I just read the other day where my favorite movie complex, BayWalk in downtown St. Petersburg, is actually looking for a 'buyer' due to the foot traffic of downtown St. Petersburg conveniently bypassing this colossal real estate investment by Sembler.
How can this be?
I thought that 'free-market economic principles' were the supposed panacea for all problems in the U.S.?
Well, Toto, we're not in Kansas!!! :-)
It turns out that Pinellas County residents VOTE WITH THEIR FEET!
If Sembler and other supporters of the failed laissez-faire system perpetuated by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, et al cannot 'turn a profit' on their own investments (without siphoning off of public support!) then why do they think that such bad fiscal policy will somehow fix 'our problems?'
BayWalk charges too much for food, and so we end up eating at Chipotle Mexican!
BayWalk charges too much for clothing, and so we end up going to Old Navy.
Sorry, but when left to the free-market, your laissez-faire economic ideology produces smog-filled suburbs, gas-guzzling SUV's, $4 - $5 per gallon gas prices and inner cities that are becoming intoxicated war-zones complete with drugs, gangs, and even the homeless left to camp out in the normally beautiful public parks.
So if you want your children to side-step the unemployed wino as you vault over broken bottles and as the only movie theater in the downtown area prepares to go under, then VOTE REPUBLICAN!
BUT, if like Pinellas County Commissioner Welch (who works with Faith-Based Groups and tries to safe-guard the urban landscape . . .) you wish to make America beautiful again, then I guess Obama is the FUTURE!
(now, if only we could convince that murdering babies, and homosexual unions are not good moral responsibility, then we'd have a perfect world ushered in through the next election!)
