    1. Reality is that the billionaires might make a some of money off of this type of project. But the the rest of us average middle class people get to enjoy the experiences, restaurants, and amenities that their expenditures provide. I love the restaurants and nightlife of Mass Ave and Fontain Square which wouldn’t be possible without this type of investment.

    1. Last I knew, an entity of Chuck Surack owned the 603 E. Wash building and adjacent parking lot. As a helicopter dealer and pilot, he ‘said’ he wasn’t interested in selling. With helipad closure eminent, I bet he has a $$ amount in-mind for a sale.

  1. I support investment and ambition in our city, but we need to do more for the day-to-day quality of life for downtown residents. We need to invest more in things like sidewalks, lighting, public spaces, and basic safety that are so neglected in this city.

    If we’re going to spend billions on massive sports and convention-related stuff, mostly for people who come down just for game days, or for a couple nights when they show up for the convention, then let’s not forget the people who actually live and work here, and support the tax base everyday (or will if we make it nicer). How about we dedicate a percentage of project costs or profits to non-sport civic improvements like better lighting, more trees, and pedestrian-oriented design. And for crying out loud – fix the potholes. The condition of our streets would be laughable if it weren’t actually so tragic how they damage tires and vehicles, and make pedestrians unsafe cuz we can’t even paint the zebra stripes that are standard for crosswalks in cities that would never even think of calling themselves “world class.” These are the things for the permanent residents already here and for those we want to attract and keep as contributing residents. These are things that help make the city a decent place so that people want to live and work downtown, not just visit it for a few hours or a couple nights.

    A city that time and again finds many hundreds of millions for stadiums without fail and for convention hotels can surely carve out a portion of that amount to make our neighborhoods safer, greener, and more livable. We have done plenty of pro-sports moves, and that’s great; how about some more “pro-city” for a change.
