*A family of 4 (like mine) has to make less than povery line to qualify for that. Was shocked after a miserable yesar of income 2021-22 how low that bar is.

In the meantime, my house had $20k uninsured hail damage from Aug 2024, but city said my house went up $19k in value for a higher tax burden on a higher property tax rate. Fml...

But back on point, I do recall when they built Wells Fargo stadium. Watching a game, they panned from under construction site to the Wachovia Spectrum where the game was getting played.

The Green Line? Screw that. The Green Line is being de-railed (Haha! Train joke!) simply because it was proposed by a competing Government. They'll eventually build the stupid thing but they'll call it something stupid like 'The Smith Line' or something equally dumb.

Is that stupid? Sure. But but it has nothing to do with the arena.

Our Governments are going to waste money. Short of electing me, people are just going to have to suck it up and make peace with it.
