My family and I think this is what our city leaders have in mind in NEEDING to raise the sales tax in Sioux Falls so please vote for the tax raise as we (Uncle Rusty and Grumps don’t agree but will not speak up at city hall because they think the coffee and cookies are poisoned by Vernal Brownie – what a pair of paranoids they are) think these Clayface Jamison (not related to current council member Bob Jamison, Jr. so no ethics whinyness needed here, SodaPopsickle) and Bob Gnats developers need better artery streets on their new development projects to ensure financial gains as the article below states.
More pointless development – YEAH!
Grampa Grumps Gumption used to work at this rural-urban center business (see photo of him outside selling merchandise in a high-spirited manner to city-slickers), and it is still “booming” thanks to the steady sales tax that the city of Sioux Falls has collected from loyal citizens for thousands of years to help beautiful Sioux Falls rural-urban centers prosper like this one. Most of my family are looking forward to living in and shopping at the new visionary Jamison & Gnats rural-urban center, and we owe it to them by paying higher taxes for their projects/profits because our council members represent us and vote for what’s best for us. THAT is why we sleep well for most of the night…
Sincerely,
EggBert Tib. Fr. Ich. Go.

When will the city quit letting idiot developers pave over cornfields to keep up suburban sprawl? We have all kids of space in town that’s either empty or under-developed that would be perfect for re-development. Lets use the land and infrastructure we have before using up new land and building more roads/pipes/street lights/sidewalks/etc.
And people wonder why the city can’t keep up with road repairs.
Exactly. Not to mention all the incentives for first time homebuyers if you buy in SF proper!
The crux is though that developers and realtors make a bigger profit margin selling NEW crackerjack / slap together homes, and it is driven by greed.
I know a sub-contractor here in SF that works on ‘interior’ construction of the newer developments, he said they are very poorly built, and probably are maintenance free for maybe 12-15 years at best.
I’m glad I bought a house from the Jimmy Carter era then. Very well-insulated and sturdily built, though they used some pretty crappy siding that will have to go before we sell the place.
Was it made out of peanut shells?
Sometimes I wonder…
Or ‘Billy Beer’ cans?
