Re: Video: 'Bubble' home upsets neighbors

[Guest guest]

thats sad that they would denie her health needs that way. whats the

difference between this and building a garage or storage shed? thats

kind of like the city hurrassing about house and yard upkeep when

theri's many more around in much worse shape. all it takes is one

neighbor complaining and they usually don't have a clue or care what

the circumstances are.

I am so glad you found this!! This was what I asked on here last week

if anyone heard about. It was on the news. It is a very sad story.

It is not very neighborly how horrible her neighbors and the township

are treating her. Just sad! It appears they would rather the woman

to suffer and die than to let her live in peace in her safe home!

The neighbors don't like the implication that living in their neighborhood

might make people sick, thats what the problem is.

I call them " busy bodies " some people have nothing better to do than

look for something to complain about. if a neighbor told me they needed

a building built for health reasons I'd be over there helping them. ---

I saw the safe house on TV last week and I saw nothing that looked bad

about it. It seemed to blend in with the other houses...People just

want to have something to complain and hurt others over..they need to

remember that what goes around comes around!
