However, a $94 million parking garage would be a HUGE garage........especially if the stadium is not there anymore ! ;-)<br></p>WatchCatTue, 17 Mar 2009 16:55:22 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/8982#comment-6669685<p>Good grief! Doesn't anyone have anything productive to do? Such frenzied speculations are a waste of time. Let's all be calm until we find out exactly what the Laurel MS housing authority is asking for....and why!</p><p>After plowing through many of the postings, I believe the most thought-provoking comment had to do with Laurel's 60-year old streets that need attention before these silly doorbells....my neighborhood has streets 100 years older han that! Seems to me that WE and other locations with much older infrastructure should get ours before Laurel gets theirs. </p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 16:48:34 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/11615#comment-6669057<p>Street maintenance is a routine operating expense, not something that the entire country should have to pitch in for!</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 16:23:22 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/11240#comment-6668992<p>Anyone who can afford to own/operate a boat can darn well afford to pay for a new marina!</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 16:21:16 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/11275#comment-6668958<p>Let all those football teams share just a bit of their TV revenue to build the stupid garage.Geesh!</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 16:19:45 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/11280#comment-6668904<p>Does Miami really expect the rest of the country to be responsible for rebuilding its ENTIRE city? </p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 16:18:08 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/16921#comment-6661683<p>If this is such a great idea, then it will happen naturally!

They'll look great. If it's good enough for Ladue, then it should surely be good enough for Florissant.</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 14:03:33 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/5287#comment-6661285<p>What on EARTH are FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE going to do in this small neighborhood? It's outrageous and a true disgrace. <br></p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 13:59:40 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/5288#comment-6661224<p>Has the City of Florissant ever heard of a bond issue to pay for public infrastructure? If it's important to the residents, they will vote for it! If not......well, there's always the rest of us, who would be honored to step in and take over full responsibility of Florissant's sewers after we finish taking care of our own!!!!!</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 13:56:38 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/5290#comment-6661133<p>There is plenty of vacant space in retail centers that could easily accommodate these space needs for a tiny fraction of this outrageous sum! Such slobbering at the public trough is truly appalling.</p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 13:53:31 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/5286#comment-6661075<p>Obscene?

If this is such a great idea, some developer would be beating down the City Hall door to get TIF funding to make it happen! That way, the citizens of Florissant would be out tax money....not all the rest of us! </p>WatchCatThu, 26 Feb 2009 13:44:24 -0000http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/view/5289#comment-6660878<p>I'm so relieved that I don't have to admit I live in Florissant....It is embarrassing enough to live in the same COUNTY!
