when is census is up, you get more staffing, when it's down, you get less staffing. when these are greater in one part, then you add to that part. if it's less need then you take away funds. i'm not saying that planning and zoning is doing such a great job they shouldn't build anymore but they have to consider that munis is broken so maybe part of the budget should go to fix munis and get that fixed up. that's one thing. another thing is that supervisor wiener says projects are taking too long to build, to get done and that needs to be fixed. well, on the other hand we have this other issue about extending the time. you can't have it both ways. so, if you want projects to go fast, maybe you ought to encourage them to get moving. sort of like the stock market, when it's low, when the property value is low, you make an investment i'm going to do it when it comes and get the property much cheaper and this thing about funding or lack of money. they are playing a game. this is a stock market game or the the land property game. buy it low, cheap, and wait until it goes up
