Your response: My Community is concerned with keeping our green spaces and waterways clean and open to the public. Lake Crabtree and Umstead Park are in danger of being destroyed by major environmentally detrimental businesses. Private schools and charter schools are taking resources from our public schools. Additionally, many new high-tech companies are moving into the area (Apple, Amazon) forcing housing prices to jump up by leaps and bounds. Our neighborhood is very diverse in terms of race, age, politics, jobs, and income. Voting rights and voting integrity are important. This makes good, non-partisan maps important so all voices can be heard.
