Scary place to live…..the last couple of years have completely transformed our wonderful Kalamazoo in to a place that one is fearful of even walking down the mall. And yet, look at the millions that people have made off from illegal home sales……only enabling these people to continue to allege homeless, welfare. Even though the Mission has added a wonderful place for them to stay, they continue the path that the City and County have provided for them. Why work?
