• Commented on Groundbreaking held for $640,000 Ice Cream Stand & Clam Bar
  Can somebody please tell me why the F*CK that boardwalk cost $1 million? I just built a deck with about 60% as much lumber and it cost me $2,200. They're not even trying to hide the patronage! Are you kidding...

• Commented on Preservation Award Winner: The Allentown Association
  While that may be true, it is also true that the Allentown Association is in cahoots with the preservation board, and has had a significant role in making miserable the lives of Allentown homeowners. Many of its members are self-serving...

• Commented on A petition for municipal sidewalk snowplowing in Buffalo
  Again, you didn't read my post. I simply contradicted Sweeper's claim that snow removal "isn't terribly hard or time consuming." I never said landlords (or their tenants) don't have a responsibility to do it. You are all a bunch of...
• Commented on A petition for municipal sidewalk snowplowing in Buffalo
  Well, you could jump down my throat. Except that I didn't say landlords don't have a responsibility, but that it's not "quick and easy" as Sweeper716 suggests. I didn't even say that I owned multiple properties or that I was...

• Commented on Lunching @ La Tee Da
  Yeah, the Preservation Society and Allentown Association should make it more unattractive to live in an already unattractive part of town. In fact, why don't we just take everybody's property away from them by force?...

  There you go again, sticking your nose where it doesn't belong....
• Commented on Lunching @ La Tee Da
  You sound like the typical Allentown busybody, the type that make sensible people decry Allentown as a shit hole that's made even shittier by the shit heads who wish it wasn't such a shithole, and want to force people to...
• Commented on Janne Sirén to become next Director of Albright-Knox
  Couldn't agree more. But of course, we've been selling our children and their futures in this country since the 1970s. This is one principle of preservation that I very much support: keeping the old intact. To sell masterpieces by Caravaggio...
• Commented on Janne Sirén to become next Director of Albright-Knox
  You both make good points. Travelrrr is correct: our city and our collection (not to mention the salary that no doubt approaches $250k) was enough to bring him here. On the other hand, WTBasketball is correct in saying that New...

• Commented on Rental Project Planned Near LaSalle Light Rail Station
  Yeah, I'm sure the developers were thinking, "hey, let's make sure we do everything possible to keep those people of color away from us, even though they live a block away." 99% of decisions made by developers are FINANCIAL in...

  You are so full of shit, Steel. I live in the city, work in the city, own many properties in the city, spend almost all of my money in the city, and would never consider living anywhere else. I have...

  BRO, why do you selectively delete comments? Has it occurred to you that some of the folks who comment on this site are your advertising clients? Have you considered that selective and biased deletion of comments might cause said clients...
• Commented on Wrecking Buffalo: Coming to a garbage dump near you, this church.
  I have to say that I agree with much of what you wrote. Major change is certainly required in most, if not all departments of city government. However, this isn't just a preservation issue. It's a quality of life issue...
