As I read this lest, I have difficulty understanding what some of these items have to do with the "HOUSING Subcommitte".]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:50:48 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5903&title=lost-business#5903 Lost Business : Looks like a couple of more buildings... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5896&title=lost-business#5896 Author: scrapmonkey

Looks like a couple of more buildings made the "demolish" list perhaps.
Why not just "demolish" the entire downtown area and move it out next to the interstate ?!!!

The percentage of owner-occupied residential properties in Middletown has been declining for a number of years.  Could this have some bearing on the uncertain state of our city?]]> Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:03:17 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5895&title=lost-business#5895 Lost Business : God forbid thatthe strongemphasis... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5893&title=lost-business#5893 Author: Perplexed

God forbid that the strong emphasis on housing codes by the City won't cause us retirees and unemployed home owners to sell our houses out of desperation?  We have needed more home owners and less landlords for quite some time haven't we!]]> Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:25:10 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5893&title=lost-business#5893 Lost Business : Welcome to Middletown, Open For... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1231&PID=5890&title=lost-business#5890 Author: Pacman

Welcome to Middletown, Open For Business, Where your Prosperity is not our Business
 
Look for more friendly Business actions taken by the City come May from this note in a Memo from the Housing Committee:

a. 2300 letters sent to properties in violation.

b. Phones busy but very little negative feedback. (Phone are rolling, there are up to five persons to answer phone calls)

c. List of Middletown partnering businesses on City website by mid‐April.

d. FAQ being developed to add to Code Enforcement on website.

e. Obtaining 2009 IPMC for implementation in Middletown. Currently using 2003 Edition.

f. Concentration March to May – residential with minimal commercial. Dealing with 2300 letters and incoming nuisance complaints

g. Will take more active role in commercial in May – part time inspector and shift of existing inspectors time to commercial.

Will the "all-knowing bureaucrats" ever realize that they don't have all the answers?
 
Will the "all-knowing bureaucrats" ever listen to the ideas and opinions of the citizenry?
 
How many of these elitists ever owned or operated their own businesses?
 
Do they really care?
