Or at least having ample stacks to browse rather than a multi-million dollar library serve us up our books with a latte and cream puff.

(BOISE)KIND of waste to see how far Devious Dave and The Master Bieters can spend, overweight, mentally ill, homeless peoples HARD EARNED money.
It is obvious that Devious Dave should have spent survey money when City hall was being redone as he could have posed for the Couch Pic.

Most likely, Virtruvian submitted their bid for the report and it was awarded to them. And what would the planning company owner be voting on? I love the overall attitude here. I’m fat, lazy, and the last thing I need is someone pointing that out to me. I’m sorry that they illuminated your foibles. Carry on!

Toting the pesky bones of our city’s heritage to less inconvenient resting places makes about as much sense as concocting “exciting staircases” in the new $103 million events center/library, doesn’t it?

For all the readership here saying,” libraries are not needed since everyone gets their media in digital version”– please see the photo again:
A paper book!
Maybe he checked it out at his local Library!

Doesn’t take a paid study to know Boiseans (Americans) are too fat and poor. Should public facilities try to remedy that? Sure, but the architect already knows that too.

So why is Vitruvian Planning, a local Boise company ripping off the poor, fat people of Boise? Shameful!

What decisions did Danley vote on?

Will same masses rise up and smite Team Dave and his hired factotums (and the kiss a$$ City Council?

Here’s my proposal for them…..
1)Ditch the electric scooters and supply bikes for exercise.

2)Instead of a new library, where people sit…oops, I mean stand around and read books and look at computers, they should build a gymnasium, with all kinds of equipment hooked up to generators to offset the costs.

3)Install ladders, not stairs, in all city government owned buildings, cuz that will be REAL exercise, maybe even ROPE ladders, while eliminating elevators altogether.

4)Replace jet airliners with hot air balloons as main form of air travel at the Boise Airport. Travelers will learn about how to catch wind currents to reach their destinations. For upper scale air travel, dirigibles powered by cycle powered electric engines can be built. NO SMOKING allowed…remember the Hindenberg!

5)Only allow UPSTREAM travel on the Boise river. THAT will get those bodies in shape! Paddling like a madman against 8000cfs does wonders for the soul.

6)All City parks will have dangerous animals hiding in the trees and bushes to chase you. This will ensure brisk sprints to trim off those pounds.

7)All City owned buildings will have 24/7 flat screen TVs beaming Dr Phil at you, to improve your mental infrastructure.

Now, and I’m serious here…..all City employees need to have couch time with Dr. Bruce Levine (a REAL good psychologist) that can talk them all down from their totalitarian towers of power.
