No matter your feelings about the wall or immigration, shows private enterprise can get the job done better than the government.
This can apply to a lot of things. Where I live toll roads are opened months ahead of schedule and millions under budget. Imagine having road work on I-10 and I-35 completed that effectively.shows private enterprise can get the job done better than the government.
According to what I'm seeing right now the city has issued a cease-and-desist because they didn't have proper permits. This makes me wonder about the rest of the city
Why are we talking about this crap and where is the OT designation?
Realm is a little puzzled... isn't there flat land on both the North and South side of Mt Cristo Rey??
Why spend $6 million to fence in only 1/2 mile of the hardest stretch of the border??
With limited funds... and even more limited foresight... Maybe this is WHY things go wrong when you put projects in the hands of private industry and a scam artist like Brian Kolfage.
Shitttt... you had me and my buds at MAGA worried for a second... By ALL MEANS, Continue building YOUR fking wall. Realm
It doesn't meet Sunland Park's building code? You mean the same city in which you can see a cinder block house wedged between a trailer and metal shed.
But this is technically New Mexico.In El Paso proper, you cannot build a fence taller than 6' without a permit. It can be 5'11.5" no questions asked. At least that's what the contracter told me.
Right, as someone pointed out, I wasn't aware Sunland Park had building codes.But this is technically New Mexico.
Not if the height of the fencing runs afoul of the homeowners association regulations.I’m no MAGA, but this is an interesting model for private property along the border (Texas).
If the property owner wants it, and it’s funded by private citizens, isn’t that within their rights?
Just a guess, but I'm betting there is no homeowners association anywhere near where the fence was built.Not if the height of the fencing runs afoul of the homeowners association regulations.

No matter what you think of Christopher Columbus, he wouldn't have made it across the globe without the government.
Those freeways were not a privatized endeavor.
I guess we've forgotten the financial crisis of '08? Private corporations shut the financial valves and holed up trillions of dollars even after the government begged them to free that money up and they refused. Obama, love him or hate him, told the greedy "you made this mess, you clean up this mess!". Everyday government and the private sector work hand in hand, private needs the government and vice versa.
Very true. But for those who operate in a legit ethical and moral manner put in for bids everyday all over the country to build roads, parks, buildings etc.A synic might say the private sector capitalizes on public funds by rubbing elbos and catering to politicians worst traits in order to gain favor in contract bids. How often does it happen? All the time. Its the biggest of corruptions in our society. But they'll never build a wall between politics and free enterprise. "They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
No sir. Not true. Dead men tell no tales but McCain and the Keating 5 set this country down a dark road. Bill Clinton did create "no money down" residential loans which had good intentions but created to the problem and compounded over time. Corrections ensued and a more centralized approach in the real estate market was created (I work in it). No one was making those private financial institutions decide on high risk loans. Long story short, along comes "Dodd-Frank" but the same risky investments are still going on. They just relabeled the financial transactions. What you can accuse Obama of is basically kicking the can down the road because there will be another crisis because the feds basically said "Keep Calm and Carry On" attitude. We will have another crisis.Actually, the financial crisis of 08 was encouraged by gov't by waay of the CRA. The further expansion of high risk loans were encouraged by lawmakers, which included Obama. It of course was an attempt to free up credit to low income/ minority families, thus making home ownership attainable to more Americans.
It of course helped drive a massive housing bubble, that eventually collapsed. It's a good example of how emotionally driven policies can actually hurt people in the long run, if not thought out carefully..
And no, Obama didn't tell anyone to clean up their mess. He saved specific financial institutions with bailouts. Essentially, Obama told YOU the taxpayer to clean up the mess...
