Communes try to open in area

Hi Greymonters, it's come to our attention that a commune request has started through the legal route. We would like you feed back on this, we will also be coming around shortly with a petition to stop the first request as the residents around this particular house are against the proposal. A little info on communes, in first world countries they aren't such a bad thing because bylaws are normally adhered to and are enforced but in South Africa generally this is not the case. Communes normally host students or young adults for temporary period which result in a few problems, noise being a very common issue then foot traffic in the area increases often followed by noisy conversations and as you know most Greymont houses are right next to these roads and you hear everything, also house overcrowding becomes a huge issue as they start the process with the right amount of people then once they have the go ahead they start filling these houses up as people pay per person not per room in the end. Because the tenants are temporary and don't have a invested interest in the area and it's infrastructure the tend not to contribute to there surroundings and have a no care attitude. You will note a increase in house parties and a decease in house maintenance ending in area decay. Litter and house waste also drastically increase, Even a increase in crime in some situations. These commune trends have happened in areas like Brixton, Melville, and recently Westdene. Normally communes start in areas Close to universities and as our area does not fall in the area of a university I feel there are no grounds for such requests. To upgrade our area we need to focus on houses being sold not leased (if they are to single families) and invite people to take a personal investment approach in the area. Let's create a great area! These issues may not happen with one commune in the area but these communes tend to have a snow ball effect as they make a lot of money for there investors who by the way would have an issue with them if the opened in their area Which they reside. Imagine someone opening one in saxonworld it wouldn't happen so why should we let them happen here. Again these are just view so please comment.
