Nice touches with the Luzon U-pay, broken windows and potholes.

Nicely done and nice alliteration! (from the no-avatar person).

I like the three-panel set-up too, btw. Well done! Punchlines are no longer needed!

Thanks- and I believe that the Student Prince agrees!

If Ocryx and Joe can't figure out the city parking, how could the city council possibly do it? Afterall, they have the best vantage point.

btw, Since we apparently have a surplus of parking, instead of building a new parking lot for Davita, why didn't the city just let Davita use one ot the existing municipal parking lots for free or substantially reduced rates?

The Eric Anderson Memorial Parking Lot would have made a dandy rain garden with the state picking up the tab. But no, we have tear up Pacific Avenue to the tune of $3,000,000 we don't have so that a few select vacant storefronts can have a ditch placed in front. Only in a place like Tacoma would such a thing even be imaginable.

Luzon hole is a rain garden by default

Re: storefronts with raingarden ditches 
you could run a couple of timbers across the ditch for cars to drive up on.   A fellow could then crawl underneath to perform routine maintenance.  The return of street mechanics!

You could then drain your engine oil into the rain garden, which would be okay, because it would be like all filtered and stuff before it got to the waterway...

That works. The city could lease them out to quick lube shops.

@Jinx: are those rain gardens in panel #2?

Yes they are. As you can see, the first two are already supporting a mixed variety of native plant life.
