If You Want Something...

If you want something this is the week to ask for it from City Hall. Making whacked out deals
all over the city a multistory air conditioned off building for Lakewood Historical. No problem,
"Dream Bigger" they were told.

People in Clifton Park, getting Clifton turned into one lane. "We love it, you are supporting
the yet to be announced not-to-be-called-a-rec-center." We will hammer it through.
Meanwhile LOBC can't get a court unless they sign off on not-to-be-called-a-rec-center.

Clifton Blvd residents gave up a bus for faster rush hour, hundreds of signs in their yards,
and generally property values dropping. Had they signed off on the "not-to-be-called-a-rec-center"
perhaps, they could have also gone 1 lane of traffic.

Yeah a quiet city quickly doubling down on many, many, many bad ideas.
