It's never enough. City planners don't plan too well.

Having lived in a super-majority blue, can't plan their way out of a paper bag and a super-majority red, planning is infinitely better... the planning differences are as stark as can be.

Kommieforniastan "planners" are idiots. Mouth breathing, window licking idiots.

That is not to say Utah does it perfect because they do not. That said, they do it well, they get shit done in months and years as opposed to DECADES. They maintain the roads here in the city, unlike Los Angeles.

I will EVER move back to a blue shit hole like Kommieforniastan. Fuck that place and the shit birds running it.

I've only been to SLC one time, for the Michigan/Utah game. My first impression was how clean the city was. I was impressed.

It's all about priorities isn't it?

It seems to me that libraries are obsolete but maybe not. :shrug;

Parks certainly add to the quality of life of a community. We have lots of good parks in the county I live in. Bike trails too. I'm happy to help pay for them.

A 50+ community center? As a 50+ year old guy, I'd be interested to find out more. Even if I wasn't 50+ I'm pretty sure my parents would be.

If you're not interested in any of those things vote no.

So, Nutboy, when are you moving back? It'd be great to grab lunch when we've both returned to the great state of California.

(It's hilarious when Nutboy gets so emphatic when making one of his frenzied posts that he gets caught up in his own words.)

I've been a few times for work, and going back this May. That's the first thought I had as well, it's pretty and clean for the most part.
Strange Mormon alcohol laws tho

I have voted to raise taxes for things I supported and have voted against raising taxes for things I did not support.

So yes I have voted for more taxes before.

Is that clear enough?
