[quote=Anonymous]Well, apart from the environmental impacts (see the dumping of blue paint. I would love to hear from Mark Ein about the amenities he is going to provide residents with his $25 million dollar budget (well, about 15 million after necessary repairs to the stadium.) Until then I have to assume that as a business owner, his main goal is to make a profit, which he will do by providing a venue for a tennis tournament. The needs of the residents are not a priority for either him or the Federal government.

A public private partnership with DC would have increased the chances that park would remain accessible to residents. It would have ensured that residents could provide input. There would have been a more thoughtful process (at least I hope).

This is rushed. There is no time for comments or for input.  The land will be under control of a private developer for 50 years.  Even if Mark Ein is a great guy who loves the city, what about the next owner?  Who will provide money for day to day maintenance ? What if the Citi tournament decides to leave and the stadium is no longer needed?  Does it become a Private Tennis Club?  Lots of questions but no time to get answers because the property will be transferred as of March 1st.

Stop trying to scare aware people who have questions and who want answers.   [/quote]
