So they have to call streetcar supporters "urban snobs." It's pathetic that this organization that I used to once support has been downgraded to jokes about 9/11 on Twitter and name calling.<br /><br />The streetcar sucks. but it's coming and Monzel is just going to make Hamilton County spend moreBris Chortznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721799301702528076.post-78604510356598897342012-01-04T00:37:58.661-05:002012-01-04T00:37:58.661-05:00I encourage all the urban snobs to organize a peti...I encourage all the urban snobs to organize a petition campaign to advocate for their spending preferences. If you guys don't want highways and bridges, by all means work hard to stop them. But I doubt you'll get much support beyond the likes of Governor Candace Klein, Katy Croissant, Jake Meck, Korean resident Randy Simes, or vicious racist Jenny Kessler.Eliminate Roadsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721799301702528076.post-9155487066069058192012-01-03T17:01:40.211-05:002012-01-03T17:01:40.211-05:00Have at it huh?

However, I agree that too many of my extra-city brethren willfully ignore the fact that we are huge public welfare recipients in the form of our roads, while they whine loudly about inner city transit projects. I admit this much though, which is why I am OK with the streetcar.S.

The EASIEST and CHEAPEST time to upgrade and repair them is going to be when they're already re-locating other utilities for the streetcar, which IS happening (Remember, COAST failed in two elections to stop it). Monzel and the county have the responsibility of footing that bill as they own the sewers.<br /><br />Moron Monzelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721799301702528076.post-7589956355653069602012-01-01T21:10:15.023-05:002012-01-01T21:10:15.023-05:00This is all about Cincinnati trying to pass along ...This is all about Cincinnati trying to pass along streetcar costs to everyone else.
