Colorado Springs Colorado aspires to be like Somalia:
At Village Green Park, just off Carefree Circle on the city’s east side, weeds flourish, and stenciled onto a bathroom door: “Restrooms Closed Due to Budget Restrictions.”
“If you have kids who are potty trained, that’s a problem,” said Rachel Barker, 33, playing at the swings with her toddler. “There’s probably a lot of kids peeing in the weeds.”
Of the city’s 149 parks, only 15 are being carefully maintained by the city, and most of them are revenue-producing sports fields.
It is only a problem if you are potty trained?
Colorado Springs is fast becoming “Galts Gulch” where all the gifted go to pee in the weeds.
