I think this is a great way to give power back to the people! We should implement this locally.

I like direct democracy, but you'd need to set aside several days for people to vote, not just one night.

I don't think I would participate in this sort of system - I enjoy being a part of a Republic and electing leaders to do this sort of thing for me.

This system would only serve those who are loudest and have free time on their hands - not the majority of residents.

Is there a way to have some of the budget approved by a local council, and some of it approved by the people? Best of both worlds.

This is not an idea I care to consider.
