Yeah because having a healthy retail facility that offers a wide array of shopping, food, and entertainment options is bad for the community.
I understand the motivations to keep a new facility near campus and investment in a depressed part of town, but prioritizing those goals is going to lead to a suboptimal user experience.
I get that. It's a philosophy of drawing more people to the mall or continuing the revitalization of downtown in concert with our best asset, our University. Syracuse University is the future of Syracuse the city. You want young professionals to stay and breathe life into the city, continue this progress.
Suboptimal user experience is relative to the user. There should not be a disconnect from campus. This isn't a pro sports town. It's a college sports town. No manufacturing is coming. We should do what is best to continue to connect our city to the University. It's our future.
Let's keep our mall and our incredible University separate. Please?
