I would find a new vendor for the baskets since $300/each is too much. Then we wouldn't need as many sponsors and fundraising efforts.

How about fixing the roads, lowering taxes.. No way our taxes should be spent on flowers.

I appreciate the beautiful flower baskets all over town, but, no, that is someone else's responsibility.

If you want to spend money on this town why don't you make productive decisions in the beautification process. Like useful trees and plants like herbs and fruit trees. Or if you're so set on flowers plant native wildflowers that reproduce every year.

City should pay, they aren't improving roads so why should we pay for flowers. I don't go down town because city prefers to cater to those who don't live here

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
