It's as if the contractors did not use on rebar to reinforce underneath or skimped out on the concrete, and the sides of the seams are just caving in. <BR/><BR/>We need to sue all those contractors or make the do the job over--else they get no more contracts. <BR/><BR/>It's really bad!<BR/><BR/>This administration needs to forego giving out lobbying contracts and get legal working on fixing our crooked vendor problems.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, sweatpea's company was responsible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57343986974879865362008-03-10T21:37:00.000-05:002008-03-10T21:37:00.000-05:00I really think that's a typo...it's not unusual for the Star to mix up its geography, they recently called 2000 S Shelby "east side".<BR/><BR/>Cheapest single family home in 48201 is $229,900:<BR/><BR/>http://www.realtor.com/search/searchresults.aspx?zp=48201&typ=1<BR/><BR/>46201, 46203, and 46218 are REo central in Indy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-29978717194871570212008-03-10T12:15:00.000-05:002008-03-10T12:15:00.000-05:00So 10:15, I take that response as a "no", if you have to read a blog to replace firsthand observation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-85778366944923611552008-03-10T10:15:00.000-05:002008-03-10T10:15:00.000-05:008:13 Center Township is the reason we are now living in South Detroit, Indiana!!!<BR/><BR/>Please read the following link, which describes why Center Twp is worse than Detroit:<BR/><BR/>http://whoisakindele.info/2007/10/indianapolis-101-conservatives-must.html<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>P. S. Bart sent us into a downward spiral. We may never recover from it. While the rich got richer, including his expanded executive staff, the basic functions of city government were left stagnate and without the tools to do the job. The failure to continue ongoing capital purchases has the city in crisis. We can't just buy a fleet of snow plows, salt trucks, paving machines, police cars in one big swoop. Bart stopped the capital purchases, now we're in crisis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7000631289045975062008-03-10T08:36:00.000-05:002008-03-10T08:36:00.000-05:00Darn Dyslexia <BR/> burden above should be "burned"<BR/><BR/> Sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-77554278528793325022008-03-10T08:13:00.000-05:002008-03-10T08:13:00.000-05:00I always wonder if the people who compare Indianapolis to Detroit actually live and work in the same Center Township as I do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-88602463839736687642008-03-10T07:36:00.000-05:002008-03-10T07:36:00.000-05:00OT but I knew you could answer it.

Whenever the Detroit-Indy connection is mentioned, out come the crazies.<BR/><BR/>Hyperbole is fine in literature, people, but please. Detroit?<BR/><BR/>Look at the stats and the facts. Not even close.<BR/><BR/>(And can the Peterson blame game somehow get back to reality, and facts?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-36976983571437578412008-03-09T21:07:00.000-05:002008-03-09T21:07:00.000-05:00I'm not so sure this is a "Bart problem" as opposed to a lender problem. Last time I checked he wasn't responsible for giving out the loans or creating the schemes. The true culprits are the people that prey on the unwitting wanna-be-investor that simply doesn't know any better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-83957932752967595422008-03-09T19:42:00.000-05:002008-03-09T19:42:00.000-05:00I just find it hard to believe that<BR/>reporter Ted Evanoff, who wrote this for the Star would make that kind of a mistake. Granted, there is only one key between the 6 and 8buttons on his keyboard but damn, he should know what the hell the zip is where he works.<BR/>My feeling is that Ted knew those were Detroit zips when he wrote the article.<BR/>Even though I have many abandoned houses around me that the city refuses to help us with I still find this screwup funny as hell.<BR/>BTW, Detroit's now down to only just over 10,000 abandoned houses and the last estitmate from a person on the Mayor's staff put Indy's abandoned houses at 12,382.<BR/>Less than 4% of these are HUD homes so this deal with HUD is just a drop in the ocean.<BR/>I'd say we have a rather serious problem here. But the Mile Square area looks nice for visitor doesn't it. God help the tourists that wander out of that area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41371372722726319332008-03-09T17:51:00.000-05:002008-03-09T17:51:00.000-05:00You are so right about Bart Peterson and his "idiot" staff especially John "the drunk" Dillon!

Yes, Bart created South Detroit, Indiana.<BR/><BR/>http://whoisakindele.info/2007/10/indianapolis-101-conservatives-must.html<BR/><BR/>Remember Bart gave millionaires millions, a new football field, basketball arena for thugs constantly associated with criminal activity, failed to hire police for two years, did not replace aging capital equipment (ie: snow plows, salt trucks, police cars)...and he let crime increase so much that terrified people began an exodus of Indianapolis. <BR/><BR/>Can Indianapolis survive the TAX AND SPEND corruption of The Democrat Machine? -I'm just not sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-21111153543509626422008-03-09T17:38:00.000-05:002008-03-09T17:38:00.000-05:00I guess that answers a question I have had in my mind for a few years. A double rental home in poor condition was sold full price. Whoever bought it was never seen,no one tried to rent it or repair it, the house sat and sat until the following year the foreclosure sign went up. Reading the info on window it was an out of state bank and the owners name I tried to look up but was unsuccessful. Whenever I had purchased a home they checked everything -where every dime came from-beyond necessary. Yet this freeforall went on and now the taxpayers will pay and the economy is in the tank because of it. Prosecute them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
