DBBO thinking .... Volunteerism doesn't work... except when we do it.

Burlingame DBBO is exercising some surprisingly positive out
of the box thinking; like considering the use of CSM student resources, internships, in business and marketing departments. Although as of yet, none of these resources have been applied on downtown Burlingame.

Even though NO BID exists yet in Burlingame (and given the number of protests and mounting opposition collected so far, Burlingame BID will likely fail next month), DBBO efforts are at this point strictly VOLUNTEER. Interesting that one of justifications claimed by proponents and city council alike, for constructing a BID was "VOLUNTEERING DOESN'T WORK". except that it does.......and can.

Isn't that what they're doing now w/o a BID, VOLUNTEERING.

I wonder how DBBO can reconcile this fact ....
