Although Stosh and I are usually on opposite sides of most issues, I must say that I agree with him on this one. I do not see any anger in his post. Some of us on this forum grow weary of the parade of Pollyanna, Hipster Doofuss, or pie in the sky - head on the sand unrealistic fantasy posts.

Stosh was just trying to introduce a bit of reality to the conversation. Namely, if the original poster thinks it is such a great idea then he or she should put together a business plan and raise the necessary capital to start such a venture.

The original poster was trying initiate the conversation. Why is it a requirement that when someone starts a thread with an idea, they must actually put together a business plan. Do you take DetroitYES that seriously?

It's a shame, there's plenty of websites out there where people post about issues or wants in their neighborhood and they don't get the kind of backlash and rude behavior I see here. A coffee shop is not a "pie in the sky" proposal It's not a 500 foot statue or resurrection of the original Book Tower. Be constructive or don't post.
