What is the biggest issue currently facing your town?

We import court cases from several counties around us for money then just release them out on our streets so their families come here, tent city is growing larger, and low income housing is going up everywhere (funny, that's some of the other people I mentioned I work to provide while I don't have somewhere nice to live.) It's a relatively small town and the Police respond to an average of 7 heroin overdoses per 12 hour shift.

Our township decided to stop funding the local library.

I saw your profile and I think we are in the same area based on your response. The library is such a treasure.

The neighboring township purchased a preserved farm in our township for the purpose of spreading their Class B biosolids from their municipal sewerage plant. There are a lot of angry folks, especially since the township isn’t doing it within their own town limits.

A bunch of wackadoodles trying to ban books.

Gun violence. Someone is shot just about every day in my city.

Just one? Gun violence is out of control here.
Wow, some of you live in some sleepy little communities! In addition to shootings, we're also dealing with carjackings, catalytic converter thefts, porch pirates, a ton of homelessness, and insanely skyrocketing rent.

Crime has been growing quickly here. Stabbing a are almost daily at this point. A few weeks ago, a newcomer from Ukraine was stabbed while downtown

The exploding cost of living, a street population that is un-housable (we have surplus shelter space), labour shortages, drug use and an insane new city council that has inexplicably lost the plot on what municipal governments are supposed to govern.

Crooked politicians. The FBI investigated our situation and 9 political hacks have either gone to prison or will soon.

Youth violence. We have large crowds of teens descending on the downtown area in the wee hours of the morning, and trouble comes with them. There are shootings, car accidents due to street racing, widespread vandalism, and even a few instances where groups of them have gotten into highrise apartment buildings and started kicking in residents' doors.

Small Midwest town. Widening a two-lane road to four. Lack of transparency WRT public meetings. I’m blessed.

Same as always, coyotes. But E bikes are gaining steam
