read the script

Is the Optimist guy going to run on a platform of ANY issues? Or is he just going to go with the issues and dialog that Billy and Garcia give him? IE We somehow, NEED this expensive gym so that the contractors can buy a new car! Price is NO object! Its immaterial! IRRELEVANT! We will pay whatever the contractor wants - 300%, 400% or more in profits, no problem! DOZENS of change orders almost guaranteed because we have NO CLUE about planning ahead of time! We couldn't even figure out that bathrooms might need water, sewer, and electric hookups! The forgotten possibilities and change orders on the new gym are ENDLESS! Parking and height problems? NO PROBLEM, as we will just give our self variances that wouldn't even be seriously considered for the average residents! Its not a problem (for us) because when our funds get low, we will just raise the residents taxes and fees! NO real PROBLEM! The residents MIGHT get cranky when we hose them repeatedly, but they are manageable if we just continue to dazzle them with BS! Simple. All Mr Lob has to do is recite the script!

forgotten details

The point is being made that there are parking problems NOW on those TWO DAYS a week that the gym is fully utilized. Is there anybody who is suggesting that a new gym will bring in LESS people? Of course not, it will bring in MORE people and make the parking problems there EVEN WORSE! More thought needs to be given to the parking situation and a solution found. Off-site parking is NOT the answer to everyday parking problems that already exist, and will get WORSE woith a new gym and more activities. It is generally a good thing to get more residents involved in the gym activities but it DOES place an undue burden on the residents who live in that area on a daily basis already, and it will only get worse if better planning is not done. This parking problem sounds a lot like the FORGOTTEN bathroom hookups, a detail that wasnt anticipated or planned for very well in advance, or even handled adequately once it WAS realized to be a necessity for the functioning of the facility and a problem.
