Yard Signs Show Opposition to Daycare Expansion

Residents are finding diverse way to show their opposition to the planned addition to Oxford Academy.

Some residents of Cheney Woods  and the Facebook group devoted to the cause has 28 supporters. Now neighbors are expressing their opposition with yard signs.

"Stop Oxford Academy Expansion" signs line both sides of Flagler Circle and part of Church Street Tuesday. Residents are concerned that Oxford Academy's planned renovation of a rental house on the corner of Flagler Circle and Church Street for use as another daycare facility will negatively impact their property values and increase traffic through their neighborhood. Some also believe the city's ordinance allowing commercial daycares in residentially zoned areas is illegal.

But what do you think? Should Oxford Academy be allowed to expand? Where do you draw the line between a free market economy and property rights? What do you think about the city's ordinance allowing daycares in residential areas? Tell us in the comments.
