Stand back from the situation for a bit and look at it through a different lens. It seems as if many are upset about unkempt property in town. Some have spoken with contempt of the owners of that property. The city has a codes department to handle such matters and if they do their job, it should never come down to 'getting personal'. It is undeniably true that Raytown Codes is not doing their job to the satisfaction of several individuals on this blog. It is another given that complaints here about the lack of codes enforcement has not had an enduring positive effect. What is it that folks hope to accomplish by continuing to complain within this venue? <br /> It's been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.<br /> If the same amount of energy were expended in hashing over a way to induce Codes to do their job as has been spent on complaining you may have put this all behind you some time ago. <br /> Complaints unaccompanied by potential solutions are a waste of everyone's time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-64558235825125467342013-10-06T15:11:18.374-05:002013-10-06T15:11:18.374-05:00Doc,

It was nice that you and Sammy took the time to check on the current status of the property.<br /><br />Being an open minded person, I could see all three of you being correct. I am not saying some are not trying to stir the pot, but the fact is when they drove by the property in question there could have been the problems they talked about. The point is none of us know who is and is not reading this blog so maybe the property owners are one of the readers. Again trying to keep an open mind.<br /><br />Another regular blogger was upset with post against businesses, but she herself likes to complain about a lot of things, but is upset with others for doing the same thing and gives them a hard time for speaking up.<br /><br />I have not heard anyone questioning her objectives and why all the talk about a one world order or whatever it is she claims MARC to be.<br /><br />If MARC is so bad why through join bidding have they saved several cities include Raytown money on needed items?<br /><br />Again, I am trying to be open minded and with that I do support those who are upset with the condition our city has become and the lack of actively addressing property issues we all face.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-31027455775076077382013-10-05T15:05:30.901-05:002013-10-05T15:05:30.901-05:00To 8:23 ; hate is a strong word and one nobody on ...

You did not miss the one about a guy liking a dump at a car dealership on 350 ; for their never was a post about that on this thread some people are so hate filled that they assume something to complain about. You notice when the building that was called run down was found to be sided and painted the only comment was drive around back there is a toilet, and when the toilet was no longer there it was find the weeds. Although the weeds exist and were hiden by parked cars initially the other things we not there . This person didn't care about the building. Needing paint or the toilet there or they would of said good its gone, no they kept " searching" for more to complain about ... Yes I got your spin on the scavenger hunt, don't think they did. When you said to the person " they showed him " doubt they knew what they showed him. Some people are like feral cats; you can bring them inside with domesticated pets and although the other pets are t bothering them they will hiss and snarl because that's all the know and are uncomfortable with anything other than chaos.

This is a hard to control issue unless the perp can be identified and a witness will testify. I used to have a business and discovered someone was dumping all of their trash into my dumpster. I called the Sheriff. A deputy responded and said that the couldn't charge them with littering since they put it into a receptical. I responded that it was theft of service and since there was a mail in the trash, I suggested the deputy contact the offender and tell him to pay for his own trash pick up. Then a large trick came and filled my dumpster with mattresses. Since there was a company name on thee truck, I called the company and demanded that they return to remove their mattresses or I would call the sheriff. I didn't mind a reasonable amount of trash from travelers since I owned a gas station, but the first case filled 1/2 the dumpster.<br /><br />Susan, I agree, but Greg got much of it toned town. This blog used to be a lot of fowl mouthed hatred. I ignored the garbage and didn't respond if directed at me by an anonymous writer. I might respond to a signed post. I have noticed that many blogs including Face Book are that way.

Thanks mainly to what we contributors to this blog have exposed.<br /><br />By and large most of the people who write on these pages care for Raytown. They are speaking out.<br /><br />Sure there are some negative nay-sayers like the ones who attacked Alderman Emerson for her work in creating a Farmer's Market.<br /><br />I really believe the well intentioned outnumber the ones who just want to cause trouble.<br /><br />I'm happy to read what you have to say.

Where to begin: to 7:42 I would agree all of us in excitement over the Farmers Market send Kuddos to Janet for enthusiasm in a report to the board about the Farmers Market. Positive people joining in a positive effort, nothing but good to say about that. To 7:18 I missed the one about the guy liking a dump behind a car dealership on 350 but you certainly showed him by bulling him about decorating the dead trees and making fun of and accusing him of still having lights up from a past season. To 9:51 no where did I say that I liked a dump look and telling me to move to the inner city was harsh and very unlikely as I have been in Raytown near 60 yrs and will be buried here as well. I do not drive pass the problems that bring down this city ( literally or figuratively) to 7:59 am I do not work for the city. I teach at the school district here in Raytown psychology a study of human behavior and a positive behavior course. You can learn much about yourself when you study your words and actions for instance ; accusing / accepting , narrow/ open minded, argumentative/ complacent. To 8:10 glad I could make you laugh, life can be made fun and the hard work becomes play and it is always good when people work together! And finally to Pat...
