HIGH POINT, NC affordable housing? Why not USE THOSE SEA CANS for low-cost housing?

Conservatives in High Point bemoan the "waste" of taxpayer dollars for subsidizing public-private housing.  At the same time an architect's suggested use of "SEA CANS" to creatively redevelop some parts of the downtown was roundly booed  right OUT of town.   Considering that this same city was historically proud of it's grimy, industrial, free market culture (and landscape) MUCH of which remains visible to this day but which the cultural/political elite prefers to paper over whenever possible, it's somewhat hypocritical when this city is also a major center of design at it's biannual International Home Furnishings Market to so energetically oppose any public architecture  which is "unconventional" or visually controversial (read; Un-Suburban)

THIS is what HIGH POINT NEEDS to find it's "soul" and be seen as a progressive GROWING , city which doesn't fear CHANGE!

SHIPPING CONTAINERS parade into the downtown twice a year it's where the "INTERNATIONAL" in International Home Furnishings Market  comes from!  Get the idea?  A stack of "sea cans" (used in ARCHITECTURE and Interior Design as well) is directly symbolic of this city's brand motto !! 

HERNIA POST-OPERATIVE PAIN solution - from your local DOLLAR STORES !!

AFTER JUST HAVING HAD HERNIA SURGERY recently, and the apparently, typical swollen, extremely, tender testicle that goes along with it and the problem of painful driving and exiting or entering my vehicle as well as many other chairs, I was seeking a "prosthesis" more effective than the hydrocodone pills the Docs wrote for me. 

 And most conveniently, I seem to have found just that at my local $1 dollar store.    This gel rubber squeeze toy when creatively adapted, seems to work,  so far wonders for sheltering my troublesome "gonad" from the 'trauma' of hard places and things that inevitably come into contact with it with disturbing frequency.   In fact it may give "rubber" an entirely new meaning!

STUPID AMERICANS HAVE NO IMAGINATIONS.

AMERICANS ARE STUPID - MOST HAVE NO IMAGINATIONS !! 

Here's simple proof: 

I'm a person who's had blood clots in both legs and thus has "CVI" damaged skin on my shins & calfs that tears easily and once torn can take months of expensive medical 'wound' care to fix properly so as not to become infected possibly resulting in an amputation of the limb!  The most obvious solution to this chronic condition in my superior (unAmerican?)mind is to PROTECT THE LOWER LEGS with a hard and or thick, wrap around foam or plastic guard type device like some of those used in sports like soccer or mountain biking!  Duh it's a NO BRAINER (maybe not for Americans?) But looking on many so called "medical" supply web sites and they are totally CLUELESS to this concept of prevention.  So off I must go to a sporting goods store somewhere to find a product riduculously over complicated for this simple use.  But I'm in Brainless America .... So OFF I must go.
