Letter to the Editor Front yards for beauty; back yards for play equipmnt

Editor,

I am writing this letter in regard to the city council discussing trampolines and swing-sets in front yards of Bella Vista residents. I cannot understand why they would even consider such a thing. They belong in backyards and people should consider this before buying a home here.

I love that Bella Vista has so many lovely homes and gardens and feel this would spoil the area and devalue our property.

I have lived here 15 years and this is my first letter to the editor.

Most of the people living in Bella Vista take pride in their homes and gardens. I and many of the people I talk to feel this would take away from the beauty here.

Life is full of changes and I feel this would not be for the better of the community.
