But it's also true that this had been open space provided to the community for the better part of a century and now it was fenced off with not even a path or sidewalks around most of the perimeter. 5.

They have called the police on guests (in the middle of the day, for parking over a sidewalk in the driveway, for noise when guests were playing dominoes by the pool and on and on)…one neighbor yelled obscenities at my guests (in front of children), saying, “We don’t want tourists!”

The state has recently invested (wasted in my opinion) $12-15 million on connecting the Thomas Cole house and Olana by putting in a roundabout and soon to be parking lot with sidewalks to walk to Olana and the Thomas Cole House.

The combined costs for grading, surplus disposal, gravel base, asphalt, curb and gutter, manholes, sewer laterals, and sidewalks could easily be $200 per linear foot for a 20' wide street.

we just poured 5 foundations in Columbus Ohio in the last month the total packages with sidewalks is less than $30,000 and that's cheap.
