Milwaukee LGBT Center Money problems

Why am I not surprised that the LGBT Center has lost over $77,522 ? We do know that parking sucks even after 6PM, so what else has caused this gigantic loss? Could it be that the cost per Square Foot is too much? Or is it a combination of the two? Boys and Girls you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Face it, it is a terrible location. Like I said in my blog a few stories down, welcome to the School of Hard Knocks. Just like the failed Visioning Project, its always a bunch of community leaders with gigantic egos who think they know whats best for the community. NOT

The truth is that the space is too expensive and the parking is lousy. We're in a recession, remember? Besides who wants to park two blocks away and deal with all the drunk and rowdy college kids? You have to walk at least a block or two from the nearest bus stop. Don't expect many disabled people to drop in either. This is just east of the entertainment district (lots of bars, performing arts center, Pabst theatre). Project Q may not care, but the rest of us do. Too bad "I Told you so."

Just today the county Exec wants to slash several million dollars from the budget. I think grants are going to be hard to come by unless the economy picks up. That is not going to happen any time soon, you can bank on that. Don't even get me started with Obama's jobs program.
