The Observation Deck

Subsidized affordable housing is some classic Neo-liberal solution to solving a market and capitalist, monopolist problem. Always too complex, hard to qualify for, gamed by both the developers and the government / non-profits tasked with monitoring the numbers. Bahhhh

The post was supposed to be about proposed changes to Lakewood's zoning laws.

This is typical of the Deck. Subject is started, turns into the effen Hospital debacle within 2 replies. This is why young people don't read or post on this site. They are SICK of hearing about the Hospital.

I guess reading a post rehashing the Hospital debacle is a little like me listening to my grandfather and his brothers arguing about the Italian Turkish war.

There is nothing stopping young people from posting. They can change the subject whenever they want.

I think it important that younger people know the past. Knowing
the past will help them understand why there is an empty ditch on Detroit and why the City will soon be asking for a 50% increase in the income tax rate.

6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, er . . . I mean Lakewood Hospital.

On the deck, typically 3 degrees.

The Cudell neighborhood in Cleveland has become much more affordable in the last 25 years. Later, a year or two ago, I worked a temp job in maple heights for a few weeks….
