You included a lot of detail to show why the residents are so opposed. <br /><br />I hope all homework is done (and explained) before any decision is made for the borough and its people.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125499557380737134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362851313652682773.post-90399832481790473672010-10-23T13:09:18.554-07:002010-10-23T13:09:18.554-07:00Put me in the camp that see stadiums, in general, ...Put me in the camp that see stadiums, in general, as a net loss for a community. There may be exceptions, and certainly for a large city they make some sense, but usually (and Orlando is a great example of that) they socialize the costs and privatize the benefits.<br /><br />For those that expect to rake in the benefits, it's a large incentive to push this through and it usually works if the opposition remains diffuse and unorganized.<br /><br />Err... good luck.Mikeyhttp://muchedumbre.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362851313652682773.post-78119860681325363502010-10-22T07:29:26.562-07:002010-10-22T07:29:26.562-07:00Andy, what a GREAT, detailed, and thoughtful blog ...Andy, what a GREAT, detailed, and thoughtful blog post. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it all down. I'm surprised to hear that the stadium folks haven't done their homework, since I know that there's a fierce debate about whether stadiums are a net gain or a net loss to the local economy, with some Important Economists offering convincing arguments on both sides.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing more about this -- and thanks so much for going!John Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079076269204477440noreply@blogger.com
