We can't even pay our teachers for god's sake, yet that fucking clown is throwing 30 something million away on a single lakefront project (not to mention the millions he's already wasted on other foolish beautification projects)! Been saying it for years, people are getting fed up with the insane mismanagement and corruption in this city, county, and state. We're heading the direction of Detroit, and if it weren't for our somewhat decent tourism industry, we'd already be there.
And this is just another reason why when I see all these silly condo and apartment towers going up, I think:
who the hell is filling these??? We're over-building this city, and it's only a matter of time before
downtown stops being a desirable relocation spot for Joe-blow Big 10 or these suburban kids who come rent an apartment "in the city" for a few years before going back home.
This city and this state face some very big and serious financial issues that are driving people out and in huge numbers. It's fucking embarrassing.
