So you’re frustrated that the city is taking the same approach as the flames?  |
They eventually will do that, if they continue to be stonewalled.
They won't build an arena without significant City support. It is a benefit for the city. If the city doesn't see a benefit, then it will never get built.
They tried to show the city how an arena benefits the city, but I don't think the city wants to acknowledge the truth, because this is a "fight".
CSEC has already backed down on West Village and they have shown a willingness to do East Village. But if the City sees no benefit then there is nothing to talk about.
