Or my life experience doesn’t include an abundance of litter. I grew up in Brick and not once did I ever think my part of the state had a litter problem, and that’s because it doesn’t. Tom’s River, Lakewood, Manchester, Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Wall, etc… is a pretty big “gated community” with no litter problem.

I used to be a sales rep and had to go into just about every mall in NJ, Long Island and some in Delaware and PA.

The way we would get a good spot, is to go to the row you want to park in and wait about 20 spots back from the front of the row, You'll get a spot in around 10 minutes. Even during the holiday rush.

The only caveat is don't pick a row by the employee entrances.

The devil is in the details. By doing so they cut the city off from being able to have any opportunity for shared revenue in parking and accommodations.

The super bowl also cost the state $36 million in taxpayer money. The average tax revenue from the stadium itself is about $6 million.

And now we have the world cup to consider that will cost $14 million to prepare the stadium and a $5 million revolving credit account for the organization planning the renovations.

It's kind of like buying a horse. If I bought you a horse and convinced you to just pay for upkeep while I profit from whatever I use the horse for...well then I've fucked you.
