During a recent city council meeting, residents expressed significant concerns regarding the installation of a single-wide mobile home in the Saddle Club area of Forney, Texas. One resident, who spoke at the meeting, emphasized the potential negative impact on property values and the community's vision of maintaining an upscale neighborhood. He highlighted the city's previous efforts to protect home values following the destruction caused by nearby developments, urging council members to reconsider allowing mobile homes in the area.

Another resident, DeAnne Dawkins, voiced frustration over the lengthy executive sessions that have characterized recent meetings, suggesting they discourage community participation. She noted that many residents felt sidelined, as they had to wait for hours to express their concerns, particularly regarding the Perry property.

The council also recognized members of the parks board, with discussions about their contributions planned for later in the agenda. However, the primary focus of the evening remained on the mobile home issue, with multiple residents advocating for the council to uphold the community's standards and prevent further developments that could alter the neighborhood's character.

As the meeting progressed, it became clear that the community is united in its desire to maintain the integrity of the Saddle Club area, with residents calling for the council to take their concerns seriously and address the implications of allowing mobile homes in their neighborhood.
