Yeah, and the Flames argument is, that if you get a nice district with a hotels, an office building, retail, those property taxes and other economic benefit from developing an area that exists and is used whether there is an event or not, will more than pay the city the property tax $ the Flames are asking for from the city as a partner. West Village or East Village...and the East Village has taken decades (remember the concepts of waterways?) and many interations and it’s still the Bell Music Center and....?
