Government is always the bad guy. Government just can't get their act together. When was the last time Government did anything right. Well folks, we are the Government and I can tell you exactly what we got right. We decided forty years ago in a effort to avoid urban sprawl, to concentrate development along the downtown/ Westside corridor.
