Shoreline has become a city where people mostly want to come to die.  The City Council wants some younger people who are still working and not retired to come here to be exploited (pay the taxes to finance their land redevelopment to make the land city council members own more valuable) but for the most part it’s not happening.

     They ask why but when they’re told they don’t like the answer they get.

     Younger people aren’t retired, most are working, they need services at night, they need entertainment at night.  If they want a tax base, they’re going to have to make some concessions to make this city liveable for those who aren’t yet over eighty and retired.  The Casino’s don’t count.  We need parks that are open so those of us who enjoy night photography or just want to watch the night sky can do so.  We need some good musical venues like the old Parker’s Road House back when it was a road house and not a sports bar or casino.  We need a police force that doesn’t harass everyone under 25, my son was stopped just for walking at night.

     As long as these things don’t happen, youth are going to avoid this city like the plague it is.
