Most of the local cities, ultimately encompassing the county have made it nearly impossible for teenagers and youths to have anything to do. If you talk to any basketball soccer football volleyball or other coach, no one can find gym or field space. Kids need opportunities for engagement and healthy activities. Without these opportunities, we see things in the community such as the extremely high levels of high school drug and alcohol abuse. If you don’t provide things to do this will only continue to get worse. I’ve lived in 10 different states in the last 15 years and I’ve never seen a place so unwelcoming to the youth.
