MAD Gets Irate
sdclimbergal, You didn't read the comments by LookAway very carefully. Being familiar with the facts, I assure you that LookAway wrote nothing that isn't correct and documented. There is way too much to share with you here to inform you, but here are some of the more entertaining and amusing facts: Do you know that the owner of the Moose Lodge voted against the MAD? Do you know that Hueso's brother voted against it? Want an example of CDC propaganda? Here's one: Do you recall that multicolor pro-MAD mailer the CDC sent out, with the photo of a retaining wall at the end Ivy? CDC claimed that the graffiti on the wall had been there for months and months, because the City wouldn't respond to requests to clean it? Well, I put that to the test: I put in a request on the City's online graffiti website and within one week the City sent a cleaner. The City has been that good for many years, every time we've reported graffiti. And the City blasts the graffiti off the sidewalks instead of doing the ugly paintovers (which just provides a canvas for new graffiti). Do you recall the graffitied street sign in the same mailer? That sign is at the end of the street where some of the main longtime CDC members live: they can do what we do on our street, which is to take 3 minutes and a cloth with a little mineral spirits and wipe off the graffiti. I wash my own sidewalk, sweep my own curb, as do my neighbors. The City streetsweeper comes twice monthly and does a great job. If the sidewalks in front of the Turf Club or Luigi's (both buildings owned by CDC members) need washing, the owners should do it, not me. Not you. Not the City. Just keep repeating: No to Privatization.— May 25, 2008 7:40 a.m.
