Along
with the urban infrastructure debacle of 2009 until present, the city
despite being the 4th largest taxed city in the nation is also a
chronic waste of economic resources despite the high tax burden it
places on its resident and business community.
Dixie
Highway isn't the only place in Louisville that is a problem when it
comes to infrastructure and issues with falling apart infrastructure.
You can pretty much circle most streets in downtown Louisville, KY as
being bombed out cratered streets because of the lack of care and
maintaining such roadwork.
Instead,
Louisville's liberal leaning mayor has all of these mentally unhinged
ideas about sustainability and how he's going to make Louisville into
a sustainable city despite the fact that his city is falling apart at
the seams and with a weak economy and unsustainable debt issues not
only with the city but the publicly controlled Louisville Water
Company and Metropolitan Sewer District respectively LWC and MSD for
abbreviation.
LWC
can barely function being a mayor appointed public corporation where
the mayor of Louisville appoints those who run the government office.
Same with MSD being appointees and none too efficient seeing that
they've been running a debt of over 4 billion dollars. All for a city
and a service area of perhaps less than 800,000 people.
Former
Louisville Mayor and Lt. Governor Jerry Abramson oversaw MSD and LWC
during the years prior to current Mayor Greg Fischer got his hands
involved in the mess and has done nothing to really help anything.
Add in the fact that MSD spends and screws the ratepayers into the
ground every chance they get adds to the angst that many in the
community has towards the MSD.
Another
reason why Louisville sucks is the mamby pamby work done by the
Police Chief Steve Conrad and Mayor Greg Fischer to law and order
issues. Instead of cracking down on crime and going after those
enablers and criminals that are terrorizing the community, they
choose to ignore the problem or try to approach it with a politically
correct angle. Therefore, this politically correct nonsense is
further reason why in the last several years the crime problems in
Louisville, KY have spiked including a spike in murders to where
murders are at least 1.5 to 2 times more than they were only a very
few years ago. The 2016 Murder Count for Louisville, KY was 123 and
the 2017 count today November 1, 2017 is 141 with two months
remaining in the year.
Louisville
sucks also because of the unsustainable low wage economy that has
been created in the city over the past several decades. Louisville
used to have a higher wage structure economy than just about anywhere
that a person could get a good job and own a home and nice vehicle.
However, that is and has been going away for some time now since
those manufacturing jobs have been sent off to Mexico, China, and
other Third World sweatshops.
The
Louisville Solution: Have more service jobs and low wage employers
flipping boxes at part time hours and part time pay. Then maybe these
people might go full time although they'll entice you with the
Metroversity program, etc. If not, you can find one of the low wage
8.50 an hour or 9 dollar an hour job working at one of the fine
warehouses around the city that have been springing up for the past
couple of decades. All with extra tax breaks and economic incentives
while the taxpayer continues to get screwed into the ground.
If
that doesn't work for you, then Louisville has plenty of temporary
jobs working for maybe 2 or 3 months a year until you are unemployed
all over again or laid off like so many people go through at various
low wage employers.
