They interviewed chief and McCheese, talking about all these abandoned properties that squatters get into and have fires to keep warm.
Gee, if the city focused on the neighborhoos instead of downtown, they'd have money.
Since there are so many abandoned properties, doesn't that tell you something? People are leaving the cty.
If only people knew
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
It's 9 months since I called code enforcement about the broken windows in vacant house next to me, 9 months since I emailed councilmembers, have had to call police as people going in through the windowns etc. And not one of the broken windows has been boarded.
The house/business on Albany St near Paige has burned at least twice, same house my neighbor found dead in, drive by that, the side windows are still not boarded, I think the city is hoping these places don't make the winter
Forgot to add that I even called fire admin office on Veeder, talked to secretary told her of my concerns about house being so close to mine and being used, she said she'd call codes, told her been doing that with no results, she said she'd take care of it and I can hear the crickets chirping.
they'll all probably wait for elections to make a quick big impression so all the small minded folks(they think we are) will see the shock and awe of their actions and vote for them...then DO NOTHING AGAIN...because they got elected.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
You're right, rp, they don't want the buildings or the neighborhoods, they want a glorious New Fort Schenectady, built with our tax dollars, and then if our neighborhoods just rot away, that will be fine with them. MP got some shiny, "revitalized" tennis courts. Who says the city doesn't care about the neighborhoods? Tennis, anyone?
government should be ashamed .....city is a wasteland
There's no shame they will all run again.
The foreclosure Capital. The pit bull Capital. The Girls Fight Club Capital. 1,000 tax foreclosures with hundreds more ready to go. But no reason to cut the budget or taxes? We need more revenue by any means necessary because the inmates run the asylum and taxpayers go to hell. Over in Albany {another NE City} Mayor Jennings cut his budget $500,000-never in Schenectady County. We must keep the flim flam going. Death Ray and Morris both need raises. Change is coming if you want it. Or else see the State Control Board and Comptroller's Office.
