Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2350105, member: 716"] To the last, I fear you're giving the politicians too much credit. They'll always be able to fail to meet the lowest expectations. On the buffer point, exactly. It's what many local pols didn't understand in the late '80s but nearly everyone does today: no matter how much investment occurs nearby, there's no curing the giant void created by the topography, infrastructure, and a mega-mall. Dumping the stadium at the farthest northwest corner and building a high-speed suburban arterial (with no sidewalks!) between the mall, train station, and stadium didn't help. They're going to have to revisit this mistake and find a new location on the downtown fringe (maybe south of Adams or Near West Side?) or near midtown. Hopefully before 2026. Bonus 'like' for your use of Piety Hill. [/QUOTE]
