Week 13

This is my view on the way the Johnsonburg borough should take on a trouble they are enduring. Because of the not new, but uprising and serious problem of residents not taking care of their properties I think something needs to be done. A city ordinance is necessary and should be implemented by the borough. With an ordinance set in place, it would allow the borough to fine people that don’t follow certain codes and regulations that are required. For example, if people decide to let their grass grow over the allowed length and ignore the ordinance, they could be facing possible ramifications for failing to abide by the rules. That being said, Johnsonburg citizens are faced with an extremely high unemployment rate and an abnormally low average income rate. Any intelligent person would elect to follow the rules to avoid fines as people can’t afford to spend their hard earned money on an easily avoidable expense. With all that in place, I think that slowly but surely things will start to shape up within the community.
