Welcome

We hope you will visit here often and become involved. By paying attention, working together, and being active in the civic process, we can help preserve the integrity and diversity of our neighborhoods in Raleigh. We work to fulfill this mission by advocating and educating. Our message packet can be found here.

Community SCALE invites you to share information and calls for neighborhood action by participating in this community forum.

Please write us here if you would like to post an announcement.

Online Petition Still Available
(2007-2008 comments here)

Respect4Raleigh

Raleigh is not alone, battles about teardowns are being waged in towns and cities across the country. This trend toward replacing older stable neighborhoods with newly developed streets of oversized homes will continue unfettered unless action is taken.

Neighborhood changes that are driven by private residents can enhance the community. The future of the inner neighborhoods, and the beauty of Raleigh itself, will suffer as long as speculative market forces are driving the changes. The property rights of ALL residents are equally important. If you are a concerned resident, please lend your voice to the debate by visiting and participating in this petition.

We ask that signers:
1. be 18 or older
2. include the neighborhood you live in, to demonstrate that this is a problem all over Raleigh - you may do this and still be viewed as anonymous
3. be sure to only sign once
4. forward this on to your friends and neighbors
