[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of derision in here from armchair economists. I get that’s what this place is all about, but it’s still amazing folks think their side is the only one worth considering.

Folks who have watched how things work for a minute know this project is going ahead. Can’t wait to head to my first concert there in about four years.  [/quote]

I dislike this project, but totally agree with you, it's going to happen. [/quote]

Whether it happens or not, no one knows.  But I know that I will not attend Caps or Wizards games at PY.  Not worth 80-90 minutes of travel time each way.

Ted doesn't care if you go or don't go, he's getting a free entertainment district, and [b]he probably figures there'll be enough new fans in Virginia to replace any of us from D.C. or Maryland who don't want to deal with the mess[/b].[/quote]

This is laughable.

PY is not more accessible to most Virginia fans - the blue/yellow lines are too far removed.

It's only accessible to Alexandria and Arlington, and most residents there do not want the arena in the first place. You think nearby residents want to support something that is effing up their neighborhood?

This whole plan is a disaster. The people will not come. We will all be financially burdened. [/quote]

Ted doesn't care about any of that, because he won't be on the hook for the cost of any of this.[/quote

If the bond financing is backed by the full faith and credit of  Virginia like Youngkin proclaims, every single tax dollar collected by Virginia is on the hook. You, me, people in NOVA, people in Richmond, Hampton Roads, Roanoke Valley, horse country, the mountains, every single dollar from every where.[/quote]
