You're the one who started the ad-hominem attack by calling me a "dummy". This is what qualifies you as a "scumbag", scumbag.

It takes people to make a downtown work. It takes people living and interacting with a downtown to solve the problems you're so lazily bemoaning. I will not take you seriously when you gladly admit you avoid the downtown at all costs. Maybe you should actually take another look at what is happening downtown, aside from the negative- small investors and artists have started to seed a transformation which is immediately spurring economic growth in a part of the downtown people like you gave up on long ago. And before you whip out your next talking point, these investors did so on their own accord, with little support from the taxpayer, if any.

Honestly, if you're so concerned about downtown, the worst thing you can do is to avoid downtown- if economic growth is going to take a foothold in the downtown, the people who work every day and all day to operate businesses in the downtown core need people to live, work and play in the core and support that renewal.

By complaining about the state of the core without offering ANY sort of solutions or ideas (beyond what, powerwashing?), you're a part of the problem. It's nonsense hyperbole like yours that reinforces the notion that downtown just can't be revitalized- and people just give up. It's a slap in the face of everyone who is constantly working to see this change happen- people who are far more valuable to this community than you are, you ignorant shit.

I implore you to start posting using your full name- I'm guessing you don't have the stones to say any of this garbage to my face. I will shove your false accusations of communism so far up your ass you'll be coughing up teabags.
