... so I can move on to something else.
Somebody lives in this house-- not much like Tech Terrace is it?
This illegal dump is right across 66th Street from Lubbock's Pump Station 6, which is part of the public water supply system!
Yep, part of the water system is right across the street!
I really do not understand why this dump has not been cleaned up, given its location.
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.
You see lots of waste, ruin, and illegal dumping in some parts of town.
You can also see a lot of inadvertent abstract expressionism.
Mattresses and couches are the things that are most often dumped in town. Hard to dispose of things like this. It would not surprise me to learn that these dumping grounds sometimes conceal human remains. If that's the case, I think local law enforcement would just rather not know. In my opinion, city officials are as rotten as the moldering debris you see in these pics.
When I see things like this, I have the feeling that I'm looking into the very heart of the "whited sepulcher" that is Lubbock, Texas. That's not to say there aren't good people here; it's just that there aren't enough of them where it counts.
Some parts of this town are not thriving at all.
Most of Lubbock could not care less.
There's a lot of barren land and a lot dead businesses.
At least the prairie dogs are doing well. They are numerous out here, big and fat and happy. In that respect they are like the empty-headed fat cats who run this city.
