Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

I buy local any time I can. I also will never use self check outs.
ReplyI'll pay more to go to the store to see the items I want. People who go to a retailer to shop, then buy online are stealing. I want these stores here. I'll buy online if I can't find it locally.
ReplyI prefer to buy local but can't always find what I want without running all over town.
ReplyWhile selection can be limited, there are unadvertised perks to shopping local: you get to see the item before paying, you know who you're buying from, cash is accepted, and no waiting for shipping!
ReplyI hate sitting at a computer to shop. Then spending more money and time making sure the order arrives safely in my hands, rather than a thief's hands once it is delivered to my door step!
