I wish we had a poll with more specific options, e.g. "I support the city providing funds at the requested level"; "I support the city providing some funds, but less than requested"; "I support the city providing land but not funds"...
I think at this stage what I think should happen, if they're putting this complex on that West Village site, that the city can pay for remediation and put up the land for use for X period of time, but retain ownership of said land. Flames own the buildings and get free use of land until X time (which could be until their cost of construction is recouped, maybe).
I'm open to being convinced otherwise, just sort of spitballing about what makes sense to me.
