If it wasn't already labeled historic and landmarked why didn't the owners just raze it before it became an issue on the theory that it's better to say "oops, so sorry" than to ask for permission?
What the owner did was horrible and he should face stiff punishment, but the dog should have been put down instead of investing many thousands of dollars in medical care for him. It shouldn't be policy to release a dog that is a known threat to other peoples' pets into an unsuspecting community.
It doesn't seem right that you can't go to someone's home or office to install a piece of glass in their car, but you can install it in their building. In both instances you're traveling to their location to perform the same work.
Perhaps Jason could get a job in code enforcement. He seems particularly adept at that.
I SOLD it 20 years ago. The mobile home's about 47 years old now.
That's not necessarily true. I sold my about-1968 mobile home in Boulder 20 years ago for $9.5K to buy a house. Just for grins about 5 years ago I looked it up on the Treasurer's site, and it showed it had most recently sold for around $25K. I was completely shocked. It's just a typical, basic 12x60 mobile home that to this day the exterior looks just like it did 20 years ago, so I can easily see an old larger, decently-maintained mobile home going for around $40K today. SF home and condo prices are out the question for a whole lot of people and rentals are sky high.
It's probably best to showcase those who abuse the system. By making us aware of it, we at least have a chance of seeing that changes are made.
At $55K there is no earthly reason why a single person should qualify for any assistance program once the kids have reached 18. There are other families out there with far less income that are deserving of that subsidy. Taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing all of the debts (financial choices) she has rung up over the years. She can play the system forever by turning down raises or taking them in a less transparent way (e.g., employer paying more towards her insurance or giving her additional time off) in order to stay below any income limit they set.
It's not about arrogance, it's about being a police officer in a position of trust who knowingly, willfully and with lengthy premeditation, conspired to commit and committed multiple criminal acts, and then engaged in a coverup. If that doesn't deserve a year in prison, I don't know what does. No wonder the Boulder police behave the way they do.
Meanwhile, Joseph Dowler of Lafayette, who was poor and slow-witted, was sentenced to 60 years for the beating death of his child and died in prison after 10 years. The Midyettes, who had money, privilege and opportunities, are basically out in 6 years. Nope--no sign of any special treatment here. Tanner Dowler got justice, Jason Midyette did not.
