Readers React to Dispatch From Sunset Village

A little more than a week ago, we ran a letter to the editor who's parting ways with the controversial mobile park.

Chris Iosello, the letter's author, highlights the lack of services residents have received for years, as well as the lack of attention they've received from public officials. Iosello's note concludes with sad irony—"I am leaving Vice City and the best view of Sunset Village will be from my rearview mirror."

Iosello's detailed letter of the residents' hardships comes after a May 2012 letter indicated . And as Iosello's farewell note circulated on Facebook, readers have shared their opinions on Sunset Village's conditions.

Some shared in Iosello's frustration:

• "I was a resident and my brother still lives there. I am continually appalled by the state of the park," wrote reader Lisa Chesser, "... shame on you Richard Klarchek... You have tanken advantage of these people long enough!!!"
• "My heart aches for those in Sunset Village and I have posted this to facebook to help get the word out. Glenview and Winetka officials should be embarrassed with such obvious neglect." wrote Bonnie. 

Meanwhile others offered potential solutions for bettering the area:

• "I dont know why the village buys it. Doesn't Evanston have a "live evanston program?" They could fix it up and have qualified low income families in town." wrote John Smith.

• "To Chris, have you ever attempted to bring this to the attention of a major news outlet, either print media or television? . . .  Embarrassing our local public officials on camera might make some headway, or at least make them aware people are watching how they're performing." wrote C H.
