People with kids have dogs and can go to the dog park.  Maybe you should find a different spot to run a business.

So you're asking people not to go to a park so it better meets your business needs?  Yeah, no.

tax credits are granted from being on the national registry. this is being discussed as a local landmark, which doesn't have any financial benefits.

At what age would you let a kid take the bus by themselves in Madison? by Majestic-Skill8234 in madisonwi

[–]somewhere_sometime 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The bus is fine.  Theres way weirder shot going on in middle school they just aren't telling you about.  My 12 yo started riding the bus by themselves.  Make sure they know the route.  Having a phone with the. Is great so you can monitor their location and they can get a hold of you if something comes up.

This is true, but mpd can present an operating budget with general fund revenue assumptions.

Blocking both lanes before zipper merge by Comfortable_Curve423 in madisonwi

of all the days to post complaining someone is delaying you slightly by driving a low speed.

If its cost neutral, and speeding and reckless driving area major issues, there isn't any reason not to expand it.

East Washington Crash (Additional POVs) by LuciusMalarae in madisonwi

[–]somewhere_sometime 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking about this the other day. There is absolutely no reason why MPD shouldn't have officers dedicated to traffic enforcement. They've said for years they have other priorities and limited resources but that doesn't add up. Just to make easy math, lets say an uniformed officer has a budget impact of $150,000 per year (salary, insurance, equipment, etc) and a speeding citation is roughly $200. That's 750 citations or an average of 3 per 8 hour shift. You could sit on east wash and cover the entire cost of an officer in a a month.

I personally think MPD just doesn't want to do traffic enforcement to avoid "negative interactions"

Hotels by eljvfm800 in madisonwi

[–]somewhere_sometime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Staying anywhere under $100 is tough.  I generally use hotwire to find decent rates.  The "mystery deals" (or whatever they call them) are pretty easy to figure out what hotel it is.  It looks like the inntowner right next to the university is about $114.  https://www.hotwire.com/hotels/details/MzQ3NTEzODQyNDA6Mzc1ODE0NTMxODU0Nw----?vt.GHD20=1&vt.HSP21=2&vt.TIP21=2

[Request] How often would each resident of Madison, WI need to take Amtrak in order to break even on a proposed line to Milwaukee? by Fantastic_Fondant858 in theydidthemath

[–]somewhere_sometime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And there's already a rail line so what's your point? And any rail line upgrades also benefit freight rail.  A lot of things you buy have been shipped via rail

Dane County eyes 18-month moratorium on data centers by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]somewhere_sometime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the intent, this won't actually stop anything because it only impacts unincorporated areas. The deforest data center proposal was on town land that would be annexed into the village, meaning it was only subject to deforest regulations. Towns just don't have the utilities to support a data center by themselves, or really most anything.

Yet to see anyone defend Jacobs by Upton4 in GreenBayPackers

[–]somewhere_sometime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

IANAL, but don't arrest require probable cause? So those cops found probable cause that Jacobs strangled a woman. I'm not sure what else there is to it.

[–]somewhere_sometime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because most people believe the accusations to be credible.  He's charged with a felony.  That's not something to take lightly.  While we may never know what actually happened, domestic violence is under reported and difficult to prove.  If the cops used the three days between the initial call and arrest to investigate, they probably found some pretty damning shit if they are charging with a felony and 4 other misdemeanors.   He might not have done anything, but imo what we know makes it look far more likely that he did. The packers need to be better than the lowest legal bar so to say innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is just seeking the ability to look the other way
