I was involved in this project, we had many many neigborhood meetings. Only a handful of people ever show up. Dave the owner approached us and he didn't have to and presented his plans. At the time he wanted tenants, the condo's were top of the line, not for drug addicts. We have drug dealers and drug addicts on every street in New Haven. If you never had a family memeber addicted don't judge people who have a weakness. Dave keeps his sober house's spotless and there is no hanging around. why not question all the druggies on 688 quinnipiac. He has tried to sell those condo's for quite a while, no bites, poor parking and no storage.
He also owns the sober house on quinnipiac ave next to the shell gas station, spotless and beautiful. and another one on Townsend Ave,, also spotless. Lets not focus on people who are trying to help themselves and focus on how to make our neighborhood kid friendly and safe.
For the last 20 years there have been neighborhood mangement meetings with the police, they are for our area at Ross Woodward School every first Tues of the month. The police and other city agencies are there, 10 people come, I stopped because I know who to call and do my own resource
projects.
