One resident, who would not give her name, said she wants the village to first get the homeless off the streets and clean up the litter and traffic congestion. "Start with that, instead of more buildings, trolley carts," she said. "You know what, everybody? Say goodbye to your village, because it's becoming a city."

are nothing new and according to residents it's getting worse.
