And then, once he's indisposed, take his spot.

That's terrible Jackrabbit.

But since this thread is about Public Renovation, some ideas:

Make the sidewalks softer: Since there are homeless people living on the street, we should make the sidewalks softer, and thus more comfortable to sleep on. Also, they hurt my feet... The sidewalks, not the homeless people.

Modify all dumpsters to have open lids, but downward pointing spikes on the inside: Stray cats and dogs are a nuisance for any city, so we modify dumpsters to be open, so that stray animals can wonder in freely. However, with the downward pointing spikes on the inside, they can go in, but not come out. This turns the dumpsters into automatically emptied death traps, where all the mess is already handled by our trustworthy garbage men/women.

Mandate that small generators be placed on all chimneys: with the energy crisis as it is, one energy source is often overlooked, chimneys. the hot smoking rising probably has enough force to turn a small turbine that can generate electricity. This electricity will be added to a large capacitor (also mandatory on all houses with a chimney) and which will then expend power in place of power provided by the local electric company, thereby reducing the amount of coal/oil produced electricity usage throughout the country, and weakening our dependance on foreign oil supplies.

About the fruit tree thing.
We have plenty of rowans full of horribly bitter berries that could be eaten. They grow everywhere as decoration here in Sweden. Or at least in my Landskap(no real translation available, sorry).

Gotta love the DF forums. A statement like this anywhere else could land you a couple years of counseling.

One of my old roommates told me he could make 200 bucks in an hour or two sitting at the gas station bumming money.  Thats how he got money on the weekends to drink and party.

I think you should go find that roommate and kick him in the balls for taking advantage of people's generosity.

Yeah I hated that guy.  I never understood why people would give him money.


And then, once he's indisposed, take his spot.

I cant say it isnt tempting.  Free money!  But....it'd be hard to look in the mirror after that.  You kinda have to have no self respect to do that.  Apparently, I still have a tattered shred of self respect left....cuz I couldnt do it.

Also...I'd worry someone I knew would pull into the gas station and see me dressed like a hobo carrying a misspelled sign.  How do you explain that one?

Thus ends the official written history of the fortress known as Boatmurdered. May their tortured souls rest in peace.

Hobo signs don't come with spellchecker installed?
