					<description><![CDATA[Mr Kangas has a great idea to make it an improved park- courtesy of Ada County.  

It could be an alternative to the monopoly Boise City has on parks for costly user fees at their parks; an alternative to terrible parking at Botanical Garden for concerts; and simply another venue for outside events, sports, music or otherwise- that is closer to the West residents. More &#039;competition&#039; and space in the parks world.  

As the population moves west, so should OUR (not just City of Boise) riverside parks. 

Ada County states on their Parks webpage:
&quot;THE VISION 
Our Vision is to have a connected system of pathways on land and water on and near the Boise River from Lucky Peak Dam to the Snake River that binds the recreational, educational and economic opportunities of our river communities.&quot;

Here is their chance to add to that vision, and PROVE IT.   
I rescind my point of selling it.  Keep and save for the county park system.  

Ada owns the Barber Park for floating. Maybe even a Barber to Glenwood standard recreational float? Cheers!   

NOTE: the piece of the Fairgrounds most of us see at the Glenwood intersection is actually already a park - Ladybird Park.   All the better to have a blend of parks and a multi-use facility in that spot. 

 NOTE 2: Garden City is really weak on their parks system, instead relying on Boise&#039;s Park Dept such as Quinn&#039;s, Veteran&#039;s, Willow Sports Complex, and now Ester Simplot Park. 

No high expectations from any of us though, right?  Ada County should already have this &quot;future plan&quot; in the works.  Grade: Fail!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It would be stupid to &quot;give&quot; in piece of Expo Idaho to anybody, especially Garden City.  Now if Garden City or a private enterprise or even the State of Idaho wants to buy part or all of Expo Idaho, and make a serious offer, I think the county should at least listen.  Regardless of what happens, somebody should pay Ada County/Expo Idaho.  All profits should be used to either enhance the existing site or used at a new site for the fairgrounds.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ &#039;Are You Out of Your Mind?&#039;

I do not think people on welfare should be allowed to vote.  Yes that&#039;s right.  Take government handouts and lose some rights.  Although welfare use is not one of our biggest threats it does cause people to vote for more welfare rater than joining society and the workforce.

Affordable housing is welfare (to the builder-developer too).  The expansion of welfare population causes expansion of government, expansion of crime, generations of underachievers, etc.  More taxes on fewer people, neighborhood segregation, neighborhood blight, and a dozen other undesirables.  Ask a honest school teacher who the hopeless most troubled kids are.  Ask the clinic or ER who wastes the most time and money.  Handouts do not help people long term.

Want affordable?  Move to a ghetto city rather than build a new ghetto here.  We’d be much better off with my cruise ship full of drunks idea.  Not out of my mind.  Sane and logical.  (Tip: 3M makes the best duct tape to hold YOUR head together when Trump replaces RBG and probably one more after that)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reality check!  First objective should be to tear down and rebuild Hawks Stadium on the Fairground site.  Sorry team Dave...but it&#039;s the most cost effective, environmentally sound, accessible and simply the right strategy for both the baseball public and the tax payers.  Number two: build a park along the river or on the race track grounds.  Number three:  Turn the property over to Garden City developers and let the creativity and private development begin.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am in favor of tearing down all of the structures, pulling up the pavement and turning the site into a big wildlife sanctuary, right in the heart of Boise.  The county could buy out the new owners of Plantation golf course, and make a larger sanctuary straddling both sides of the river.  We need a little more nature and a lot less development here in Boise.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last time LeBois shut down, I helped pick up the pieces. I, and some of my friends, helped a lady who was stuck with 28 unwanted race horses. Shutting down the track is going to put a lot of great horses in a very precarious position, again. You’d think out of state buyers would snap them up, but for some reason, that’s not the case.]]></description>
