Money might not be the root of all evil, but its starting to look like
the root of most problems in Modesto at least. If I had all the money in
the world, people living in the often times forgotten parts of Modesto
wont’ have to move or declare their own city-hood. That’s something! No,
actually, they would. Declare city-hood that is. In fact, I would buy a
whole chunk of Modesto and fix it up nice and pretty. I would buy all
the houses and renovate. Then I would turn around and rent the houses
back to the people. They’d get to live in a nice private city where
everything looks good. They’ll be happy I’m sure. Or they can leave.
That’s always an option, even in my power fantasies.
