Losing The American Neighborhood
In the last 2.5 years I have seen a growing trend destroying the typical American Neighborhood. I live in an area / cul-de-sac of 49 homes. In the last 2.5 years, 6 of the homes now have sold to multi-families. These houses are not equipped to hold up to 15 people. Each of the 6 homes immediately removed all landscaping features and parked several vehicles throughout the community. All have violated several HOA bi-laws and continue to ignore many complaints; Speeding cars, Loud Noise, and a general disrespect for all fellow neighbors as well as what seems to be a deliberate attempt to lower property value. This is by no means a rich or snobby area of Leesburg, just a once proud community where neighbors greeted each other with a smile and a wave.
All attempts to make welcome the new families have failed, many due to the language barrier and other failures attributive to the constant rotation of the persons actually living in the households. The financial institutes continue to provide loans to multi families and the realtors continue to sell single-family homes to multi families. The HOA can only enforce the bi-laws in the doctrine (Thank God). The Police will not ticket any noise complaints and only direct homeowners to file complaints with the local magistrates office. The local magistrates office tells us that we need evidence from the Police department. In the last 8 months the Police have been called 9 times with the Officer witnessing loud noise 3 times and not ticketing. The Police can only enforce the Noise Ordnance not the HOA, but the Police must catch them in the act, as well with the speeding cars. I urge all concerned Proud Americans to stand up and protect your neighborhood, as I will continue the fight in mine.
