The resident, who has lived in the area their entire life, highlighted the history of the neighborhood, including the presence of the Hans family, who have been tenants in a nearby rental property for approximately 30 years.

The resident expressed a commitment to maintaining the integrity of the land, which has undergone significant environmental recovery following the removal of toxic waste from a nearby Westinghouse site. They noted the return of wildlife, including bald eagles, as a positive sign of the area's rejuvenation. The resident also mentioned recent efforts to clean up inherited property, which included the removal of old vehicles and tires, in line with their goal of restoring the land to its natural state.
