Liberty Park is a small residential community outside Hinesville city limit. The Liberty park community is in a closer view of 15th West Street. The community has a bigger population of residence consisting of both civilian and military affiliated individuals. I have been a residence of Liberty Park community for the past two years.

The reason being that the community lacks basic amenities, safety and security, and surrounding drainage ponds are unkempt. In my opinion, the liberty park community home owners association must prioritize and implement reforms that are …show more content…

The roads in the community don’t have any speed limits signs. This is surprising because right outside the community, the state roads have proper and clearly marked speed limits. Unmarked speed limit poses danger to the residence, especially our children. Most drivers passing drive at extremely high speeds because there are no speed signs and police rarely come to the community. Parents are forced to lock their children in the house and limit their outside play time to only when one is in supervision. Road drainage is poor in the area especially when there are floods. The floods that occur during rainy seasons cause walking tracks to be completely submerged due to lack of drainage. While riding on the streets, one has to wade through stagnant water in the middle of the road hoping your car makes it through. My other concern is the small swimming pool that we all have to share. The community has hundreds of people with one very small swimming pool whose access is not guaranteed. It has reached a point where the pool operates on first come first serve basis. The whole summer my children hardly got the privilege of swimming in the pool because either the pool was overcrowded or the association changes combination locks without informing residents. Lack of enough swimming pools and high speeders, caused the parents to take their children to other recreational

Public housing developments look isolated from the rest of the city due to signs of deterioration like deserted properties, empty lots, abandoned commercial strips, and vacant factories. This unfortunate condition goes against the drive for self-sufficiency and empowerment among the poor, mainly in developments of public housing (Chandler,

Regulations have been put into place by the government to keep postponing and forcing people to move out of the community. The regulations set by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) are the ones that must be met for them to stay, which are nearly impossible to meet because this is not a wealthy area that can afford to spend money. The average income of this community is said to be at average $700 per month (Savali 2016). The commissioner of Dallas John Wiley Price said that the reason why they haven’t been able to fix things is because it would cost the city “$6.8 million for flood protection, $4.2 million for water/sewer service, with an estimated
