Amazing. Kind of reminds me of the exploding whale in Oregon.

“Kind of reminds me of the exploding whale in Oregon.”

That was hysterical!

I personally think the best symbol of government incompetence near me is Doodletown, NY. This little settlement along the Hudson River was on the edge of the Palisades Interstate Park system, and the government wanted it for the park. They bought lots as they went on the market, but couldn’t get it all, so they “eminent domained” the residents out who resisted selling in the mid-1960s.

Their land was to be used for a ski area of the park, but that never materialized and now there are just crumbling roads & foundations left (they pulled down the residences). Whoever masterminded that should be imprisoned for a long time - some of these families had been in the area prior to the American Revolution.
