Forest City has never been popular, but suddenly that lack of popularity has reached a new low. In fact, Forest City’s current approval rating of 13% is below the current approval rating of the US Congress of 15%. To put that in perspective, the current do-nothing US Congress is essentially made up of a bunch of racist white guys whose only real accomplishment was getting re-elected. But, somehow, this Congress has left Forest City in its dust. “It’s a really big thing for us,” said US Congress Woman Michele Bachman (R). “To not be the most hated organization in the United States is great. It may take some pressure off of us so that we can actually get something done. Probably not, but it could happen.”
Several things have caused Forest City’s decline to the bottom of the popularity barrel. Most recently, Forest City has handed the keys to the Eastbridge town center over to King Soopers. Other gaffes include a 15% finished 26th Ave. Park, allowing several through streets to Aurora, and its inability to live up to original diversity promises. “I think this has been building for a long time,” said Stapleton resident Tom Hodges. “They keep making mistake after mistake, and then handling it poorly PR-wise.”
The negative side effect of the new information is that Congress feels they are simply getting more popular. “The numbers don’t lie, and we are climbing,” said Congressmen Mitch McConnell. “There is no other way to interpret the numbers than to say that Republican congressman are leading us out of the depths of unpopularity.” That probably isn’t the case, but these racist old white dudes did find a way to become more popular than Forest City.
