is a smash and grab worth putting the community in jeopardy for?

Foot patrols and community policing have been shown to have positive effects on crime and community relations.

There are very good reasons for no chase policies. And I don't believe that CPD has a blanket no chase policy.

Honestly, the CPD was shiite even before the consent decree. The consent decree might actually be what they need to get their act together.

^ I sure hope the Sidaway Bridge gets put back into use as part of broader greenway plan.

^^ Perhaps, it's a lack of caring by the CPD. Maybe the people currently employed need to be replaced with folks that care about their job.

It's not a good reason to look at a pie in the sky solution. maybe the RTA board needs to be shaken up.

Where is the money for the amusement park ride?

^ you could do the same thing with rail improvements.

any attention being given to this amusement park ride should be given to fixing RTA and improving bus and rail.

Rail lines from the flats to west 25th already exist and could be improved cheaper than building a gondola

There aren't too many at coastal taco on super cold days making your example moot. People ride bikes all year long in Cleveland and don't lose limbs. They do it in Copenhagen too where it is much colder.

You'd be able to do the same thing with better light rail connections. Heck, you could ride a bike from coastal taco to town hall in 8 minutes.

And in a few years when this thing becomes like the people mover in Detroit we will have the ugly poles and cables all over Downtown.

^ 62% of millionaires are self made not 90%. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/269593 this is billionaires... it is 67% for millionaires but nowhere near 90% http://www.fa-mag.com/news/most-millionaires-self-made--study-says-14565.html

20 - 50 % of net worth comes from inheretence and gifts. I've provided data for this. You've provided bupkis.

^ It still makes your assumption wrong. The threshold for estate taxes is around $5.5 million per individual. That is the reason that estate taxes generate little revenue. Less than 0.1% of estates pay any tax at all.

^ In terms of net worth, inheritances and gifts have historically accounted for between 20 and 50 percent of total household wealth accumulation in the U.S. https://www.bls.gov/ore/pdf/ec110030.pdf I'm not sure where you got 90% from but my guess is your buttocks.

^ What can the gondola do that LRT can't do? besides move a lower number of people at a higher cost

^ It is because very few estates are actually taxable.

^ a streetcar is true transit a gondola is a stupid amusement ride. It will have to affect on the parking situation at all. Any money city money spend on this travesty is better spent improving bus or rail service.

This isn't about NIMBYism. This is stupid idea that should die already.

^ This will not do. I will not sit back and watch my city re-urbanize the CBD.

You forgot to mention the BRT stop right at the door.

The suspect is dead. He committed suicide in Erie, PA. This ordeal is over.
