One of the things I love about this place are the flowers everywhere and the care given to the public areas. Some people are more "visual" than others.

Sometimes I love the choices made more than other times but I have never not liked them. They are a joy to see.
The economy did NOT just cycle NATURALLY and prices went up. It was the disease that has slowed down transportation - even goods from China, Mexico, and Canada. It was an UNnatural, outlier-type of event that affected the US and the world's Economy. It has affected even the cost of flowers and the manpower (people power) costs to change old ones and plant new ones.
