Affordable Care Act bringing jobs to Lawrence

Ugh...Legal issues regarding the "greater good" are commonly used in U.S. law. I'll continue to roll my eyes at comments like this.

Um...Hussein Care? Credibility = Zero after that comment. It's his middle name, good lord.

Yes, there are issues with it. However, this is for the "greater good." The moment you start ranting about this article being compared to Pravda in the Soviet Union, people stop taking you seriously.

City agrees to create resident-only parking zone on street near KU campus

I wouldn't even waste your time with this one...the answers you'll hear from people will baffle and cause you to slam your head against a wall. Just move on and save yourself some frustration. :)

I will agree with you on one thing (can't believe I just said that). Not sure how two spaces is going to be a good "pilot study." If they want to offer up permitted parking in their neighborhoods around campus to alleviate this problem, they should probably just plan it and present it in full at public meetings. That area that you were discussing around the Oread is nuts and I would hope for this type of plan if I lived there.

High congestion areas are a pain in the butt, especially in college towns. Go up Illinois Street when classes are in session...streets are littered with cars from people that don't live there. I'm sure it's like that in other areas around campus too. All this does is allow neighborhoods around campus a little breathing room so people that live there can park on the street if needed. I'm sure the cost of the permit more than makes up for what you call their "benefit" of having the same chance of parking outside or relatively close to their home than less-congested neighborhoods do. It's a no-brainer.

I do agree with you there...should be all or none. I trust the local news will stay on them about this and start asking more questions if it's not expanded or simply done away with.

Good job Alceste, but you're talking to a few brick walls here. It's like they have that "oh my God, oh my God" reaction when anything new is presented. How's it gonna work...do they get refunds on their taxes...etc. I'm amazed sometimes...
