In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I'd pass on all the advice

"I live in a four-plex apartment in the east side of Gilroy. My downstairs neighbor has a one-car garage. There is a lot of of foot traffic that comes in. Some stay 10 or 15 minutes and some stay all day. She also has five little dogs living in the apartment. I have contacted the landlord, who said she had fewer rights than she would like and can't really do anything. I talked to the property manager, who said it may take up to four months to evict them. I talked to the Gilroy Police, who were very sympathetic but are over extended. I talked to the City of Gilroy, who said they would be able to send out a letter in the next couple weeks. But I am not getting any immediate relief of the situation. It is scary. It looks like there may be some sales of illegal things are going on. I was just wondering if there is anything that you can do."

I read Successful Smaller Downtowns & Business Districts: What Every Businessperson, Property Owner, and Municipal Official Should Know, by John L. Gann Jr., and got some inspirations for downtown Gilroy.
