The biggest problem I see can

be attributed to people who don't even live here. People from Coweta have

been caught bringing drugs into the subdivision. Landlords will sometimes

rent to anyone who blows in with the first month's rent without checking

them out. The association recently took one of these inept, lethargic

landlords to court, and others are being looked at for similar action.

If you buy a house in Wynnmeade, you'd best maintain your property, do

not disturb neighbors or degrade property values, or you will end up in

court.

The most recent headline in

The Citizen regarding a turf war in Wynnmeade makes it sound like our

whole subdivision is awash in gang wars, guns and knives. You really had

to dig deep in the article to find that the gun was brought into Wynnmeade

from Preston Chase subdivision by two brothers.

Funny, nothing in the headline

mentioned Preston Chase was involved in the "turf war" even

though their person was the star of the show that brought in the gun.

The police were on top of this incident and had been watching for it for

two weeks prior, and it was quickly taken care of.

I regularly walk the streets

of Wynnmeade for exercise over past 10 years due to a heart condition,

and it's churchyard quiet most all times of the day or night.

Home builders have remarked

to me that this is the first subdivision they'd built in that they weren't

robbed of tools, supplies, etc.

I regularly keep in touch with

Peachtree City Police Chief Jim Murray on neighborhood issues. Several

months back, Jim commented to me that there are many subdivisions in Peachtree

that have far higher crime rates than Wynnmeade. (I believe the number

was around a dozen at the time.)

In summary, the biggest problem

with Wynnmeade is the attitudes of people who don't live here, those that

"heard this or heard that" about our subdivision.

I'm not naive enough to think

that a letter in a newspaper is going to change anyone's mind, but I thought

it might be well to give a different perspective. It might cause someone

a moment of pause or reflection, maybe.
