					<description><![CDATA[Hmmm, I am little amused that so many things being listed are negative. Boise is changing, yet I still am in love with Boise, been here over 30 years and knew when I was 19 this was my destination (came over the border from Eastern Oregon for a legal drink)... it was a while ago.   

My resolutions would be that we advance our City&#039;s relationship with a governor that seems to want to governor more than his party and just rural Idaho.  

The watchdog on-line groups continue to grow and inform the citizens-ACHD watchdog and Vanishing Boise come to mind 

We closely follow the big changes coming in our hospital/healthcare and university platforms -  with pay for service moving on and  new Presidents coming - Kustra show us how one person can make a big impact on a town.  

That we start realizing why Trump came and why Dave B stays in office and take those learnings and put some teeth into the things we need to change 

I am thankful for the boiseguardian.com and look forward to all the 2019 discussions]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I appreciated your column today and the good ideas you proposed.  One of my priorities is that our city leaders need to learn the meaning of the word FRUGAL !!!

I realize that Mayor Bieter would like to have monuments in his history as mayor of Boise, but enough is definitely enough. There will be no next term beginning in 2019. Let&#039;s make our wishes known by voting for leaders who believe in quality for Boise and not just quantity and high taxes...

EDITOR NOTE--You need some viable candidates first.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Excellent choice for New Year&#039;s resolutions we would like to see. 
Can I add ticketing red light running boneheads? Apparently our state legislators don&#039;t think we need cameras at busy intersections. (Head scratcher here) Having had several near misses due to texting or road rage...take your pick...both dangerous scenarios enforceable. 
Happy New Year Dave!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wishes - - long shots for sure...but we can hope:

1. A Boise Mayor more interested in what the citizens think than what he does.
2. A Boise Mayor that would represent the other 49% (other then those north of the river) of the city that he ignores.
3.  A City Council that would do #1 and #2.
4. A City leadership that would listen rather than ignore testimony and the concerns of voters.
5. A city leadership that would quit spending and cut tax rates and levies by 25% and cut the city budget by the same.
6. Changes to the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Boise that preserves the unique features of the south bench and west bench before they are gone due to skinny houses and apartments.
7. Removal of all Urban Renewal districts and the elimination of the CCDC.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The GUARDIAN should RESOLVE to cover the effects of the pending collapse in real estate as house prices inevitably return to their historical average of 2-3 times median household income, which implies a 50% or greater collapse in median local house prices as the Federal Reserve continues to withdraw liquidity and raise the Fed funds rate and also as psychology changes where houses are no longer perceived as a meal ticket to easy money, and instead are perceived as BOAT ANCHORS that are rapidly declining in price.

Additionally, the GUARDIAN should RESOLVE to frequently cover the financial status of the many apartment and commercial building projects that have been built all over the Treasure Valley in recent years.

The collapse in real estate prices in 2019 will provide the GUARDIAN with many opportunities to cover the effects of the 2nd collapse in real estate in a little over a decade.  Such effects may include partially completed abandoned housing developments, bankrupt housing and commercial developers, financial strain on the state and local governments, foreclosures, short sales, bank owned properties, and a surge in related unemployment as construction workers, Realtors, mortgage brokers, Tommy Ahlquist and Corey Barton line up in front of the Boise Rescue Mission for a hot meal and a cot to sleep on for the night.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I too support the points you have made and here is my wish list.

Cooling off period for new construction of any kind. There is a large amount of empty commercial buildings in Boise and yet someone needs to build, build, build. 

Ban right turns on red. A red light turning right means stop not look at me in the intersection and keep going and I have to squat because you didn&#039;t want to stop. A right turn usually means use caution but since driver&#039;s training is now computer based laws don&#039;t mean anything anymore.

As for texting it should also apply to the police in their cars. NO EXCEPTIONS! You have a radio use it. You need a map pull over that&#039;s why you have a lightbar. 

Stop dreaming about a desire named street car. Fix the current bus system like Portland or Salt Lake and then we&#039;ll talk.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I whole heartedly embrace your first and last points.  Leading with the weather drives me howling at the screen crazy.  We very, very rarely have weather that is newsworthy, let alone the lead story for KTVB.  It is either heat or snow, big woo.
Corporate incentives and exemptions don&#039;t pay for themselves and our robust economy is not linked to these breaks.
Urban renewal is a great tool in a toolbox with little else.]]></description>
