I have lived in this suburb for nearly 23 years now. When I first moved here it was lovely, with a gentle atmosphere that was full of charm. As the waves (and I do mean waves) of crime and grime hit, so did the suburb change and living sometimes felt like an obstacle course. Not only is this suburb safer and cleaner now, there is a greater sense of community too, of which this Google group is ample testimony.

And then objects to the measures taken to make it a safe suburb. With society also rapidly changing in 25 years, it cannot be the same suburbs as 25 years ago. I find this intriguing.” Take care, David David Raphael 072 065 7223 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reinmar Sent: 17 October 2011 16:20 To: The Observatory Neighbourhood watch Subject: [obsnw] Re: Intriguing by line on the cover of Big Issue In response to subsequent posts I would just like to clarify the following in my personal capacity, whilst not trying to win, lose, praise, complain about any party / person involved, or not to waffle to much – so if you consider this as waffling – then please do not read further. I did not know, and neither did anybody inform me, up until today that Ms Shultz has been living in Obs for 25 years, which actually intrigues me. A person stays in one suburb for 25 years and see the change happening from good and safe suburb, to bad, ugly and violent suburb, and then slowly back to good and safe suburb. And then objects to the measures taken to make it a safe suburb. With society also rapidly changing in 25 years, it cannot be the same suburbs as 25 years ago. I find this intriguing. I completely object to bad treatment of homeless in Obz and anywhere in the world. And if there were any “disgusting” treatment, I’m sure that investigations by both ObsID and VS will bring to light these situations and deal with them properly. I however remain positive about Kenneth’s interactions with the homeless and with the success he’s had, with they’re consent and approval. I’m completely at ease with the small amount of people controlling a huge amount of money – our money, as they are doing a brilliant job controlling it and using it to the advantage the suburb. Since my previous post, I have gone out and gotten my own copy of the Big Issue, and have read the article in colour, and I still find it as previously stated in my personal opinion. I agree, let the greater public be the judge – but in the end it’s OUR suburb that gets that bad rap and affects everyone that’s living in it - Each single individual person. But sorry – I’m waffling about the greater good and all the nonsense – I shall stop and do some decent old grafting.
