“Water cutbacks mean most parks will be dead, brown turf by July; the flower and fertilizer budget is zero.”

Ah, if only nature had invented a way plants could feed themselves, say by means of sunlight, Colorado Springs could avoid this awful fate…

It’ll be an interesting experiment. Hopefully the real civil society will step up to the mark and we’ll see church groups mowing and fertilising the parks, and volunteer neighbourhood watch teams patrolling the residential neighbourhoods.

Although, if all these services are being cut without cutting taxes, I’d be surprised if anyone could find the time out from work to help with any of this stuff.

Dude, you should check out some of my free books on anarchist economics, I think they would rock your world.

You know what’s even funnier?

According to the US Fire Administration, 86% of fire departments in the US are all-volunteer or mostly-volunteer.

All but the most populous cities in the US seem to do okay without paid firefighters. I think Colorado Springs will survive, too.
