As I ...Soglin's idea makes no objective sense. As I believe I said in the earlier post; these are the guys hired to do the work. Who you want to watch are those doing the hiring. That this went down by only 11-9 is no cause for celebration.<br /><br />The street thing, like the $100K and donated public land for the garden if Seattle, is just a waste of money. Only places that can collect $15K a year in property taxes on moderately well off Midwestern housing can afford such self-congratulatory nonsense.<br /><br />If either of these were such an obviously good idea, people would buy their own paint and plant their own trees without need of government assistance. Government permission perhaps, but financial assistance from other people's money, no.CWJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598487232861475833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-16514961066281034112013-06-19T12:34:14.777-05:002013-06-19T12:34:14.777-05:00"garage mahal said...
