The City of Ithaca’s City Council will meet tonight to try and do the impossible, swing further to the left.  That’s right! If Ithaca bucks, the Commons, Wal-Mart bomb scares, human-blood slinging war-protestors and city sponsored impeachment hearings for President Bush weren’t enough to convince you that Ithaca is the craziest place in upstate New York, the common council will sink to new levels of regulation as it imposes a year and a half moratorium on new building in College Town.

The move comes as part of a larger plan, and at the recommendation of an even smaller committee, the Common Council's Planning and Economic Development Committee or CCsPEDC. The committee is trying to create a C-town more in line with their new college town vision statement. (How can a town have a vision statement? Is a town Dunder-Mifflin?) What does this mean for future C-Town Residents? Fewer bars, less noise, less outdoor drinking, more police officers, more arrests for noise violations, less fun during orientation, slope day ect and more bike racks.

This sucks. Vote no on an 18 month construction ban!
