Restoring the type of streetlamps we had until around 1985 would do more than any ivy. The old 12-14 ft tall standards with big glass covers were beautiful, and if the top part of the glass could be coated...

Commented on Hard Hat Tour: Genesee Gateway
Buffalo's current, circa-1952 "Kill The Cities!" codes prevent most urban-esque infill. If your own house, on a 30-ft lot, burns down, you aren't even allowed to rebuild it. Gawd forfend a corner store without parking !...

No "loss of jobs" will result from the replacement of private urban autos with public urban transport; people need to move around in one way or another. There was once a large force in the livery business, then an...

HSBC = union-busting b*stards who will KILL before allowing their wage slaves to organize. Same as every other bank, sadly enough. They "provide" marginal jobs to desperate people, while sucking every possible dime out of the communities they prey...
