How's that Harvest Homecoming reform program coming along?

Back on October 13, 2013, I made an observation and asked a question.

ON THE AVENUES: Incompatibility City.

This lamentable conflict gets worse every year, and it can be mediated by only one entity: City government. After all, Harvest Homecoming takes place as it does, where it does, because the city allows it – not only that, but also subsidizes it. But downtown no longer provides a conveniently empty slate upon which Harvest Homecoming can deploy its own extractive business model to the detriment and marginalization of pre-existing, heavily invested, daily models.

City government simply must be active in brokering solutions, and yet no communication is facilitated. This year the rancor was at an all-time high.

Is anyone listening?

Four months have passed without a peep. In less than eight months, Groundhog Day will begin anew.
