If you want to deface the American flag then please move to another country so we don't waste our Social Security benefits on you later.

My flag is part of my country. I find it unoffensive and frankly if your offended by my flag, leave

Whether we like it or not, a right is a right. I don't agree with flying certain flags, but it's their right.

It's my property, I should be able to do what I want on it as long as I dont harm others. Hurt feelings do not count.

We are losing our right to free speech. We need to prevent “normalizing” the desecration of our constitutional rights. This is what is bringing down America today

I may not like the flag (house color, screaming kids, drinking beer on their front porch, etc.), but it is their property. As long as they are not harming another, it is none of my business.

What do you mean by "All flags"? Russian? Chinese?

So if I make a flag that offends others it's should be protected by the constitution? I don't think so! Old flags were meant for their time, not ours!

The Constitution protects free speech; there is no provision on a right to not be offended.

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.

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

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

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.
