@shaddupsevenup: Given the zeal of the bylaw enforcement officers in the first two weeks that we moved into our place (we were busy getting the interior livable before we tackled the exterior) and the seemingly endless spare time that individual had to hassle new Hamiltonians, much of your argument falls flat.

Regarding not wanting to do their job on their offtime? Hey, I'm sorry, but welcome to the real world. I'm not paid to keep my education in my field up to the expected standard of an employer, but if I don't do that work, it's going to get noticed. Perhaps if some of our public servants had a little less orwellian doublespeak and remembered that there's more to doing a good job than punching a clock, maybe they'd be as proud of our city as many of the Intentional Hamiltonians who specifically chose this city.

Oh, and having to take a course on good legal note taking -- if you can't do the job and aren't willing to undertake the training required, please step aside, I can think of dozens of extremely over-qualified people who'd be more than happy to step into your obviously too tight shoes.

WHY is it that so many Hamiltonians are so willing to accept abject mediocrity? Waiting for the man to do something about it? Guess what - we are all "the man" and we are all in a position to better this place - a 1% increase in "giving a shit" by each member of our community would make this place so much better, most olde tyme Hamiltonians would shit an I beam.

Excuses and prevarication are the go-to tools of the weak willed - it's what keeps you down and holds the rest of us down with you.
