I live here in Northwood with my young children and what a beautiful place it has become. It is clean and well maintained, the staff is helpfull and kind. The only problem as with everything in life is with a few undisirables spoiling things for the whole group. These young men, and thats being generous, spend their nights prowling our parking lots. Residents are bothered by loud music, foul language, and a constant flow of traffic that pulls up to the group and then leave within a few moments. With these hoodlums has come cars broken into, smashed windows in our cars, and vandalism to the property. We have always had a curfew here, it has just been moved up an hour. The management doesn't bother people who step out their doors to smoke and are not bothering anyone else. Many of us do the same thing and are met with a kind wave of hand. They do however have a problem with those who are wondering in these groups and causing problems.

I have a problem with the fact that only two people out of our entire complex were interviewed for this story. If Mr. Weston would have done his research he would have found that they were in the minority. The other residents are glad we live in a place that tries to keep us safe and our property safe. As a mother trying to raise responsible children I would never alow my child to linger around in parking lots at all hours of the night. It is obvious that they are ingaged in delinquent behavior and their parents are only incouraging it.

The management should continue to inforce this rule to keep all the residents safe. Installing cameras in the parking lots to monitore for illegal activity would also be a bonus to curb this situation. The visibility of the Saint Joseph Police Department would also be helpfull.

So way to go Northwood for keeping me and my family safe.
