Yawn.

You've been gone for a while. You get temporary employment or something? I mean you've been posting under other people's names and stuff, but you haven't been on your usual bull shit tirade. Good to have you back.

Big city=shit happens.

Yawn.

Big city. Shit happens. Residents and businesses leave. Tax receipts plunge. Rinse. Repeat.

I hear that there are a couple of brothers up in the next county that will make you a sweet deal on some property.....

Yawn.

Rinse. Repeat.

Yawn.

Apr09 vs Apr08 = -12.45%
May09 vs May08 = - 7.85%
Jun09 vs Jun08 = -16.39%

Aug09 vs Aug08 = -12.31%
Sep09 vs Sep08 = -11.22%
Oct09 vs Oct08 = -19.94%

LOL.

How many years until HRI contributes direct tax revenues to Jackson's bottom line? 10 years!

ROFLMAO. Put the bottle down. Get off the sauce. Your brain is pickled.

Hey tard head, what's your point with the stats? That's completely in line with the national economy. It sux. Ain't a Jackson thing.

You'd be wrong dim whit. Jacktown's sales taxes have been tanking for years. Happens when the population and small businesses race for the exits. Good luck on your recovery.

Well that's a real newsflash. You are real phucking genius. The point, dimwhit, is that this comparing this year to last year in the context of the global economy is stupid.

Only if you are having a severe bout of ignorance. Get well soon.

This has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Auto burglaries? Really? Would have loved to see Rankin County crime stats when those kids from Brandon broke into 50 cars.

Without a doubt, Jackson is having challenges with its shinking sales taxes. We are down some 26% in the last 10 years. The difference here is that most Jacksonians are working very hard to address this issue, and it WILL turn around, bau there are other "small" people, inferiority complexed people like house mommy, who revel in negative news. I feel sorry for this guy. I really do.

Now let's return to the battlefield and make our Capital City all that she can, and WILL be.

He can return to his dark, lonely world.

@7:53AM. Dismissing crime as an inescapable byproduct of being a big city won't win the hearts and minds of any potential returnees in our suburbs. It will only reinforce their opinions that Jackson supporters are unresponsive to their concerns.

YAWN.

GOT ANY FRIENDS TO HANG OUT WITH THIS WEEKEND MOMMY?

Do you belong to ANY group of people with a purpose and value?

Methinks you are a VERY small little bitty nobody with an axe to grind with the world, as you know what a pathetic insignificant nothing you really are. You need a shrink....BADLY.

Luv these anonymous shoot outs KF. Funny.

Hey PUSSY, bring SOMETHING to the table. Jae zus effing C! Are you still scratching your head while you dream and wish for a life?

What do you bring to the table of the world, except a demented little world view of you dark little computer room. Loser.

We've got a billion in new investment downtown, and the racist shitheads are still on their vintage-1987 "the blacks have taken over and it's all going to hell" schtick. Don't bother telling them local trends correlate with national trends. If they were interested in the facts, they wouldn't be racist shitheads in the first place.

Amen @3:38. You hit the nail on the head.

A billion in new investment and zilch in new incremental tax receipts.

You are such a negative effing DUMBASS. You clearly do NOT know what you are talking about. Visit with the CMPDD, the HCEDD, the Jackson Chamber, DJP, the JCVB or the MEC and discuss the long term property tax increase implications, traffic count increases, projected sales tax increases....on and on I could go, that all of these projects are birthing. Does it happen NOW?

Of course not DUMBASS, just like the taxes generated at the Renaissance didn't happen overnight, with the TIF bonding and the infrastructure requiremaents to make the project[s] unfold.

You can't stand it. You are LOSING. RACIST. The city is coming back, and you can't STAND IT.

Are you going to the KLAN rally today at Ole Miss today too?

Long term implications? LMAO. Your wet dreams are going to turn this around?

Jackson population (decrease):
1980-1990 = -3.1%
1990-2000 = -6.3%
2000-2008 = -6.6%

2000-2010 = -7.1% (projected)

*all data per US Census Bureau*

I'm somewhat disappointed that you haven't launched into your rant how Mississippi is going to lose another congressional seat if we don't double-down on downtown ASAP.

Jackson may be coming back but using the metrics that matter you can't prove it.

Everyone knows we have been losing population. We have averaged losing 10 people a DAY since 1980.

Point is, many people are working hard to turn this trend around, and it will take time, and we will SUCCEED.

Mississippi DID lose a congressman last census, but won't this one. Jackson IS returning, as evidenced by a waiting list for apartments downtown, and 135 or so coming online in the King and the Standard within the next 8 months.

I am clueless as to what you are talking about in your next to last paragraph.

In the meantime, lose your mean streak, or explain whatever point you are attempting to make about Jackson's future.

Do you WANT Jackson to fail, and for all of those committed to Jackson to quit and become an continual whiner like yourself?

For the life of me, other that a rant against black people, I do not understand your point.

It's a rant against black people, and that IS their point. But they'll never admit it.

Yawn... still waiting on those overall metro stats.

Which metro stats? The Business Week Magazine [October] ones that named Jackson the 11th soundest economic metropolitan area in the country, or the Fortune Magazine [March] ones that said Jackson was the 11th best metro area in the country to START A BUSINESS [think tax revenues]?

Yawn.

If there are crime stats online for the other areas, let me know and I will post them.

Otherwise, enjoy the scrum.

I heard that Sherriff McMillian's car got broken into at "New Stage Theatre". You know, while he was involved in acting in his PLAY.Was it listed in the stats?

Yawn... still waiting on those overall metro stats.

Friend this is OLD news. It even gets worse when the school taxes are added in. The Jackson Chamber even has a study on this and the 30.1% of tax free properties endured in the city, a graph of the # of tax free state owned properties [804] in 1998 up to 1840 today. The $25,000 study was paid for by DJP, so these issues can be illuminated and addressed.

We will be glad to send you a copy.

We have Federal Highways [51 and 80] maintained by the taxpayers of Jackson, in our city limits, but by the state and feds as soon as they leave our corporate limits.
Please call the Chamber in seeking solutions....948 7575... and get involved. Ask for Cynthia.

We would love to have your help and commitment.

Chamber Guy @ 11:25 a.m.

WHY ARE YOU NOT IN CHURCH? [God knows you could use it]

Yawn.

if Chamber Guy needs to get into Church then LMAO at the loser needs to get into rehab. Sheesh.

A customer leaving a north Jackson restaurant was shot this evening during an attempted armed robbery.

About 5:40 p.m., a man was walking to his vehicle after leaving the Ruchi India Restaurant, 5101 I-55 North, Jackson police spokesman Joseph Daughtry said.

Daughtry said the customer was approached by another man in the parking lot who demanded the victim’s briefcase.

The customer was shot in the upper body after refusing to give the gunman the briefcase.

Yawn [on steroids]

Wow.....I feel like I'm reading the Clarion Ledger...

@8:02, Are you happy?

Yawn ad infinitum.

Jackson is the 9th most dangerous city in America in the latest QR Press rankings...you won't hear nary a peep from the good old Chamber or DJP about that.

3:05 is a pussy. He's probably afraid to go out at night without his wife escorting him.

9th when burglary is included. 10th in the southeast [out of 20 cities] in the big 6 felony crimes.

Still not good, but misdemenor burglary should NOT be included in the "dangerous" context.

3:05 is a little useless nobody. Ignore him.

PEOPLE. This is the BIG CITY. We're going to have CRIME. It is ALWAYS going to be with us. BIG CITY SHIT HAPPENS. Get used to it. TOLERATE it. ACCEPT it. EMBRACE it. Look PAST it. Cars and houses will be BURGLARIZED. People will be ROBBED, CARJACKED, RAPED and SHOT. Some will DIE. Get OVER it. Jackson, Mississippi has HIGH LEVELS of CRIME. That is the WAY IT IS.

http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/23/most-dangerous-cities-lifestyle-real-estate-dangerous-american-cities.html

Please see above Fortune Magazines 15 most dangerous cities. Jackson did not make the list. Baton Rouge, Little Rock, Memphis and NOLA did. "Burglary" is BAD, and crime here is NOT good, but relativity and accuracy is important

The reality of Jackson crime is part of the shared sacrifice all of us in the metro area are required make in order to help our communities grow and prosper.

The suburbs can't flourish without Jackson and Jackson can't flourish without the suburbs.

For the greater good of everyone in the metro, Jacksonian and suburbanite alike, we must all in time take our turns as victims of Jackson crime.

United we stand, divided we fall.

You'll never fully enjoy the good life of the suburbs if you won't present yourself as a sacrificial Jackson crime victim.

Hey pussy, leave.

Yawn (x3).

Any idiot can write a ranking based on FBI crime stats, which the FBI cautions people not to do because they're not effective for that purpose.

And if your idea of "dangerous" is burglary and auto theft...
