Please, please no chickens in Greenfield ("Resident petitions council to keep chickens," Aug. 26, Page A1).
I pay a lot higher property taxes to live in Greenfield, and there are certain things that I expect for that extra money. One important one is that I do not have to put up with living next to a farm. No hogs, no horses, no cows, no fertilizer and no chickens.
I love farmers and the food that they produce, but 99% of them live outside the city. Let’s make that 100%. There are plenty of residential homes in the county. Choose one and then feel free to enjoy all of the chickens that you want. Please do not try to force your choices on your neighbors.
