[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so tease that out. Metro doesn't exist in 4 years. There is an arena with events 220+ nights per year, many/most of them on weeknights.

Exactly how will people get there, given the location and lack of ability to expand any roads?

So given people won't attend, because it is so hard to get to, attendance (thus revenues from ticket sales) and concessions sales (due to lower attendance) do not meet the rosy projections that underpin the bonding for this project.

Guess who picks up the tab? The teams? No. Ted Leonsis? No. Glenn Youngkin? No.

Correct. And the taxpayers of Alexandria want and support this. Just like they wanted and supported the abolishment of single family zoning. And they are going to get what they want.

Alexandria taxpayers want to be saddled with a 3 billion dollar liability?[/quote]

Yes. Because their guy Wilson and the rest of city council told them everything is going to be great. No one will lose an election over this. Alexandria voters do exactly what they are told to do and believe by a guy who has a low level political patronage job at Amtrak. [/quote]

I just don't see the voters of Virginia going along with such an awful deal, but if they do, then they get what they deserve.[/quote]
