Hawaii already did this raised rates, added bike lanes, and added manless bike rental stands and placed them in parking stalls and even in front of bike rental shop in tourist locations. Idk why don’t talk to us its been a failure at all levels.

They're making up the lost revenue...the only green it was about is $$$

They are trying to push public transportation. The goal is to turn downtown into a major tourist attraction.

Part of preparing is not just manpower. You gotta have water. On top of that, they didn't get enough man power and equipment. Did you not see that article I provided with the millions of dollars worth of equipment that was not being serviced?

It's not just manpower, but they didn't "get enough" manpower? OK...
There was no water shortage that you have been able to verify to this point.
The "millions of dollars of equipment not being serviced"? TF are you talking about? Another Vance or Trump talking point that turned out to be bullshit?
Provide some details about this claim, please.

I see you might not be much of a logical thinker, so I'll explain it. Water is needed to fight fires. So, if you upgrade your water system, you will upgrade your ability to fight fires. Remodeling City Hall has nothing to do with fixing the roads.

Exaclty. And a firefighting budget is not used to upgrade a city's water delivery infrastructure. That's the budget of the city-owned utility provider.

Are you ever going to share the details of how much water the pumps for the tank/towers can move per minute, how many tanks are in the area, and how many 2" hoses were running while they fought the fire?
Or did your "Fire Chief" buddy stop talking to you?

Not what you would do as a civilian, but what you would do as a governor to protect your civilians from the effects of climate change.

Pretty much the same as a governor. Anything I do to protect myself would be something I'd do to protect other people.
What area are we talking about, and what change are they experiencing?

When a Firefighting Official states they could not fight the fires because there was no water to fight the fires with, That is good enough for me. Why would we listen to an internet troll tell the world it is wrong about everything when we all can see real world events for ourselves in real time by not listening to GMN here or MSNBC.

Who is really at fault though for the Plane/Helo crash? The tower, The pilots, the ,military?

I can't believe your logic on this. This really does paint you and an illogical thinker. He knows the Blackhawk can fly over 200 ft. He was referring to the limit that the helicopter was ALOWED to fly at. Thats so stupid, and a typical lib thing, to spin that as if Trump actually believes helicopters are not capable of flying over 200 ft. HE's flies in one all the time.

Then he's obviously incapable of forming simple sentences and understanding basic words an phrases.
As are you. I'll break it down for you.

"Flying too high, by a lot". He is saying 200 feet is too high for a Blackhawk to fly.
"above the 200 foot limit". He is saying a Blackhawk has an altitude limit of 200 feet.

If you want to argue he was talking about anything other than the helicopter, it's equally as idiotic. Helicopters are supposed to follow the same flight patterns as airplanes. Airplanes usually approach a 3 degree slope. That's 500 feet of altitude for every nautical mile from the airport.
The closest the Hudson comes to LaGuardia is about 6 miles That's about 5.2 nautical. So 1,500 feet of altitude would be normal.
But they crashed even further away. So tell me what idiot thinks a Blackhawk chopper shulld be limited to 200 feet altitude over an urban area, 8 miles from the airport?
TRUMP. And his followers who believe him.

I don't know of any republican that is in favor of communism. It fact, it is the republicans who are fighting against it. Why to you think we fight so hard against socialism? The dems are proven to be more supportive of communism than republicans. The proof is all around.

Read Thxone's posts, where he describes a dislike of Communism as "bigotry". Read his posts where he advocates for allowing Communist Russia to take control of Ukraine, and decries the idea of the US helping its allies fight against Communism.

People call other all kinds of names but are while not hating, or disliking, the group that is affiliated with that name. Look at black people who insult each other by calling them the N-word. I'm Asian and I call people "Nips" all the time. Does that make me racist? I have some really close friends that I hang out with quite often. Some of them catered my wedding. I call them ********** names all the time. Does that mean I'm **********?

This is all over the map. When you call people these names, are you doing it in order to insult them? if you are, then you think it's bad to be Asian. That an Asian is unworthy. Do you believe that?

You don't need to see a **** to prove it happened. However, a psychological evaluation could easily show what really happened. Carroll is a real nut case. Her story kept changing and her answers were not very detailed until all of a sudden. Heck, she named her cat ****** and is clearly a wacked out woman. Just look at her videos.

She reported it to multiple people right after it happened. She spent THREE days testifying as to what happened. But you, with your extensive training and expertise in psychology, have evaluate all of the hearing testimony, transcripts, and her personal history, and have determined that she is a "real nut case".

Why weren't you on Trump's defense team? You could have convinced him to actually participate and testify on his own behalf, and the case would have been decided in his favor.

Also, if all women told the truth, then Bill Clinton should be locked up for all of the **** accusations against him. Also, Biden should be locked up for *** abuse against his daughter.

No one said "all women tell the truth", just as no one said "all men tell the truth". Your hasty generalization is obvious here.

Whoever didn't have right of way if they were flying under VFR.

So that tells you the whole story? "We didn't have enough water"?
So given that information, can you tell me how you would fix that problem?

And please don't say "get more water". Give the actual solution that you would implement tomorrow with the information of "we didn't have enough water".

"Flying too high, by a lot". He is saying 200 feet is too high for a Blackhawk to fly.
"above the 200 foot limit". He is saying a Blackhawk has an altitude limit of 200 feet.

They are flying near a congested, busy airport. The helicopter was given an altitude ceiling to stay under to avoid situations like this. Stop being a ******* ******* just because you are bigoted towards Trump. You are just showing your true colors.

If you want to argue he was talking about anything other than the helicopter, it's equally as idiotic. Helicopters are supposed to follow the same flight patterns as airplanes. Airplanes usually approach a 3 degree slope. That's 500 feet of altitude for every nautical mile from the airport.

Not Military Helicopters dipshit.

Seriously, Move back to Canada jack ***.

Communist are a group of people are they not? They are. You hate them. You're a bigot. Why you are choosing to see some kind of negative in the words is again, on you.

It tells a story you willfully blind democrat. Underfunded. Budget Cut. Lack of water. She spoke to those who should be able to rectify the situation when she explained they would not be prepared for SURPRISE SURPRISE, wildfires.

Seriously... Canada... it's right there. Hop on back.
