The reason they shouldn't deal with the reserve:
1) It hasn't worked for 50 years why would you think they will reach a deal this time.
2) The reserve option costs 1.5 billion dollars with 500 million just for the land.
The cut and cover method can get started right away and costs a third of that. It doesn't affect the resevoir or lakeview residents.
Even the lakeview option costs less than the reserve deal. I don't think there's any residents along the strip that are too opposed to the city buying their house at a premium. In my opinion it's the people further in the community that would get nothing that have an issue with it.
