The time has come close down this blog , having already served the purpose of it, which is quite simply to tell, as the subtitle, the "noir some works annoying, expensive and unnecessary in Collado Villalba (Madrid), who mortgaged the city for 40 years for the benefit of usual. " Also, just today met 500 days since its creation, as seen in the counter end of the page. A round number to make the semi-final.
have been a total of 176 articles in these 500 days, seen so far more than 108,200 times by more than 42,000 unique visitors (half a day, 216 and 84 respectively) and have had 2,191 comments, most brilliant and / or interesting. Highlighting the fact that, despite the comments never had prior restraint on our part, but it could be published directly to any time of day or night, just had to delete another 9, which gives an idea of \u200b\u200b good level of education and respect for our visitors, of you @ s. Congratulations for that.
would be great to be opened new pages in this style to tell things that happen at street level. At least one in every neighborhood of Villalba. The tools are many and complex. In our case, a few pairs of eyes to watch, a camera / video pretty bad and the little we saw through the local media. Anyone can do it. From there, opinion. Because our opinion, ours, yours, we read, the over all is as valid and as necessary as any lawyer (or not) in journalism or news presenter on television. Why was not going to happen, if all we are neighbors and we went through the same streets? The power of the citizen, the power of who pays taxes and wants that money is used well.
sees a need for studies to assess pages, day to day management of our leaders . Express our opinion that not only every four years, at the polls, but every day, at street level. Who criticize what is wrong and applaud what is good. In public. That our leaders know and feel that are permanently monitoring the position for which we pay . Runs the test every four years and go to continuous assessment. Absolute majorities are not absolute and not become a blank check for any kind of outrage.
Villalba faces in the coming times, new topics that have very sleazy : the location and management model of the new hospital, the redevelopment of Royal Street (needed after years of neglect perhaps premeditated to justify another sweet contract), the widening of the road Navacerrada ... Would you tell someone outside the traditional media, subject always to the economic interests of their respective owners.
About the play, a little more to tell. As you know, ended about two months , but since then it happens every day a worker to tighten a screw or put some trash. Judge for yourself, while we, the finish of the work, those puddles that suggest a poor performance, the road markings nearly invisible, the entrances to the garages a perfect angle, the Barrier curbs on several pedestrian crossings, the missing street, a parking we do not know if it will be widely used, a tunnel perhaps little used, a teleindicators who spends most days hanging that in use, a source quite vulgar we do not know if you run a couple of days in a row, the sculpture of modern art (so modern that few people understand or even notices it), the pyramids we do not know when they will disappear, the pavement to be nice but noisy the
pavements to be expensive but it is dirty forever, the trees that never again shall see, those who fell by the wayside ... This work, besides his many lies has had poor planning ... or maybe not. Perhaps the same contract signed millionaire knew from the beginning that neither the time nor the cost never be fulfilled. Perhaps the builders knew well that, after opening the "black hole" because there was no one in reverse and could continue asking for more and more money while driving at will the pace of the works taking hostage neighbors.
finished now.
Our intention was to criticize some facts and management. not believe we have crossed that line but if anyone has felt personally offended, we apologize for it . An apology which, incidentally, still waiting for our City Council for having troubled and spent (our money) twice promised. If Forrest Gump said stupid is what stupid says, anyone can who affirm that tells lies is a liar . What happens is that many do not believe the stupidity of those lies. And what we have. We wish to thank especially newspaper El Faro del Guadarrama ", where we got enough information and multiple photos that have helped us to develop some of our items, as has been the only half reported that these works critically, honoring the profession of journalism .
And, of course, thank you very much to all who have passed through these 500 days more or less frequently, which we have illustrated with their comments, their views, criticisms, with your data.
Farewell
A hug to everyone s
