All the governments figured out about 15 or 20 years ago, that when you want to widen the road, do the utilities and the intersections first. It’s real easy to pave over the ground. Before that they used to pave 20 miles of highway, and then have it go bad and the weather for a year while they build the overpass. My point is, if they are updating the utilities, the freight train is already left the station. And they don’t think over a year or two, they will keep pushing for 20 3040 years.
If you want to send me some details, I think most of the guys here have already figured out that I am a professional and very well accomplished pain in the ass. The trick is not to fight them in town Hall, the trick is to get it in the media in an election year, and to get your neighbors riled up. Look at everything they do, and twist it against them. They’re usually incredibly arrogant, so it’s usually pretty easy to set them up if you think for two seconds, and then embarrass them in the press.
Let me give you an example. I don’t know if you Saw my post yesterday or the day before where I put the W in the new driveway, and the city was pouring the concrete. So three guys in suits came by, I don’t know who they were I wasn’t here at the time. But I’ll bet you I’m gonna get some kind of official letter or notice of violation or something for the W.
The front half of the driveway is in the right of way, but from the W towards my house Is my personal property. So if and when they complain about the W, instead of responding about the W and instead of going to the city, I’m going to the same news reporter I’ve used for a few years and I’m going to complain about the city officials trespassing on my property without permission.
Now take that to the umpteenth level. And, yuck yuck, this is an election year here!
How it helps, hope He forgives me (But these suckers are so ripe, you can’t resist)
