They could build two-three-times as as many units there as they could at the Sale Barn site and it is only 4 miles away.<br /><br />2) Get Ozark Regional Transit (o.k. - ORT won't do it because it might be a viable route -- go to Razorback Transit instead) and establish bus routes to the University based upon intelligent analysis of student population density AND University class schedules.<br /><br />3) Have Campus Crest build their student housing on a greater available land area along existing high-traffic transportation corridors AND offer a functional public transit option for the students. (Dump the Drake Field Corporate Welfare Project AND build some needed student housing that would allow the University to serve a larger population. <br /><br />4) Sell the Old High School to the University for enough $$ to build a proper facility (or two) for the additional University Student Population.<br /><br />5) Actually contribute to the economic growth of South Fayetteville.<br /><br />Ooops -- I forgot. South Fayetteville is still the po' folks ghetto. We don;t want any growth plans that benefit po' folks.<br /><br />-k-History Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794538304580536518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157940712861236775.post-81909262627532139922009-09-19T15:27:39.130-05:002009-09-19T15:27:39.130-05:00C'mon people, lighten up: it's called tric...C'mon people, lighten up: it's called trickle-down or p-on-you.<br />...<br />Yea though I walk through the valley of poverty, my rich people are with me. <br />Thy jet and thy staff they comfort me.<br />Thou preparest a skybox before me in the presence of thine enemies: thou anointest my head with jet fuel; my cup runneth over.<br />Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of recession; and I will dwell in the house of rich folk forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157940712861236775.post-68988699624289423392009-09-19T13:02:54.270-05:002009-09-19T13:02:54.270-05:00I like Ray, but I think it is time for him to save...I like Ray, but I think it is time for him to save face and retire.PHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157940712861236775.post-50300448118224396342009-09-19T08:34:28.581-05:002009-09-19T08:34:28.581-05:00Boodlerow is worthless, and the airport is losing ...Boodlerow is worthless, and the airport is losing money. How many local people actually use it? If Brenda insists on keeping Ray on the payroll and the airport open, why not charge users at least enough to break even?

Sit in a comfy airplane seat! See how the other 1% lives! Just ten dollars for adults, five dollars for children under twelve. No fuel costs, and I'd keep it in one of those empty hangars.<br /><br />All this for half the salary.David Frankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222279472555174813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157940712861236775.post-32089836711642765602009-09-18T19:24:36.822-05:002009-09-18T19:24:36.822-05:00.

I forgot how much we fork over for the privileged to keep their twin engine planes located about dead center in the city. <br /><br />Meanwhile the city cannot afford to fix the fountains at Murphy Park. Those fountains kept the water refreshed and prevented it from smelling like a sewer which it resembles today. <br /><br />Open sewers vs. airports for the elites. No question about priorities. <br />.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824887479667038548noreply@blogger.com
