council are perfectly acceptable?

Perhaps this "we must do this to save the neighborhood" thing might work for you if it wasn't my name used in the vast majority of the e-mails. If it wasn't our properties that SPAR Council's Executive Board constantly lies about. If I didn't know them as well as I do. If they were capable of following their own laws themselves.

I'm not in a position to talk about other houses. I know a few important details, but not enough to speak in-depth about them. And I doubt those that are trying to close this loop hole would want it the details broadcast.

Also, i've never used the term "special uses". I have no idea what that means.

I have no previous knowledge of "lies", etc. I'm a relatively new resident so the history doesn't mean a whole lot to me, honestly. I just know that right now, at this moment, I support the general effort to stop new boarding/rehab houses from opening and I support closing whatever loop holes there may be to circumvent existing laws that are meant to stop this.

As a resident & property owner this sounds good to me. I have nothing against anyone in the neighborhood personally, and intend on keeping it that way.

In regards to the Ju'coby Pittman mention...if it was perfectly legal, it would have happened. oh well...

fsu813 · October 13, 2009, 07:46:30 PM

It didn't go through.............or just not yet?

Perhaps it was my email to Ms. Pittman that persuaded her (ha).

And FSU813, go re-read some of your posts on the various forums....

Go Gators! lol

strider,

please elaborate on what "lies" i support.

I'm quite interested.....

JeffreyS · October 14, 2009, 08:36:18 AM

Lets see if we have some common ground here. Do we all feel that for the unrelated people the limit of no more than 5 is a good number and no more than 3 is too restrictive?

fsujax · October 14, 2009, 08:38:33 AM

Maybe SPAR should ask the RESIDENTS of Springfield what the want? It seems easy enough. I know on my block I dont think anyone actively particiaptes in SPAR.

gmpalmer · October 14, 2009, 08:44:30 AM

I think everyone in Springfield should get a shotgun with 3 rounds in it. Then police should barricade the neighborhood from MLK down past 1st and residents can just go crazy. I mean, that's what you guys want, right? To shoot each other? That's how it seems at least -- I thank God daily that I chose to move to a non-historic, non-neighborhood area of town with houses that are not in disrepair while still being old school.

jason_contentdg · October 14, 2009, 08:55:09 AM

^ Why do you think that's even remotely the case?

fsu813 · October 14, 2009, 08:58:54 AM

fsujax,

Participating (ie, showing up for SPAR, Shadco, SAMBA, meetings) is the best way to let SPAR & other neighborhood organizations know what you are and are not concerned about.

If you don't participate, then don't complain.

Kinda like voting, if you don't bother to vote....don't complain about the outcome.

fsujax · October 14, 2009, 09:15:43 AM

I am not complaining. Just would rather this be a resident issue, rather than everybody else getting involved saying what is best for Springfield. Trust me, I only want what is best for my neighborhood or else I wouldnt have invested everything I own into it.
