It's only small programs for the homeless, such as the 12 Tiny Houses, that will work... because they're small and relatively easy to control.

yep, it is. Sadly, it's the tragedy of the commons kind of stuff, though - you're creating an environment where the system can be gamed. The good old days of dumping old tires in the gullys and...

Rico Martin was a great soul, a presence for good, and friend of many in the West County area for the past several decades, and places far beyond. He was my dear friend and brother. He will be deeply...

Shepherd,
Thank you for asking this and other questions, which provide a way to move inward, which is where all feelings reside as responses or reactions to outer stimuli, and our own "self-talk".

Hello Dear Community,

As you all know by now, I am back in town and resting up. I want to deeply thank Scott McKeown for his initiative in posting my Facebook posts and then later, hosting me and...

Thanks for your healing words, Richard. :fie:

I know 5th district Supervisor race has been very emotional for many people, and many people are not happy about the outcome.

Perhaps I have been too lenient when it comes to allowing freedom of...

What's done is done. Let the cards fall where they may and let us all pledge to get behind and support whichever of these worthy women carry the day.

Thank you, Kitty. As head of the SEIU, Lisa Maldonaldo is responsible for at least $82,000 worth if BS hit pieces against Lynda, often using bogus and misleading claims and often having little or...

So which of our two choices for Supervisor of the 5th District has taken the most political donations over the course of their political careers (not just this election cycle)? And which one is most...

Yet more posting claiming opinion as fact. You assume things that may be reasonable to assume, but have zero evidence. Truthiness has taken over our world. You have a point of view and it lets you...

Yes, it is quite plain that Noreen has no plan, no goals, nothing specific to solve the issues and problems facing the 5th district. She comes up with some vague generalities like pot for potholes...

Just a little caveat scamper. It's informative to know your zeal is tempered by a paycheck.
