Wow... They just really do not get it!
When a corporate chain like Duncan Donuts gets dicked around for three years trying to get some stores opened that are going to provide a good chunk o' tax revenue and walks away in disgust after being treated like Pol Pot by the Madison city council...
I won't go downtown anymore to shop because of the pan handlers and begging winos. I won't drink in Madison bars because of the smoking ban. I try real hard not to spend a CENT of money in the city proper to avoid giving Moscow on Menona ANY of my money.
They can go eff themselves. The 'Burbs around crazytown are building businesses right and leftto suck up what is fleeing. In ten years it's going to be a ghost town supporting the university and an overinflated housing market occupied by idiot liberals. Oh wait... isn't that the situation now? lol.
"The 'Burbs around crazytown are building businesses right and left to suck up what is fleeing."
That's why we built our office in Verona. All of the 'burbs are exploding with businesses of all kinds and new single-family housing, versus the sardine-can apartments the socialists would prefer we all live in. *Rolleyes*
That sucking sound you hear? That's jobs being sucked out of Madistan. ;)
