Introduction: Wayne gregory, live in bayovista with my wife and daughter, our dog Olive and a couple of gophers that I can’t seem to get rid of… oh… did I mention the 10 thousands ants that are sometimes uninvited house guests? Very few statements one can make and have such unanimous agreement as, no one likes crime. We’re all here taking our valuable time to talk about how to reduce crime… I would guess that not even criminals like crime… it’s more a matter of employment. Crime diminishes our sense of security and community Getting back to Crime… now one likes it… not even criminals… for them it’s more of a job than a passion. But crime has a huge impact on us, our sense of security, sense of pride for our community and has a corrosive impact on our property values… Anyone here pleased with their falling home values? (just making sure that I’m in the right room). No one is interested in buying a home, plunking down 20% of half a 3, 4 or 5 hunderd thousand dollar home to find out the next year that their 20% equity stake is not 15% or less. Trouble is as home owners we have little power in turning that equation around. Our home values are a function of lots of things that are out of our control… city programs, national trends, job creation, proximity to good jobs. City government has a big responsibility to bring in businesses that can help support a life style that will But as we discuss solutions or strategies to combat crime I’m more interested in those strategies that bring us together as a community. Strategies like Neighborhood Watch that encourage communications among neighbors because it’s that public chatter that help make our communities more cohesive and friendly… because people get to know each other. The program I’ve created has a powerful component for that kind of interaction… so let’s get started.
Ask if there are any criminals in the audience? Ask if anyone has had a criminal thought recently? Ask if someone has recently Jwalked? Finally, tell them that Jill will answer the questions.
They Get Big! We need to get BIG just like this peacock. We need to have eye working all over our community.
