Documenting Lubbock's Squalor

Rest your bones, set a spell... heh, heh.




 Who owns this property? Is it generating tax revenue? Are there not many code/health violations here? 




 I will tell you this: city departments are full of deadheads who become very indignant when you ask them to work. They like to have meetings. They like to attend meetings. But work is offensive. Please don't ask them to work.




 It is important to understand that the majority of Lubbock's employees are considered to be managers. Managers at various levels, managing other managers, and the job of a manager is to manage. A manager is not a WORKER.  A manager supervises the work of OTHERS. In most cases, a manager in the city hierarchy is supervising a lower level of management, and not a single WORKER can be found. Pity the poor people on the bottom of this contemptible structure. They are outnumbered by the jobs they have to do, on the one hand, and the layers and layers of management above them. That's why very little gets done in Lubbock. That's part of the reason the city is so inefficient, and so mired in debt.
