As a Bayou Oaks resident, I've seen these plans three times now. We, as a neighborhood, are not opposed to affordable housing. We are, however, opposed to a site plan of trailers that are placed ten feet apart from each other - 31 of them on about five acres. Although Mayor Atkins felt it necessary to tell us that we "can't be Laurel Park because poor people have to go somewhere," we are hardly an elite enclave up here. We'd just like a fighting chance and a little support with cleaning up our neighborhood.
