You stated you were tired of people complaining and the complainers should leave?
Well, weren't you just complaining about the complainers yourself? When are you leaving?

To CB LIFER....residents and voters like you are part of the problem with Coos & North Bend, you are perfectly happy living in a town that is falling apart. You can't see the dirt, grime, mold and poverty all around you. You are blind to the blight that is Coos County. You probably are one of those people that wear their pajamas around town as well.....classy
P.S. I dont like it here and I am moving from this dump!!!!

What a lie. When did Keith Riley in 2001 say this building was substandard? Thats false information.
The fact is the cities building inspector and manager at that time both inspected that building in 2001. They wrote a report stating the building was substandard and needed to be closed down.
Of course when the information got into other hands it was "forgotten" and never addressed again until now.
Maybe the city manager needs to be talked to a bit more? If I was duped into buying that that building I would be pursuing legal action right now.

I feel bad for the new owner, he should sue the City, his realtor, the owners of the building and anyone else involved in this scam.
The city knew perfectly well in 2001 that the building was substandard and even addressed it back then. But quickly the substandard issue was all swept under the table, never mentioned again because of who owned it, their connections and $$$ of course.

Both towns have idiots, both towns have no money. Why? Due to the fact NO ONE wants change, doesn't want to clean up so that these towns, and bring more people, new things, and jobs to the area. These towns have been dying and continue to die, and no one in there right mind want to spend money here. Why ? Cause people what to keep the area as is... Depressed and Trashy. And when they get money they spend it, on things that later don't get taken care of.
There are buildings in BOTH cities that need money to fix and bring up to code, but no one wants to spend the money and the tax players aren't going to pay for it. they pay for enough stupid things.

Boy thats the truth, all idiots in both cities, can't get anything done but have studies done by out of town firms to tell us what to do with our towns. Put your own heads together and come up with a plan you idiots that run the cities and the county too.

This isn't the only building in the down town that is a safety concern. Look around and you'll see one building where corners are beginning to collapse. The street is moving near it's foundation also. Liquifaction wasn't a concern when most of these building went it. Large truck traffic over the years has caused a settling to occur. Looks like we inheritied a money pit.

Another person scammed. When will the justice department ever get enough people on staff to stop this kind of activity. It would be interesting to find out how much was gathered from "investors" by Mr. Mountain.

Yeah, well, at least Coos Bay is "working the problem" and has a schedule.
If this were North Bend, their leadership would be wrestling with the idea of passing ordinances requiring others to copy the same sad state of disrepair.
