  • They need to let the homeless live in these waste of money locations, and get them off the streets so tax paying citizens can enjoy the city and county again.

  • With hotels and such being purchased by the county how much will rooms by the hour cost?
    That would be one way to get people off the streets and provide employment.

  • Adventurous getaway = you and your coworkers will be shanked by one of the county’s many violent homeless people.

    • G-Dad I like your thinking. Have a work party at one of these mold infested places and it turns into a “who dun it” party as everybody tries to figure out, was it a crazy homeless person or the black mold that killed the party goer. As the back-Ward Mayor of this shi-tty, I mean city, I put all my weight behind this idea, and that says a ton.

  • How can you have Parks without restroom facilities ? Wow , I would think that would be a code violation or Create a lot of indecent exposures these places ar famous for.

    • It clearly states “A special event permit may be required for larger events to ensure adequate restroom facilities…” in that if you are having a large crowd, then portable restrooms may be needed along with the provided bathrooms.
