I take umbrage on Lerslie's S comments about Salute. . Salute is located in our upscale, professional-filled, family-friendly , and SAFE Marina Bay neighborhood.\r

Richmond has suffered from a bad reputation all because of a very small area where violent crime does occur. But that area is in the Iron Triangle (other side of freeway) and North Richmond. If you check statistics, hardly any crime, especially violent crime , occurs in our neighborhood. Cities like San Francisco and Seattle have similar neighborhoods. Richmond is not unique.\r

Please retract your statement and set aside your prejudices. We are on the water, many are gated communities, we enjoy the yacht club next to Salute, and we care for our neighbors and our community.\r

Next time, please check your facts first!!!! And yes, we will welcome you and your family and friends if you decide to come back to our Marina Bay neighborhood.
