Not In Disney's Neighborhood

Since March Madness begins at the end of the week, I have to post a non-basketball related post for all of you not following the games. FYI, I’m done with my bracket and am ready for the games to begin.

There is a proposal to build 1,500 condos for low-to-middle-income familier near the entrance to Disneyland in southern California. Many of the condos could be used as housing for the many Disneyland employees who can't afford to live in the immediate area and must commute long distances. But Disneyland is suing to stop the project.

A Disney official called it "a very dangerous precedent, because once you allow one residential development in, where does it stop? We will do all we can to protect the value of the resort area." Well, you know what? I agree. Because, you let these people into the neighborhood, and next thing you know, they're setting up a freakin’ strip mall inside Cinderella's castle. People are sleeping inside the tea cups. There's little poor kids running around outside the front gate trying to sell the customers fake jewerly or whatever. I mean, they'll be washing their clothes in the It's A Small World river. That's a little too small of a world if you ask me. Seriously. You give these people an inch, and they take a mile. Keeping them poor, displaced, and disgruntled is the best situation for everybody. Trust me.

Overall, it's just nice to see someone take a stand. So kudos, Disney. Kudos. You have a certain level of class to maintain. Am I right? So fire up the Dumbo Flier and let's all go for a money ride!
