Bieter must go!

So the Airport’s mitigation plan is essentially demolishing Boise, and more of it, so the rest of us can hear the roar of F-35s till the useless planes get decommissioned.
Can we just scrap the planes right now?

Boise would be a real nice place to live if not for politicians, lawyers and real estate speculators. Most notorious of our leaders are all that in one person.

In case of the airport, it seems they are trying to sell the land around it to more than one user.

I think if Lockheed Martin wants to place F-35s in Boise, they should buy 3 miles around the airport, its future contours, after 3rd runway is extended and F-35 get brought in.

I suspect Bieter and friends are motivated by the money they can make as middlemen. Anything that causes buckets of federal money to be spent in Boise is good for the local middlemen.

There is a very good article about why Angela Marcel basically single handedly caused the worst European social crisis since WWII… and she still continues to make it worse. The article basically says these leaders who are in office for too long, become insulated aloof elitists who no longer identify with the commoner. Nor do they care about the commoner. The commoner will have to pay taxes no matter what, so no need to care about them. An oligarchy forms due to robotic brand loyalty voting and very small turnouts. These leaders then do what’s best for themselves and their closest political/business partners.

I believe Bieter sees the entirety of the Bench as Boise’s riffraff zone. The old power and money inhabiting the Bench river bluff has died off. There is no one left on the bench who can stop him. Dozing it and redeveloping new stuff paid for with Obama money allows him to rebuild it in his personal vision/preference as well as make loads of money for himself and friends. Change forced by a noisy military airplane is a godsend to these greedy elitists.

The F35, The train, the stadium, CWI campus, etc etc. All unneeded and hugely unprofitable public money projects designed to milk the cow for the middlemen.

I once by happenstance was leaving a building as the mayor and his entourage was entering. I politely and appropriately said “hello Mayor Bieter” in passing without breaking stride. It was no different from typical polite greeting of anyone we might pass closely to. Typically a polite greeting reduces stranger tension when we must pass through doorways or ride planes with strangers. I was not startling or threatening in anyway, but he and his people looked startled. I felt as though I had done something wrong, thus it was apparent to me the elitism has set in.

Rick.
Boise is a City, and to a city its citizens are (supposed to be) precious.
But, I heard F-35 are quite expensive too.

What is ludicrous is that you think it is up to Mtn Home… Maybe they should expand Mtn Home move the A10’s and the rest of the guard, both army and AF down there. I am sure the town could use the influx of money that would result from all those full time guard boys selling their houses in BOI and moving. While were at it why don’t they move the VA hosp. down there too. That would rid BOI of all those pesky military folk.

Boise doesn’t have a Nouveau riche. We have Loma Prieta transplants…

Inna – Interesting conspiracy theory, and possibly true.
(In a time of universal deciept, conspiracy theories are all we have)
Another might be that they are demolishing all the houses close to the National Gaurd base to create a more defensible buffer for the time when our corporate government goes full Totalitarian on us.

Perhaps we can get the local refugee population to complain about having Taliban killers based in Boise? Bieter will listen to them.

Yes, we know. It is frustrating to discuss it. Complaints and questions to city leaders fall on deaf ears. Some people unaffected by the threat of losing their homes call us whiners and suggest we are unpatriotic. It is a wait and see situation. And, of course, anyone trying to sell must disclose the possibility of being forced out.

Inna – good idea!

Laree- I am not complaining about the noise. I am complaining about being forced out of my home. There is a huge differnce between the two.
