Sixth Avenue Area Charmer
We scan Craigslist for good homes in Tacoma on a pretty regular basis. Normally, all we see is junk. This one, on the other hand, seems to be the exception. In spite of the author’s propensity for excitement this home seems genuinely decent at $230k and a block north of Sixth. It’s under 1000 square feet, but the architectural originality seems to be reasonably intact. It includes a picket fence and window blinds. Anybody?
(Thank you Jake)

At the risk of sounding cynical, I doubt if the public testimony generated at the workshops is going to affect any of the city “priorities.”
What ARE the city priorities, you may ask?
Oh, that’s whatever the council wants to spend money on. The workshops are just political theater. The results of the workshops will be distilled into a brief powerpoint presentation supporting the status quo, then promptly roundfiled.
Perhaps the council members will sieze little tidbits of information (when it suits their purpose) and then proclaim “LOOK THE CITIZENS HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS AS A PRIORITY.” This way they cover their ass if it goes bad. They can say “BOY, THOSE WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS WERE SURE WRONG ABOUT THAT!”

Does anyone know if you can go to any of these, even if you can’t make the ones in your own district?

Jenny, you can attend any of the Community Budget Input Meetings, regardless of whether a particular meeting is in your Council District or not.
