My Tax bill says University Heights and I live on Hamilton Street above Meade. I am a part of University Heights and do not feel it is right for a select group of neighbors to try and kick me out of my own neighborhood. I pay taxes to benefit University Heights and am signing the petition to stay a part of University Heights.

Actually... My tax bill says North Park and I would prefer to keep it that way. There is a distinguishable difference between east and west of Texas street and there is no benefit to residents in 'north' North Park to be moved to University Heights. We have a different zip code for crying out loud! My property value will absolutely go down if I am no longer in North Park!! Don't push your agenda on people it won't benefit!

Bought my home last summer (2013) three blocks east of Texas and received my deed stating University Heights. My zip code is 92116, the same zip code as when I was renting next to Trolley Park. I am perfectly okay with that and want to keep it that way. It did seem odd when I notice the UH signs west of Texas. I am also looking to learn more about this issue.

I own a condominium on Kansas near Meade--have since 1997. Yes, my deed says University Heights. It is the only thing that has ever made me feel a part of that neighborhood. When people ask me where I live, I generally answer "I don't know. North Park is south of me, Normal Heights is north of me, and my deed says University Heights, but it's *certainly* not University Heights, because that starts west of Texas." I feel much closer to North Park than anyplace else, and I pay into the North Park Municipal Assessment District, so in a very real sense I am a part of North Park. I will not be signing this petition.

I've always known that my deed is registered as University Heights and some of my neighbors (renters) had no idea that this is the case. Something about the zip code. Could someone let me know who is available to speak by phone/email and give me more info as to why this is happening? I've owned my house here now for 16 years and always wondered about this situation. I do a newsletter for University City (of all things!), but they divide themselves into east/west UC, I believe. Thanks!

I don't want my property value to go down and I don't want our neighborhood to be shunned for no good reason. We deserve to be a part of University Heights and not be left in limbo without access to neighborhood improvements.

We live in the R@NP Lane Homes near 30th St & Meade Ave. I just checked our deed and tax bill. This development community was built around 2006. Both deed & tax bill say RENAISSANCE AT NORTH PARK subdivision with no mention of University Heights. But our address is fully within the UH map.

All of us are part of North Park because we all belong to the Greater North Park Community Plan. When I say all of us I mean: South Park, Burlingame, North Park and University Heights. We are separate communities under a Community Plan that over sees each of our neighborhoods. The borders of University Heights,established in 1888, should not be changed because an elitist group west of Texas St thinks all the residents on the east side of Texas St are riff raff. The group that wants residents east of Texas St kicked out of UH believe we have too many un kept yards, too many low income resident, too many minorities, too many renters and too many public housing units. We should not let anyone or any group kick us out of our neighborhood especially for the above mentioned reasons. It is our neighborhood since 1888. Ross Lopez
