My prediction on this

PAT T LAND — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:04:18 -0500

My prediction on this project..It will never see the light of day.
I can't imagine the state putting down that kind of money for one project when so many smaller ones are being tossed around, and now with the flood damage in and around the metro Im afraid some of this stimulus cash will be needed just to quick fix existing roads.

When is this State/Country

When is this State/Country going to get serious about these FREAKS?
They cannot be fixed, they need to be dealt with and im not talking about locking them up in jail and wasting our tax money to keep them alive. This is life and life isnt easy, there is good and bad and bad needs to be taken out of society.

Looking for flood updates?

Construction could begin by Spring 2011 is a nice way of saying, "Your commute will be ugly next year." I can't imagine what that interchange is going to be like during construction. I agree something has to be done, and a little bit of discomfort now for a better tomorrow is a small price to pay (like the Crosstown Project), but this is going to be a traffic nightmare for awhile. Glad I don't have to commute to the inner 'burbs for work.

Be sure not to lick the envelope shut...I heard a rumor that the 3 hundred dollar hair cut crew will be doing DNA screens on all census forms that are incomplete

Good point, rowland, you are spot on with that comment.

VicLava — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:10:56 -0600

Yea, I know about covenant committees. I would never move into a neighborhood that has one. Government already does what it can to control private property, i don't know why anyone would give up more autonomy to a group of people that could possibly contain some power hungry people. If someone can afford to buy a land yacht and he wants to park it in his driveway that he paid for and pays taxes on, more power to him. Live and let live.

Probably so, but if your child was somewhere and there was a fire in the hotel, would you want a sober chaperone assisitng them out of the unfamiliar building? Or to put it another way, would you hold the chaperones and the sponsoring organization blameless if a child died because the chaperone(s) were at a bar and not there to help?

Covenants, conditions and

Rowland — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:58:52 -0600

Covenants, conditions and restrictions can care. CC a R's are limitations and rules placed on a group of homes by a builder, developer, neighborhood association and / or homeowner association. All condos and townhomes have CC&Rs; however, so do most planned unit developments and established neighborhoods. While they can be intrusive and overly restrictive - if used properly they are a good tool to help avoid property value damaging properties. Examples of CC&R in my neighborhood are the prohibition of storage of boats and RV's in the front yard / driveway for longer than 72 hours, or parking vehicles on the lawn. Think about it, you are shopping for a home and every third house has a land yacht in the driveway, and others have dead lawns with oil stains showing where the vehicle parks... whould that neighborhood be appealing? (Well ok to some it would but not to me)
