    "A dog park ! There isnโ€™t enough public space for dog owners to let their dogs run ..as Palm Springs becomes a year round get away vacation spot and more year round residents we need a big beautiful dog park bigger than any other so we can throw frisbees for our 4 legged kids one that shows that the city cares about the well-being of all home owners pets ! Itโ€™s time we set higher standards for our animals instead of building more buildings I know others see $ being thrown away but I see a big return as people will see the city cars about its residents and their pets ! There isnโ€™t a park anywhere on the south side of town and to think all the land on south palm canyon is being used fior condos the last night stretch of land where you can see from the base to the tip top with out anything blocking your view but soon condos will be there I think thatโ€™s a Disgusting use of land"

I saw bullet shells in the parking lot one morning. When I first moved over here five years ago, none of those things were going on. Too many people are moving in around here and their not the good kind. "
