I’m surprised they didn’t jail him.

That’s failed and poor Socialist Government Tyranny vs. thriving and wealthy Free Market Economy in a nutshell.

It’s been over 200 years since the American Revolution. It is now past time for a Government Revolution: A complete overhaul of how government of the people should work.

Adi Astl, with the help of a homeless man he hired

See? That's the problem right there. It only took 2 people to get the job done, and not the hundreds of people that the liberal government would have employed, just to "redistribute" the wealth and to create many jobs. Government's responsibility, nowadays, is to spend as much as they can, even if they do it with deficits, and with as many people as they can gather. If the jobs got done inexpensively and with little manpower, then, liberals would not be doing the job to which they've been elected.

Like nearly everything gubment does, the private sector can do it cheaper, and better!

$500 for the steps and $149,000 for kickbacks.

Obviously the city will now have to establish a new permit and oversight committee to make sure that construction supplies are not used for unauthorized purposes. This rebel and his supporters will be charged as public menaces and silenced. Mega Sarc/ I hope.

Did he conduct a multi-agency environmental impact study?

Betting on “arrested and sued into poverty with the year”.

He should have spent a little more on footings. Those stairs won’t last through winter.

The city will probably bill him for the cost of tearing out his work.

His steps probably weren’t ADA compliant.

This is a universal truth about government that the left refuses to acknowledge because it would doom their argument for big government. Look at how aid to the needy is distributed by government through welfare in comparison to the efficiency of organizations like the Salvation Army. Government loses, hands down.

Government always pads the bill. That’s why “single-payer” is such a bad idea, because what it really means is that every single health care dollar passes through the sticky fingers of government.

“So of course the city tore the steps down.”

Tore them down??

They should have mage a monument out of those steps with a big plaque honoring Adidas as a reminder of the corruption, waste and unresponsivenes of our so called “public servants”.

The people of that town should have gone in mass to stage a sit in on the steps when the city sent their vandals to destroy Adi’s steps. A great opportunity missed.

$65K for those steps????

When I moved to Washington (state) the fist thing I did was hire someone to build stairs so I could get down to my beach. I found the best guy in the area, waited a year for him to have time and he gave me a plan to build the whole thing for $29K. He wound up taking $2K off because I paid him the second half in cash instead of by check.

The staircase was well engineered. 30 foot pilings sunk into the side of the cliff. It was designed to allow natural falling of mud/soil that happens all the time there. In the event of a major collapsing of the hillside it was designed to have sections break away rather then pull the whole thing down.

The State of California, a few years ago “rehabed” a section of I-680 through Contra Costa County. At each underpass there were “handicapped yellow bumpy pads” that were surface mounted at the crosswalks that were at the bases of the on and off ramps ( the curbs were installed with the required wheelchair slopes, and the lights were in place to protect those wishing to transit under the freeway). Well the State had the contractor come in and jackhammer out all of that concrete and re-pour it with a depression for the yellow bumpy pads. So for what I estimate would be at least a dozen underpasses with four ramps each, the concrete was removed and replaced just so a 1/4” pad would sit flush with the surrounding concrete. Toronto has nothing on California for knowing how to pi$$ away the taxpayers hard-earned money.
