The Rising Costs We're All Feeling

The Rising Costs We're All Feeling
Flat -Uno

Hey neighbors,

You’ve probably felt it — the cost of living in our community is on the rise, and it's hitting both homeowners and renters hard.

💸 What’s Causing It?

  • Homeowners are seeing increased property taxes, maintenance costs, and insurance premiums.

Car Insurance is Spiking in Our ZIP Code

Due to a rise in car thefts and accidents, our area is now flagged by insurers as high-risk. This means:

  • Higher car insurance premiums for everyone, even those with clean records.
  • More claims, more payouts, and less incentive for companies to offer competitive rates locally.

What Can We Do to See a Change?

We can’t solve everything overnight, but we can take action together to start improving our neighborhood:

Increase Safety:

  • Report suspicious activity — no matter how small it seems.
  • Start or join a Neighborhood Watch or community patrol group.
  • Advocate for traffic calming measures, and visible police presence.

Get Civically Engaged:

  • Attend city council meetings or town halls — your voice matters!
  • Reach out to local leaders about how crime and costs are affecting our area.
  • Push for legislation or initiatives that address auto theft, reckless driving, and community development.

Build a Stronger Community:

  • Organize or participate in community clean-up days – a safer, cleaner neighborhood is less appealing to criminals.
  • Support or volunteer at local youth programs to provide positive alternatives.
  • Create a community group chat or forum to stay informed and connected.
