It's crazy the city hasn't really done anything about this. Although as I have argued with you before I don't think taxpayer dollars should go to care of a cemetery when we have so many issues for living citizens in the city. I don't understand people's obsession with cemeteries. Dead people don't need anything. And I include Hollywood cemetery in that as well. Cemeteries are a complete waste of space and resources.

But the cemeteries are there, and are culturally and historically important. Either we dig everyone up and move them, which is not gonna happen, for lots of good reasons, so we need to take care of them, rather than let them fall into disrepair.

The Amityville Horror illustrates what happens when you build a subdivision over an inconvenient cemetery. 😋
