That many homes for sale.........how many more in foreclosure???

and this guy is worried about dog poop on the sidewalk?

Maybe should be glad there is still somebody walking in the downtown area at all.

I don't know when or where, I almost never see anybody walking when I go through.

We can't get local politicians to listen what makes you think any little group you come up with would get national politicians to listen?

Pummel your congressmen with email............they answer politely..and totally disregard.

A revolution? Now that might work.

Not necessarily--thousands of North American IT jobs have been outsourced to India--the Indian IT workers are the new "millionaires" in the neighborhood--they are earning more in a year then most do in a lifetime--the loss of North American jobs isn't just because of goods made in foreign countries--the outsourcing of thousands of jobs and the ripple down effect is a major source of this. In 2005-2006 GM/EDS/IBM outsourced over 12,000 North American IT jobs to India. Remember that the next time you feel the need to buy a vehicle from one of the Big Three Automakers--

Harmonic is correct in wanting to penalize those who don't clean up after their dogs. That is uncalled for. So are all the cigarettes butts littering everywhere, the fast food wrappers, plastic drink bottles, etc. Unless we can penalize people for being inconsiderate SLOBS who litter the problem will continue. Whenever I see somebody throw a cigarette butt down on the ground I can't help but wonder what their own yard/house must look like--hundreds of butts littering their lawn, driveway, carpeting inside right? Ditto for the fast food papers and drink bottles.

I saw somebody walking their dog on Corunna Ave this morning.
Just west of Gould St.

But I don't think 'we' need to spend tax dollars policing dog poop and litter right now. People need to 'police' each other.

If you are headed for a revolution, I hope it is for something more important than dog poop on the sidewalk.

Perhaps you should read my post in it's entirety.
Then you will have the entire scoop on the poop and the other matters brought up in this thread. The poop was only a small nugget, people loosing jobs and homes due to unfair world trade was the real chunk here.
I can see people here would rather sit around and bark about how bad things are, than try and actually do something about circumstances and work toward real change.


perhaps you could try a more appropriate title for your thread "dog poop down town" leads me to believe this post is about dog poop down town

But then, you apparently, haven't read much of my posts.
