I did not ask for a link (or no link in this case) and run. I asked for an explanation and reasons. Not a look it up yourself reply.

Quite frankly a study made with the singular purpose of justifying development is trivial to do. Puer propaganda in many cases. I've done them in my sleep.

NOT what I was asking.

Somone explain to me exactly why they need this specific building. There is plenty of room south of it to rout the creek. The railroad that runs along the creek seems to be the bigger problem.

Have they come to purchase agreements with the owners of the other buildings in the area, or do they only want this one specific one? Do they plan on purchasing the MSU properties in the area as well?

And why are we blowing funds on this daylighting project in the first place. What benefit does it bring for ALL of Springfield and not just a few property developers.

Not following the Law and destroying evidence/personal belongings opens the county up to liability. I for one would rather my tax dollars go to something useful instead of paying for this dipshits stunts. Who wants to bet that there is not bodycam footage of the camp cleanup/arrests. Also, it is such a great use of our taxpayer dollars doing this when they could be patrolling the streets looking for intoxicated drivers, catalytic converter thieves, people driving at stupid speeds well above the speed limit, and helping to curd domestic violence. Part of the job of law enforcement leadership is to set up priorities and work on what helps the most people be safe. This sheriff just seems to like stunts and I'm sad for the deputies that have to work under him.

The convent and rules should have been provided to you prior to you purchasing the home. They have direct bearing on if you had informed consent when you entered into the contract. The title company and seller fucked up if they did not disclose these to you.

Did they start with a fine, or just ask you to move the trailer? And do not go by what others have in their yard. Good old boy selective enforcement is a thing.

You should have been given a set of rules governing what you can and can not do with your property when you signed the HOA contract as part of the purchase. If not ask them for one ASAP.

I'm not your lawyer, and I am not a contract/housing lawyer. If it is important and may cause you to lose your home, get a lawyer who specializes in that area to look things over for you.

That said, it will generally depend on the charter, what YOU signed when you purchased the home, and how big of a bunch of dicks the HOA is. Last I looked court cases were all over the place, but mostly the HOA's won.

Sad to see someone that young die. I hope it was not a case of missing safety devices or failure to yield/running a red light.

Mostly they spend their time running from one call to the next. Thanks to the sorry state of our basic human services, shit economy, and infinite money for jails but none for treatment philosophy of our leadership. It basically is one vicious circle.

Our leadership is straight up incompetent in this regard. 10 million + for a giant gas station (that does not allow Semi-trucks which we actually might have needed) when we have plenty of them already. 16 million + for a sports ball stadium that cannot meet its own operating costs. Yet how much for addiction treatment? Mental health care? Sidewalks, bike lanes, public transport to make it easier for poor folk to get to job's or services? And so forth, you know things that are actually proven to work to help stop crime.

I appreciate the work they try to do in the community, and SPD has generally been a class act when I deal with them. But police culture in general and my experience would indicate that if they do not know then they just do not care to know and there are no repercussions anyway even if they did. It is a relatively minor gripe I realize. But I do hold public servants to a higher standard than joe blow meth head.

More like they just do not care because there is no penalty for them breaking the law like that.

The turn lane is NOT for you to pull out into. It is for traffic to get out of the way of others while waiting to make a left-hand turn. Those meth heads using it to do a left into traffic need to learn how to drive.

For DIY types, Best Buy is the only real option. Back in 2019 Microcenter told me they were planning an expansion in this area. Then Covid hit and that was canceled. NewEgg has been good to me for online ordering.
