By your logic, you've never seen California and just negated all of your arguments against it What's the Jitney got to do with any of this? He's not a resident of this state, does not ride Jitneys and never goes anywhere near the Plaza. Quote
André Toulon Posted July 8 Posted July 8 (edited) And you just further negated your Cali arguments. Its not fun if you're just going to dunk on yourself. Edited July 8 by André Toulon 2 Quote

André Toulon Posted July 8 Posted July 8 What does him living on the other side of town have to do with him visiting the plaza? 1 2 Quote

Pull out some of that arithmetic and tell me just how cost effective that would be. Here, I'll even save you some time...the village is about 140 square miles.... California is 165K square miles. Be sure to show your work. The entire nation of Japan is fewer square miles than Cali, and unlike Cali, the government there knows how to manage a budget and maintain a capital reserve for such projects. When the money isn't sufficient to do it all at once, it could be done incrementally, a few areas at a time. 1 Quote

André Toulon Posted July 8 Posted July 8 So you're going to abandon the other thread to dig in this bootyhole of a thread again. So, you are well versed in the governing bodies of both Japan and California but your cig guy can possibly go to the other side of town. 1 Quote
naraku360 Posted July 8 Posted July 8 3 hours ago, The Evil Dr. Longshadow said: Got a troubled strip mall. More than half the stores are vacant. The lot is littered with dirty needles and broken liquor bottles. The food store is reported to be understocked and too small. The city has spent $200k, just to "study" ways to improve and revitalize it. There's nothing to study. Just look at it. Walk though it. Observe it. Ask what's going on there that isn't happening at the more successful strip malls out of town. Got it, yet? Just kick all the drunks, druggies, pushers, shoplifters, panhandlers, vandals and prostitutes out of the area. Problen solved. You dumb, lady. 2 Quote

Why does Japan have high speed rail covering most of it while America can't even manage to re-pave Interstate 80? Quote

Another of my extensive list of duties is .... strip mall part owner. I would just love it if he would sit in front of my strip mall and scare away people. In fact, we just had a gym open up and all the meatheads are stealing the parking spaces, so we can use him to just ask random questions about the anime stickers on all their cars. 2 1 Quote
