Folks, listen up. I've got some serious stuff to share with you. I have walked from Olive Road to Fairfield and from N. Davis Highway to 12th Ave., knocking on doors. What I am seeing is pretty darn scary. I have seen empty houses, houses in foreclosure, a lot of new residents moving in to certain neighborhoods as a result of foreclosure sales (this is what I suspect).
On E. Burgess Rd., just around the corner from where I live, a house sold for $48,000. Another house on the same block sold for $65,000 (it just sold four years ago for $139,000). Property values in some neighborhoods have plummeted. People tell me they want to sell their homes, but they are know they can't get the price they need. I wouldn't think of selling my house right now.
It is imperative that we have someone on City Council who can work with the Chamber of Commerce, the executive mayor and the City's Community Development Department to start promoting Uptown Pensacola as the most desirable place to live in Escambia County. BECAUSE IT IS!! YOU KNOW WHO THE PERSON IS WHO HAS THE VISION AND KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!! IT IS ME, OF COURSE! We need to get me on that council come hell or high water.
