During the city council working session today they discussed all the different non-profits and other services the city helps subsidize. As you can see, most is for kids, families, homeless, public parks, public art, etc., yet the biggest grifter at the trough is Forward Sioux Falls.
Speaking of subsidies, I was discussing over the weekend with some friends the new refrigerated ice rink, they seem to be confused about the gift and mostly the subsidy. I told them that it is funny we are spending close to $100 million in this area between private and public dollars, yet every night, Camp Levitt is open for business.
How about funding something that gives these folks a safe place to sleep for the night?
The only Forward Sioux Falls thing they’re doing is allowing for terrible awful master planning (no master planning at all!) and allowing casinos, vape shops, apartments, and gas stations to pop up in any little crevace possible. That’s the only growth we will see
Forward Sioux Falls is a TV game show. Contestants are corrupt insiders who take turns getting TIF’s. Wouldn’t it be nice if once in a while there’d be a homeless person win a car and leave town for somewhere with opportunity. Somewhere that’s not fast food or cubicle call center prison. Somewhere without prison cell dorms built by Sum Yung Lloyd.
Once again the ones who least need a hand-up receive the handout.
