So, how are the sidewalks of properties owned by the city.

Did the city get ALL such sidewalks shoveled yesterday?  That is, before the slush turned to ice?


It would be interesting if people here are out and about, can get photos.  Like how about the location of the new "park" on Eastern Ave.  Wonder how the sidewalks are there.  Any kids have to walk in the street to avoid falling.  Good thing that church on Eastern is closed so people don't have to walk to church there--oh wait, all the people that went to that church fled the city which is why it closed

But seriously if you go passed any of the places the city owns, take a look, make some reports here if the sidewalks are bone dry or covered with ice, and take pics if you can, and send the photos off to Greg Floyd too.

They didn't even get all the streets plowed before the slush turned to ice.
It's funny, yesterday I was out walking, and I was thinking about how Roger Hull had some ideas he wanted to try to implement, true 'progressive' ideas, like permeable sidewalks. How much better off we would have been, having someone who looked at a job as an intellectual challenge, rather than someone intellectually challenged.

Oh, but the city is improving, the mayor and his team are doing a wonderful job.    So says DV.   But of course he NEVER enters the city to see the truth

Bet the sidewalks downtown are totally clear, after all, those are the politically connected millionaires and billionaires down there, the taxpayers are being raped by the city to lavish downtown with clear sidewalks, but the taxpayers get sh*t in their neighborhoods

seriously....do you think it's wise and productive to go into "unsafe" neighborhoods just to take a picture???.

if you are so concerned.......grab a shovel........and help your neighbor.......that would be a solution......

Just thinking that people live in these unsafe neighborhoods, maybe when they are out and about they could take photos as they pass by a city owned property.

Why should any of the people IN the city, who pay almost the highest taxes around, have to go and shovel sidewalks of city owned properties?   The city caused the mess, they have to fix it, and they should fix it by making their downtown millionaire political cronies pay for the shoveling of the city owned properties taken by foreclosure, after all, it's the failure of the millionaires to pay their FULL, 100% tax bills that have caused the increase in tax foreclosures and the city to become owner of these properties.   If downtown paid their full taxes, then the tax bills of the homeowners would have been lower and people could have afforded to pay their taxes and they would not have lost their homes and the houses would not have become city owned properties.

they are unsafe because there just aren't enough laws to make criminals.....and not enough jails to hold them.....(tic)

I'm not sure what came first the chicken or the egg, but I bet the $10/hour service jobs don't help Americans raise an American family

I know I know there's always some f'en sport/actor child to talk about 'the hood' 'the trailer' that they used to live in and how they
'worked really really really' hard to break their chains.....

indentured servitude comes in many forms and with/without $$$

and there just are some people who don't understand the system because it is just to complicated and bizarre....Demolition Man comes
to mind


...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
