all malaysians were force-fed with the BN inferior & divisive brand of patriotism, unity and harmony for so long. it was literally shoved down us, that we are so enlarged, confused, uncomfortable and too sick to even move. probably, then it is slaughter time. pray and hang on.

in Sheriff Anticipates Arresting Thousands During 2008 RNC on The Minnesota Independent
Um, think again I was literally just walking down the street in Manhattan and got swept up with everyone on my side of the street for two blocks during the RNC in 2006.
I was just trying to get to work. I was shoved, cuffed, sworn at, booked, printed and photographed. Now, I have a criminal record... to go along with my doctorate and the recently ruined Brooks Brothers suit.
In situations like these, the police don't want to think or care.

Oh, and BTW, I WAS a Republican.

in Abandoned Homes = Abandoned Future? on Indiana Barrister
Irvingtonian,
No harm no foul. It's good to see people wanting their neighborhood to be a safe place for their family to live. I think it's a fundamental right for people to be able to improve where they live and be given the (policy) tools and/or due process to do so. There really are a lot more people that think the same way than are heard from. All it will take are a few key people in key places to get the ball rolling.
Unfortunately the only way we are going to rid the city of abandoned housing is removal. Weed and Seed is popular funding for that type of initiative. I'm not a legal or policy expert, but your neighborhood organization should look into becoming a non-profit (such as 503c). For a good number of grants you have to be a local government or non-profit to qualify.
If the City won't remove abandoned houses/absentee owners for you, do it yourself. Ultimately, City/County government is there to serve you and it's high time people took back their neighborhoods.

Irvingtonian,
I believe you missed my point. If you can get away with something such as putting up a large white sign in a residential neighborhood with no one noticing, how can you stop crime in the same areas? This is even more evident when those same people are trying to conceal themselves or their activities. You can't stop what no one reports or notices and there aren't enough officers for them to be proactive. Aside from neighborhood organizations raising the money for demolition themselves, the abandoned houses are just going to sit there. There is no incentive for people to fix them since the property values have collapsed in those areas due to crime, blight or absentee ownership.
Girl Friday,
The ordinance has been in place for at least 4-5 years, read the exempt signs clause for political opinion signs. Had it met the size requirements, the City couldn't mess with it.

While zoning ordinances can be confusing, and occasionally obstructive, it does help to keep the rest of the major avenues from looking like East Washington. I do find it fairly amusing that someone went through all of that trouble to create a sign that size (with City emblems no less) and NO ONE SAW WHO DID IT. The thing is on 4x4's it's not like you can just pound them into the ground.
The real root of the problem is that there are far too many abandoned houses still standing anduntil people stop sipping the Empty Promise brand of Democrat Kool Aid in Center township, it's going to continue. Is it a big surprise that the NE51 and NE53 police beats consistently outrank the rest of near downtown with police runs. And those are just the things that are reported. Both beats have a huge amount of abandoned property. How many houses in Center township, not in Fall Creek Place or a historic district, actually gained value? Seriously, I'm curious.
Another big question (for Mr. Rutherford specifically), when will a third party candidate emerge for City Council or even for mayor?
I hate myself for agreeing you, but yes Wilson, national priorities are currently not in the interest of the nation. Money talks, bulls**t walks, as the saying goes.
