Do what Eisenhower did. Pull money from the Pentagon. That is where our money goes. He was a general and knew his way around the military enough to understand how to do that correctly. Sadly, we don't have anyone in charge like that, so it will be a complete sh$% show.

Someone in my think tank mentioned that city residents pay a city parks tax. Maybe they should prioritize their spending. Sounds logical to me.

sure, they dont need it if previous 2 lane residential streets now ban on street parking and they figure out how to turn buses - wait! no more buses!



afaik the only bridge to nowhere in pittsburgh is a RR bridge up the mon....


being that it was also an emergency route, the county has to kick in as well


all thats missing is the new mayor to declare only minority owned companies can build it...

A 2019 Port Authority report said articulated buses have a curb weight of about 40,000 pounds, which includes a full tank of gas.

so that makes that official. (that would be a loaded curb weight btw)

Ahh yes, the border wall. Don't worry, private donations were solicited to finish the project. Of course that was just a scam. Don't worry, Trump was so upset that his people were bilked out of hundreds of millions to build his signature project that he pardoned the person responsible. Another banner moment for the Trump administration.
