Takeaways from the August 2025 Meeting of the West Price Hill Community Council
Of Cincinnati’s 52 neighborhoods, the westside neighborhoods, East Price Hill, West Price Hill, Lower Price Hill and Westwood, make up roughly half of Cincinnati’s population. During a well attended meeting on August 12, 2025, the frustrations of the neighborhood residents who attended the meeting, spilled out all over the place. I posted my observations on my FB page. The link is below.
The meeting was a solid 2 hours long and much more was discussed than I describe in my post. For example, the most amount of time was spent on the restructuring of the Hamilton County Probation Department. Probably the subject of a future Watchdog podcast. A member of city council and candidate for re-election attended and was probably shell shocked by the discussion. The meeting also heard from 3 new city council candidates who took a few minutes to introduce themselves.
But my FB post focuses on 1) comments from a transpalnt from Orlando who described buyer’s remorse based on qulaity of life issues in West Price Hill and 2) an acknowledgment from the police that people come to Cincinnati from hundreds of miles away, primaily the Price Hill neighborhoods, for the social servcies that the city has concentrated and subsidized in Price Hill and its negative affect on our qiulaity of life.
