E-books are more portable and environmentally friendly. I can carry many books within my e-reader and read them at any time or place.

I prefer the convenience and easy portability. Feel the same way about video and music (streaming vs. physical products).

I tend to binge read books and read while traveling. I can size the print and put them on my iPad, thus saving space, though I do miss the books in my den/library.

My eyes are not as good as they used to be and e-books allow me to listen to the books I like.

I prefer audio downloads, CDs, ebooks in that order. I've tried to get the library to get more downloads and CDs, but they don't seem to listen. It's much easier to have a book on a Kindle.

Because the library does not do what you would like does not mean the "don't listen." It means they are trying to serve many patrons wanting various things.

Traditional, please!

But oddly I'm starting to prefer digital for comics.

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.
