Not really; living in an "all electric" house, I have kept track of my electric utility bills for the last 13 years. The cost of my Pacific Power Electricity has increased at an average rate of 2.9% per year, which I find quite reasonable.

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.

It's jumped so much from last year. I retired recently after nearly 45 years at company but might have to work part time just to make ends meet. So unfair to the elderly, and poor who have a hard time deciding what's most important for survival. Food, shelter, medications or heat. Corporate greed.
ReplyI have oil stoves & oil is over $5 a gal.!!
ReplyMy C.N.G. bill increased 105% over last December. Yikes !
ReplyYes it's costing quite a bit more to heat our home this year. PP&L obviously raised their rates.
