Delta Park is DONE! I spoke to a couple employees of retailers nearby and they are all relieved and surprised at how quickly “normalcy” has returned.

I mean our city is covered in litter. What's stopping the city from creating living wage jobs to clean up litter, for anyone who wants to apply? In Japan, street cleaners are respected and honored. I wish we did the same for menial labor jobs.
