tucson prehistoric human bones found under planned parking lot, and locals are saying what I’ve been screaming for years: common sense is dead.
My jaw hit the floor when I saw this—apparently, workers digging a new parking lot at a strip mall off Oracle Road stumbled on a massive pile of ancient human bones, and the city is now holding up construction for "indefinite archaeological review." Meanwhile, the potholes on Ina Road are swallowing compact cars whole, and our property taxes just went up again. But sure, let’s spend six months hovering over a bunch of skeletons that have been dead for a thousand years.
Look, I get it—archaeology is important or whatever. But where’s the common sense? You literally found fossilized ribs and a skull near a Pizza Hut. It’s not like we’re talking about a sacred burial ground from some lost civilization. My grandfather’s grave at Evergreen Cemetery is less disturbed than these bones, and nobody’s blocking traffic for that. Meanwhile, our kids are playing soccer on cracked fields with broken lights.
The real crime here? That parking lot was supposed to be finished by Black Friday so we could park for the TJ Maxx. Now the whole project is on hold, probably for years, and taxpayers are footing the bill because some construction guy sneezed on a prehistoric femur. Tell me again how this is good for our community. Use your head!
