To open farm there cost a lots of mone Just to pay helicopter to spray it for flys every now and then cost thousands of dollars and then between water and service and employee etc. Return to easier to go work. $5 an hour in any store. It cost too much to open any business The stock is before 4 years. I wonder now how it is the best. What to do in California? Is the swap meet? I was there and I studied every business impossible so I'll end up with $5 an hour. This is why people going to job instead of opening business. It's easier to have your paycheck every week instead of you. Wonder if you're going to make money or you lose all your money once now forget about it cuz the big business people they going out of business cuz nobody have money to go shop that much. Only the very important and necessary. Nothing for fun so forget about it. I love California so much that I like to go back to it for the weather for the sea but not for any business. It's just losing money and wondering if you win any for the day thanks for vampire Stern family who got their money from destroying everybody else's money even body parts robbing everyone banks nobody can stop them mantel family worldwide

Great example of Integral consciousness. My dad here promotes a way of thinking that is beyond modernist know it all and beyond postmodern solipsism. I called this post-postmodern philosophy. Some on KZbin have called it meta-modern. Ken Wilber calls it Integral. There is an acknowledgement of and listening to the difference in others' way of thinking (postmodernism) as well as a bringing of his own understanding to "seed" or even "impose" his own idea from "New Urbanism".

Come on dude: Monessen is not resilience, it's a ghost town, and I do not love Monessen, I love money instead, I am a capitalist, an industrialist and an investor who will not drop a penny in a drug infested place like Monessen: Clean up your place honorable mayor Matt. China will collapse (basically they are the most brutal version of Capitalism ran by their Communist Party) just like the Soviet Union did, like Cuba... And the steel industry will come back, but it will be graphene type. Your code enforcement guy is a potential developer squeezing the life out of those who want to stay behind in Monessen... You are not John Wayne, I know people, I'm the kind of human who sleep well at night, and you only talk about yourself and what you want, and then, you talk like a squidzofrenic who creates his own reality, I bet that in your mind you speak to the collapsing buildings and landmarks as they become animated objects reaching out to you (their hero and saviour). If I was schizophrenic I would see you in a different way, I would see you walking towards some borealis lights while mumbling your favorite words I. I. I. I. I. Me. Me. Me blah blah blah

You speak sweet words, eloquently spoken, like the poetry of an idealist, but you were elected to fight against poverty and crime, to save your town from neglect, If your neighbors want poetry, they go to a library... We had a guy like you here in Miami, practically a poet. Did you know Chairman Mao was a published poet, and hitler painted master pieces using oil on canvas (I actually have one in my cave du vin)... But do you want to make this part of America look like a Norman Rockwell painting again? (and I mean by this: your City of Monessen in all it's former splendor and beauty), and make it glorious again? and great again? patriotic again? Do you want to revive its middle class and its working class? Do you want to revive your tax basis again? CLEAN MONESSEN UP!!! If you Google the word Monessen it will come up with press statements such as "A man killed" "Police found a dead man...""Homicide on Chestnut Street" "Drug use and drug crime related numbers keep going up in Monessen, Pa" "Monessen is almost a ghost town" "Local politicians are fighting for bread crumbs that fall off Monessen's almost empty plate""Mayor of Monessen has been absent from his duties x amount of years" ... I am not blind, I have my eyes on your town for a long time, I would invest in it in a heartbeat, not in steel but in other products such as roof tiles, bricks, glass and pre-fabricated housing and industrial structures because that is the way of the future, down here we are building skyscrapers with glass and carbon fiber rebars, which is lighter than steel, and it doesn't require painting nor maintenance... Land in Monessen is cheap, I can get coal from W. Virginia at rock bottom prices (if you-know-who re-opens the W. Virginian mines), and with your river there I can haul it over to Monessen for next-to-nothing. I'm in Miami, and my friends and I would gladly invest there, but the drugs have to go. Eventually China will collapse if we stop buying their crap (they have no oil, we do), the south border will close again along with the Mexican cartels, it's only a matter of time, and the steel industry in Pittsburgh will return again, but it will be graphene type, why do you think China is importing to USA all the ingredients to manufacture fentanyl and the man who occupies the white house (our house!!!) is not imposing a strong import tax to China? Again, I am a rich man with my eye on Monessen, I want to invest there, I don't screw up people, it's not good for business, and I want to bring industry and employment there, I would gladly pay my taxes, I can do this, I am a capitalist, and I tell you: Your lefties, your globalists, your local yokels will not move a finger untill their pockets get filled, and they will sweet-talk you untill they get inside your heart, don't let it happen, we had a guy like that here (Congressman Carlos Curbelo) who raised the social security age to qualify for benefits, News flash: I will not give away my hard earned money to the Frank Lukas, the Nicky Barnes and the Ray "Bumpy" Johnson wannabes of Harlem governed by the new left who pack our cities with dope, nor to the three millions Puerto Rican single mothers who would have completely drained the New York economy if it wasn't for Guliani's intervention (he fixed the welfare system there). Keep the criminal element in jail for many, many years, and do not give your money to those who don't want to work. Take this to the bank: Novartis (the pharmaco giant wants to relocate their plant in Humacao PR to Monessen, the Governor Mr Rosello made a deal in 1995 with Novartis: 10 years of tax-free operation, why isn't it Novartis in Monessen yet? Vas (Vasant Narasimhan) the President and CEO of Novartis is from Pittsburgh, and he is not a Democrat, Why no one is talking to him? You figure it out... In 2016 you were visited by a US president that was going to help Monessen, but what happened? He got ripped off, so I heard. Do not look for help from the State (not because your boss is a Jew, because he is a Democrat)... My advise: If you ever clean up Monessen, give up politics and write poetry. Monessen reminds me of the lower east side of Manhattan, they were selling abandoned buildings for a dollar untill the mayor of NYC did away with the rent control laws, now the Lower East Side is like gold

So sad to see the streets we walked down in the 80s completely in disrepair and beautiful historical buildings crumbling down. I remember all the cute stores that were there. One of my favorite places was Italian Hall. We go weekly to have dinner there. It is hard situation. They need some kind of industry to bring some life back.

Its a challenge in fixing things up…. When it starts happening developers become interested. But they build it up like every other place rather than restoring what it was. Then people start moving in, over paying, driving prices up to where the locals can’t afford to be there anymore. Be careful what you wish for and what you accept or you may find yourself trying to find your next unspoiled old time place to live, holding on til they come to destroy, I mean “develop” that area too…

The car should not be king. I miss the Fulton Mall, I remember seeing the street being ripped up, in 1963, when they were constructing the mall, with my late grandmother, Viola Scharton. It makes me sad to see it gone. I'm hoping to move away from Fresno, before long, as this town has gotten too expensive for me in housing. I've had family here for over 125 years, but I've had enough!

If the state steps in you’ll lose control and they will do what they want and attract many more people with much more money driving housing prices up so high the locals who make it a charming place to be will no longer be able to afford it. It will become a bedroom community for the people of Pittsburgh and other cities. It’s a very delicate balance. I bought into a town in NJ that had fallen into disrepair and was coming back organically from people buying and fixing things up. Then developers came in building 2-3 story condos. Now there are high rises along the beach front, prices skyrocketed and every street has paid parking. 24/7. They started advertising it as “the new Brooklyn “ and wealthy New Yorkers flooded the place. The small town is gone. The charm and locals are gone, replaced by the hip and groovy crowd. I left 8 years ago. Most of the Jersey shore is unrecognizable from when I was a kid. And back then (60’s-70’s) houses were $20-40k. The wealthy from NYC and Philly have bought up most of it.

Who the hell wants to live in Fresno? I'm still puzzle by why my families still lives there. Tent city, high tax rate, limited water usage, no jobs, multi families per house, agriculture jobs only, high gas prices, no night life(if you think tower is nightlife, than you have yet to seen real nightlife), triple digit weather, meth and lets not forget the infested gang members between mexicans and southeast Asian. I'm so glad I moved out of Cali. There's so many states that have better quality of life. Believe me, I grew up in visalia and fresno. I've seen both sides of the spectrum. Lived Up and down east coast. Left and will never look back to cali. I understand that's there's pros and cons to every city, however, the cons outweighs the pros in san Joaquin. Unless your filthy rich, socal and norcal is out of the picture.

Visité Monessen por primera vez en enero de 1994 durante unas vacaciones de tres semanas. Lo sé, hay lugares mucho más agradables en los EE. UU. que Monessen para pasar unas vacaciones, especialmente después de una ventisca... jajaja Pero, como vivo en Essen, Alemania, la ciudad que da nombre a Monessen. Elegí Monessen para mis primeros viaje a los EE. UU. Hice buenos amigos en Monessen y los pueblos de los alrededores. Así que regresé en agosto de 1994 para una estadía de tres meses. 94, el centro de Monessen ya tenía la impresión de ser un pueblo fantasma. Y de visita en visita he visto más casas siendo demolidas, negocios cerrados que estaban abiertos una visita antes, y mucha decadencia en general en mi amada segunda ciudad natal. Me rompió el corazón, y todavía lo hace cuando escucho de mis amigos sobre la muerte de esa ciudad. Realmente espero poder regresar algún día para visitar a mi amado Essen con el Mon nuevamente. Extraño a mis amigos y los buenos momentos que pasé. He tenido allí... especialmente en el B`n `S y en el Slovak Home... loool Saludos cordiales desde Essen, Alemania

Una vez aclamada como una "ciudad de la época parecida a Aladino", hoy Monessen, Pensilvania, es un microcosmos de la lucha del cinturón industrial. A pesar de la fuerte pérdida de población y un centro histórico en decadencia, un joven alcalde está decidido a cambiar las cosas en esta ciudad en una colina en el valle de Monongahela. SMALL TOWN SPIRIT es una serie original de cortometrajes documentales, filmados en locaciones de comunidades de todo Estados Unidos. Cada episodio describe un pueblo diferente, descubriendo personajes locales e historias de resiliencia, innovación y coraje. Una historia a la vez, un pueblo a la vez, Small Town Spirit narra la lucha para preservar y revitalizar los pequeños pueblos de Estados Unidos.
