Most on council live in N. Everett

Regarding the Thursday article, “Everett Council supports Paine Field flights”:

Of course they did!

The Everett City Council and city officials are only concerned with putting more money in their pockets. “Little or no impact on traffic and the environment for surrounding communities”?! Do any of the council members live close to the airport?! Most of these people live in North Everett!

My experiences with living in South Everett is that we are without much city services support.

It is sad that there is such a large divide between North and South Everett. With the upcoming waterfront area, will there be a third city within the city?
