parking>garbage

this city is fucked.

the mayor said on the news tonight that the business owners of vancouver wanted the parking made an essential service rather than garbage pick up.

heaven forbid the city not be governed for bad parking, and instead be unsanitary and smell like shit for the rest of the summer.

good job.

without parking revenue, who would pay for the olympics?

aren't they raising the ferry and bus rates?

SMELLY TOWN IS EASIER TO RUN THAN A TOWN WITH NO PARKING

[Grapes]

Don't care about parking.

Pick up my garbage.

[esoter1c]

Just park on the garbage, problem solved.;)

Construct vehicles that don't burn fossil fuels OUT OF THE GARBAGE!

like an airline strike at christmas, a garbage strike should not happen in the summer

i'm pretty excited to see what my street looks like after four fireworks and no clean up

[robyn]

basically gonna catch leprosy

[Webber]

so long as i have a place to park when i go downtown

although I find it funny that they are lecturing us on how we need to recycle more and that this is a good opportunity to start

[.LxT]

Businesses that need parking available for themselves and their customers often enough pay extra for garbage removal to deal with volume etc. Naturally, they want what they're lacking.

Oh, you thought cities were run by "people power"

P.S. All right, I don't want to sound so bleak. It is an unfortunate state of events but nothing we can't fight a bit. If I remember the volume of the daily trash pile UBC generates correctly, I think a few trucks dumping that on all of city hall's parking area [night time, of course] should remind our shepherds exactly what's what. More appropriate and less likely to land you in jail would be to write to some of these people.

actually in the past few weeks most weather systems travel south to north, so your own smell will back up on upon itself creating a think concentrated strench of your own waste. also we are a higher up and the thick fumes from downtown will be to heavy to come up here.

We get winds from two different places:
- Southwest (Pacific)
- Northeast (Arctic)

They collide right around the 49th parallel fairly often. They tend to move inland (eastwards) as the ocean winds are generally a little more forceful (warm air is usually a stronger push than cold air). That's why a flight to Toronto is always faster than the flight back. So regardless of what the more recent inconsistencies may have been, our smells generally waft up the Fraser Valley. That's why Chilliwack smells the way it does every summer: combination of Vancouver pollution and all the farmland in Abbotsford.... not a pretty combo.

If I see another fucking mountain of Starpuke's coffee cups taking up space on the corners of Robson and Thurlow, again (like last strike), I'm gonna start throwing them, along w/ obscenities at all the stupid fucks sitting on the patio, not using re-usable mugs!

Don't be a target for me!

As my MSN name indicates, I've come up with the unique and effective solution of flushing all my garbage down the toilet.
