To the Editor:

After visiting Ocala briefly with my husband, we fell in love with the beautiful green farm land here, the peace and quiet.

We decided to sell our home after a few scary scenarios of people randomly shooting near our home, one occurring as my son was walking out to walk our dog. We have been extremely happy living here in Ocala.

Every road for us is a new exciting and beautiful adventure, we are in love with our land and we are so happy to be here with the kind people of Ocala and far away from the chaos.

We beg you to please stop building and keep our beautiful farms alive and the beautiful green land as just that. We don’t want to have to move again.
