[Vision2020] RE: Therapy, usury, and getting the facts

"It is my opinion that a tax-exempt non-retail entity has ABSOLUTELY NO 
  BUSINESS (pun intended) being located in the heart of the Central Business 
  District."--Californian Tommy Hansen
  
  I disagree, as usual, with Tom. 
  
  There are many nonprofit organizations and services provided downtown  for the poor and disabled members of our community. In addition we also  have the art gallery, the Democratic Headquarters, a fire station,  churches, the police station, the high school, and even a free bulletin  board and playground for the kids all located downtown. Downtown should  not JUST be about profit and tax collection. If we as a community want  downtown to be for everyone and serve as a focal point for our  community, then downtown should be a place that provides a variety of  services for everyone, even things we ourselves may not engage in. If  downtown was only occupied by locally owned taxpaying retail  establishments then it would not be a focal point for the entire  community. 
  
  Take Care,

Simply because a lame commission cannot see the forest through the trees 
does not mean that I must roll over and play dead.  If there is one thing 
that I have learned in my life, it is:

"If you disagreee with a law, fight to change it."

There is still plenty of fight left in this old platoon sergeant.

One primary concept that I have learned from the gold-digging "management" 
of Anselm House and its Board of Adjustment:

Never, EVER trust . . .
