<br />Please Share Your Comment., Question or Concern: I have been a resident of Roseville since
<br />1,996 where I have purchased my condo, and I are wholly opposed to the prospect of putting, a
<br />pawn shop next to Erik's, bike shop on Skillman Avenue. Pawn s,hops, are notoriously associated
<br />with theft . crime, and robbery, and if one were placed in Roseville, it would be an
<br />invitaion to danger, especially considering this is a city with many families, with young
<br />Children . I myself would not want to walk/bike around the neighborhood near the props,ed site,
<br />and I wouldn't want young children to go out either. Additionally, this particular location
<br />is so Close to the res,idental neighborhood-- right acros,s, the street from hous,es, where I know
<br />many young children live. (I used to live on Skillman Avenue for many years, before I bought
<br />my condo off the Snelling Service road)
<br />Pawn s,hops, also significantly decrease the value of a city, and they attract low income
<br />buyers,. Since I purchased my condo, it has dropped in value by $25,000, and we have also
<br />noticed an increase in criminal behavior. (car break ins,, etc- including my own) If a pawn
<br />shop was, placed in the area, this type of seedy behavior will only increas,e. My fiance who
<br />lives, with me, Josh, grew up in Brooklyn Center and he recalls, when a pawn shop was, opened up
<br />over there, it attracted criminals, from North Minneapolis, and petty crime overall increased
<br />throughout the neighborhood. Roseville must consider other options, for developing this site,
<br />not simply filling space to fill s,pace.
<br />Pawn s,hops, are catered towards, low income buyers, and neighborhoods,. Roseville is NOT a low
<br />income neighborhood-- it is a family oriented, safe suburb, and that is why I Chose to live
<br />here and not in the city. If we want Roseville to remain this way, then the proposition for
<br />placing the pawn shop on Skillman Avenue should be rejected.
