That's actually being polite about it lol.

What would even possess someone to say something or propose something so stupid?

As soon as Apple fixes the bugs in the transporter app, only then do I see some relief for the BR traffic.

BRAF isn't part of the city government. Although I'm sure that's already been cleared up.

You'd think that traffic and crime would be among the top issues addressed by the candidates, but so far it's mostly been about north BR vs. south BR.

I still don't get how BRAF can come up with shite, get the taxpayers to fund it, make money off it, and then stick us with it.

For example, it looks like the IBM project might be the next taxpayer boondoggle that BRAF made money off of, if they did.

Nola

I am sure gondolas are a sound investment and all, but still, it's dumb.

Didn't IBM warn Jindal that if he passed his anti-LGBT legislation that they might either change their minds about coming to BR or drastically reduce the number of jobs? Does this have anything to do with why they are targeting the BR location?

Some friends of mine work in downtown BR and said the building is beautiful, but largely empty.

Downtown is so small, I doubt this is a viable solution.

They should put in a metro that runs from downtown to all of the trashy white flight-ers out in Shenandoah and AP. They're the real cause of all the traffic.
