  1. Wow...she is super hot. Most of the planners that keep you from turning left while driving are kind of fat and ugly.

    Got to be better that the bribery-driven chaos that's been going on for the last thirty years here!

  4. no no no 10:23 don't be mean, these are good comments, yours isn't.

    8:50 we need you around here - LOL

    on the topic, my comment re downtown space utilization is, it is very dangerous riding a bike thru power and lite bc too many tall curbs and artificially narrowed street. so please no "complete streets" any more or "placemaking" or whatever is being pushed.

    and there seems to be too great an emphasis on grand public plazas like the Ilus Davs park and barney allis plaza. large green spaces downtown, nice idea when we had a viable commercial district downtown. but fifty years of the freeway noose and lots of wasteful urban planning stupidity like power and light district have crushed actual business activities in the loop/CBD, made it a pain in the ass to park and get thru even tho there isn't a lot of commerical hubbub and commotion. large green spaces like that aren't needed - they get filled with vagrants and kind of become intimidating places actually. we need to focus on jobs and businesses in the "cenbral business district" don't we? or have we abandoned that notion completely in favor of subsidized luxury dwellings?
