Here is the difference in my opinion. You have an area that it's major growth happened during the housing boom a few years ago. Anyone who had a pulse could buy. 100% financing with no money down. What they were not told was that that meant in a couple of years they would go from a 900 dollar reasonable mortgage payment to 2200 dollar payment and climbing. That along with losing jobs etc. etc. etc.
So leaving these poor people with no option other than giving up their homes, we now sit as the highest or one of top 10 foreclosures. Then let's top that off and give us the reputation of being very crime ridden. Well guys a bunch of desperate people and even move vacant homes equals dramatic increase in burgluries. It's just gonna happen.
The fix is to get the homes sold and homeowners living in them again. This will take away most of the problems. Once the homes are lived in again, most of everything else will take care of itself. The local economy will thrive with people spending money and making more jobs for those that buy and want to live and work here.
Let's not stand for the media giving us a bad name for one more minute! Lehigh Acres is a great place to live and work. I have lived and worked here for more than 10 years and I look forward to another 10!
