There are some nasty diseases that gene editing could eliminate. We'd have to be careful though.

The entire idea is messing with nature, and there's a large chance these types of things could go wrong.

I'm all for stopping disease and chronic disorders, but humanity has proven itself to be arrogant, it will not end there.

THIS IDEA IS INHUMAN!! IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED AND A LAW MADE FOR IT TO BE ILLEGAL!!

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Michael Turpin

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

Jay B Lane

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.
