Bad Bad Neighbor or is it Bad Bad Mayor? At what point do the people of Sioux Falls decide they have had enough of the propaganda? Sure, we want a nice, clean village to live in but when will the Minister of Propaganda learn we can accomplish so much more without encouraging neighbor on neighbor violence and property destruction?

The shaming of a property owner on South Main Street shammed the city of Sioux Falls on June 22, 2016. We’re sure most have seen the disgusting display of disgrace toward our fellow citizens shown in the local media perpetrated by the chief marketing officer. He should listen to and take heart the words of his new code enforcement manager Matt Tobias.

This video could have been shot in city hall but instead Mike and Heather produce it in front of the offending property but make it look like the attractive neighboring house is the problem. We did an interview with Theresa Stehly minutes before our view was changed by Heather because of “privacy concerns.” Bulls**t. If privacy was a concern, we would not have had the presser where it was held.

Within minutes of the first presser broadcasts in the local press, vandalism began around the community by our neighbors following the mayor’s lead. Mayor Huether should be ashamed but he does not know shame and this proves it.

When will the code enforcement system of the city of Sioux Falls become constitutional? The way this mayor operates things, never so we’d better get ready for more neighbor on neighbor violence. Thanks Mike.

Thank You Theresa Stehly!

As you know, pressure from Stehly before she was an elected official got the ball rolling on a new boulevard ordinance;

Public Works Director Mark Cotter says while residents are encouraged to be creative, new rules will help maintain the public right-of-way from the sidewalk to the streets.

“That’s why it’s so important that we maintain this space to make sure it’s safe but also so we can frequently install, update and replace these utilities,” Cotter said.

I also like the fact that there will be a 2 year transitional period to have homeowners get used to the ordinance. I can’t wait to start my rhubard garden in the boulevard 🙂

*The press conference was held in front of former senate candidate Rick Weiland’s home on about 20th and Phillips. They have an amazing front yard.

Code Enforcement 2015 Annual Report

The new code enforcement director Matt Tobias just released the 2015 annual report (DOC: CODE-ENFORCEMENT-2015 )

It is an interesting read I won’t get into to much. But the way fines are collected, is an interesting read, also the amount of properties that are ceased and demolished.

DaCola plans a post soon about ‘what happens’ to the seized property. Stay tuned.
