Crime is moving in!

Back in September, I had a discussion on a Bingo Hall that was about to be built next to us. It is out here in the country, on a two lane road, in a very dangerous area. It is between two curves. The one coming up the hill is at the edge of our property and we've had numerous wrecks over the years. A man also left the road and hit two of our trees and died on the spot. So, it's not a place where a Bingo Hall should be built. But moreso, we do NOT want it here! Our privacy is already gone when they did away with all the trees on that property. And, to make it worse, part of the acreage joins ua on the back of our house, too! It's a double-edged sword. Well, the construction company had left it back in October without finishing the job. And we thought that it was gone forever. We had heard some of the backers were out and they were having problems getting a building permit. Well, yesterday morning, I went to leave my garage and saw all this machinery and men out there. They are back out there, and have got the footing ready to be poured and laying water lines. In our state, gambling is illegal. Although they call this Charity Bingo, it is nothing but gambling with electronic casino machines! The Governor, Attorney General, and others have tried to get it stopped in our State. But some counties keep putting it in, over and over! They've closed down numerous ones because of their failure to build the buildings correctly - no sprinklers, etc. The way they cleaned off the property has given us a headache! When it rains lots, we have a mudhole in our front and side yards. It's just a matter of time until it floods our back yard with mud running off the two piles of red dirt that is right over the property line which is very close to our house. And, it seems the construction company is not going to put up the screens that would have eliminated this, had they done it before they started. I dread the day the building is finished and people are there 24 hours a day, 6 days a week! There will be trash in our yards, people pulling in our driveway, thinking the are going into there, people parking on our yard when there is overflow, and neon lights blinking constantly! We will have absolutely no privacy. AND I already feel like the privacy is gone because I don't feel like getting out there doing any work while those men are over there. Imagine what it will be like with hundreds of people over there daily!! It saddens me that our world has come to this - that money means more to some that letting people live their life in peace! There is absolutely no reason for this to be built out here in the country. They have plenty of these down a long 4 lane stretch in that same county. Our county would not allow it, but we are bearing the brunt of the mess because we are right on the county line!
