Please, please help us spare our neighborhood and the rest of Royal Oak from possible crimes that will come with this facility. I moved to this city four years ago and fell in love with it. The people are very nice, the neighborhood is so peaceful that anyone can walk even in the wee hours. We even sleep in summers with windows open, our kids walking in the streets. The people here are confident that they are safe in the night. Please help us spread out that we, the people of Royal Oak, do not want this facility in our own back yard. Our city has suffered from economic recession and has since reduced police staffing but if we have this in our own back yard, there is no way the people can feel safe anymore. Please help us get the message to the people out there, especially the Royal Oak City Commission that this is not acceptable. Lydia Fano Parnos Royal Oak - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
