Big Bad Bushala Benefits from Bungled Boondoggle
Ah, those pesky unintended consequences. When government is involved you can be sure of them, mostly because official activities are so often based on wishful thinking, and because no one is ever held accountable for adverse results.
Let’s consider the Trail to Nowhere, a stupid idea from the start whose in-city cost exploded from $170,000 to $630,000. There were no real identified users, just hopes an prayers that somebody might show up to use it.
Guess what? They will.
That’s because the Crossfit gym on Richman Ave. is located right next to it. The gym members will get to use the DG path to jog on, instead of the paved streets in the neighborhood.
The gym gets a free, taxpayer subsidized amenity which is great for them and good for their landlord, too, come lease renewal time.
The landlord? Why none other than Fullerton Boohoo Public enemy #1, Tony Bushala. Oops.
That’s funny how things can work out in the end.
Kind of like when I married Ms Michelle.
Although we ended up divorcing, in the end I got a green card out of the deal.
“But it didn’t work out.”
You left out “even though I always knew I was gay.”
He wanted to give it that one last shot.
ok and? the trail wasnt about bushala. funny how now this blog says people will use it after a year plus of complaining nobody would and making 30+ posts about how not a single person would use the trail. Almost like you were just complaining about making the city better. Same thing happened with the hillcrest stairs, a thing a bunch of people use every day and all this blog did was complain it was useless
Haha. Let the gentrification begin! It certainly won’t used by the people who were “underserved.” But at least Bushala will get something out of it!
No, the blog said the stairs were built like shit and provided lots and lots of evidence of substandard construction.
They literally called them stairs to nowhere and said nobody would use them
No they said if you use them, have insurance.
Fullerton Harpoon: Trail that absolutely NO ONE will use
Also Fullerton Harpoon in the same article: here’s a group of people that will DEFINITELY use it.
Not the brightest on this blog
Haha. Bushala wins again. The ONLY user is his tenant. At least for a year or so before it’s shut down.
Nobody has used anything yet. And when the homeless take up residence they never will. EXCEPT the homeless and the droogies.
The post is clearly tongue in cheek. A little too subtle for the hoogerboogers of the world.
Hey idiot, you don’t seem to get the point of this post. Let me try to spell it out for you. Had Tony Bushala been the one actively championing this trail, critics would have likely accused him of having a personal agenda or expecting some sort of gain. They would have said, ‘Oh, Bushala wants this trail, so there must be something in it for him.’ However, the reality is that the trail, which Tony didn’t push for, is now set to benefit his tenants.
Yes. They’re too dumb to see the irony.
Can’t you read?
The $2.5 million WAS approved with no identified users.
Nobody ever said anything about white gym customers being the clientele.
No, the blog said the stairs were built like shit and provided lots and lots of evidence of substandard construction.
Ramshackle. Completely unacceptable. The concrete caissons were drilled and poured in the wrong places. Rail cables patched together, warped light posts, missing… aw Hell. What was right?
Fullerton, being Fullerton.
Fullerton is a fucking fiasco.
“Even if I lose, I win.”
Tony can’t afford to repave that parking lot? Or is that the standard asphalt aesthetic for Fullerton now? I hope he’s not charging that gym more than $2k a month for that shit box in a shit box neighborhood.
Bushala wins again. And again.
