• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to The legacy Retirement group dot com phone. Lines good
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: evening to, You.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: JAMIE i think at the core people that work at
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: these stores are good, people but the corporate. MENTALITY i
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: thought it was Just kroger until, recently Admire My. MEYER
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: i had a girl that wasn't even a cop that
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: stopped me for had to checked my receipt and she
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: s physically stopped the cart from. LEAVING i, Said i'm.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Leaving you can chase me. Down she, says, NO i
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: can't let you, leave and finally got a manager. Involved
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: we've got a very nice letter From meyer after the.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Fact but these people need better training and the mentality is.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Bizarre the other problem is that they got cameras over

  Speaker 3: all the self, checks and it even looks like you
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: didn't scan your. Item they got to call somebody over
• 7:48

• 10:03
  Speaker 1: immediately and as, always is now what you're gonna do with?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It that is a legitimate, question especially as we what
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Did allison just say we have a lack of? Housing
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: how many boarded up houses does the city Of columbus.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Have now they take possession of these homes and then
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: they sit and they do. Nothing boards over the, windows
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: big orange sticker on the door that says homeless people
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: please bust through the. Wood live in the basement and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: steal the. Copper that's not helping the, city is. It
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: city Of Columbus Land. Bank Franklin county also has a land.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Bank these seized, properties whether through criminal acts or delinquent
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: taxes or, whatever where your government seizes these homes and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: then they, sit they become a, blight and The columbus
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: considers them boarded, Up so that's it's not a light
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: as long as it's. Boarded what ridiculousness is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: This IF i drive through a neighborhood and there's more
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: than one building or one house that's boarded, Up i'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: driving right out of there because something's.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Wrong, well, yes that's the FEELING i. Get, NO i absolutely.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Agree it's you know the on the Was It Blue
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: bloods where they were talking ABOUT i think it actually.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Existed they were referencing a real policy in The city
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Of New york called broken, windows and the idea was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that when you allow the properties to, decline to, dilapidate
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to sit around with broken windows looking, bad looking, nasty
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: what you are doing basically, saying, hey bad, guys we
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: do not give a damn move. On in nobody in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this city or in this community in this neighborhood or
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: on this street cares about. Anything so please move on.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: In bring in your drug, operations bring in your, prostitution
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: bring it all, in because, look look at this. Block
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we don't. Care and that essentially is what boarded up
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: buildings with orange stickers on the front say to, me
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we don't. Care and, overall my Beloved West, side especially
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in THE, uh the The Highland west Slash hilltop proper,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: community there's some beautiful. Homes the, Architecture i'll be, frankly
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you go Through Old, clintonville the homes that you see
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: In Old clintonville very much reflected in the homes that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you see in The hilltop. Area the difference is the.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: People the difference is the treatment that the community gets
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: from City hall In. Clintonville when they're you, know cutting their,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: grass planting flowers and sweeping up in front of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: house on The. Hilltop you, know they're they're parking the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: jeep on the front yard and they're they're you, know
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: throwing their their pop parties that go until three, am
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: keeping the whole neighborhood awake AND uh and there's beer
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: cans on the street in front of the. House that's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the difference same damn, house same size lot building the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: same year in the same. City one will go on
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the market for four hundred and seventy five thousand, dollars
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the other seventy thousand dollars on a good. Day it's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the people that Make, now why do you have those
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: type of people? There be cause you got a bunch
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of board at up houses with orange stickers on the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: front of. Them i'm not necessarily enthused each TIME i
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: see one of these stories about the city closing down
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: another drug, property where's the follow? Up what are they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: doing with those properties once they have? Them why are
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we not putting families into those? Homes why does the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: city not use those? Properties and, Say, okay here's the.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Deal we're gonna do a lottery open to owner occupant
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: purchasers only you get in to say it's one hundred
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: bucks to get, in and they can donate that money
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to the Midd Ohio Food collective or. Something hundred. Bucks
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: get into the, lottery you must be an owner, Occupant
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you must bring the property up to code within one
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: year of, purchase and you must use it as your
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: primary residence for not less than thirty six or forty eight.

• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood and they, say oh my, GOSH i got a.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: HOUSE i finally got a. House and they plant the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: flowers and they cut the grass and they sweep up
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: out front and the next thing you, know the hilltop
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: becomes Like clintonville because instead of boarded up houses with
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: orange stickers on the, front you brought neighbors to a.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Neighborhood
