Raise the Hammer

With all due respect, trolling trash talk aside, of all the things posted on this site, this Kenilworth thing seems to me to be a red herring.

My comment was in response to @youforgot. As I said, I have more than 60 years experience with that intersection. I am neither supporting or demeaning overall City engineering. I am not talking about an changing an overall network or about City taxes on a grand scale. I was supporting @Cripsy's post about THAT intersection. It never was an intersection of any significance pre-bridge. It was never at grade level when the City was anywhere near like it is now and it would costs millions to re-mediate. I would need to know why in the long run spending that money now, would be worth it. Why would we expropriate taxpayers when a bridge repair will do?

Do you think spending more money on that intersection in the short run is going to solve your concern with the land/unit infrastructure tax base issues you speak of?

Maybe like the guy below says, I should not have used such colorful language, but suggesting some huge change to that area when the City is facing so many problems seems to me to be out of line and frankly, an example of why some people think people on this site go way overboard.

But, I am just a troll. I only supported the Crispy guy because he is in opposition to the article, not be because he raised an interesting point.

I still don't know where that @forgot guy got his information.

Your frustration is apparent and understandable. But ideas of change must be subject to challenge and nothing you have said in your response significantly supports the specific issue expropriating people and spending many millions to re-mediate that specific intersection.

If it isn't sound reasoning to "call out" possible waste, well then I must be of unsound mind.
