At last minute, North End group gets permission to plant 10,000 daffodil bulbs on Greenway

Daffodils? Those are the iceberg lettuce of flowers. EW. Ah well better than nuthin.

Enough of all the pretty plants, trees, bushes, shrubs, lawns and other forms of "nature." If the Greenway needs to be prettied up more why not just buy a bunch of plastic flowers and stick them everywhere? All this work of planting things that grow and die is a terrible waste of space and money.

Folks in Dorchester have it right. Cover yards with asphalt leaving thin border of dirt. Plant plastic flowers but keep out the grubby plastic flower pickers with plastic fences.

Before you know it people will demand trees, argue for yet more bushes, will even want to grow vegetables growing in the city. Worse they will start demanding things like clean and quiet spaces where there are no loud cell phones play hip-hop, cars with screaming horns when they're locked or unlocked, motorcycles that shake buildings with their boom or people yelling in the cell phone about the @#$#@%$ neighbor.

Don't people know this is a city? What we need more of is asphalt, concrete, trash, noise and all the crap that goes with not caring about where you live.
