[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Downtown is dying. Vacancy rates are throw the roof, which are driving down property values which will mean radically lower property tax revenues, which will blow a giant hole in the city's budget. But, sure, let's focus on...[checks notes]...making buses free?

This is what it's like to be ruled by children.

Oh no! Did your favorite steakhouse close and now you have to pick from one of the remaining 7?  It must be really hard to be you now.[/quote]

This is just weird. So you're cool with an entire section of the city becoming a ghost town? And what happens to the city's budget when one of its main revenue sources dries up?[/quote]

You can hypothesize that all you want, but we've had surpluses for as long as I can remember.  Downtown isn't a ghost town except to fox news viewers, but that's your problem.[/quote]

Uh, what? Speaking of children. You're probably too young to know who Tony Williams is, and you certainly don't remember what D.C. was like before he was mayor, but here's Tony Williams saying the same thing: https://www.federalcitycouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Letter-to-CFO-Glen-Lee-on-Commercial-Property-Vulnerabilities-11.14.22-final.pdf[/quote]

And who are all the other co-signers? Commercial property owners, dealers, and developers. If you don’t take what they saw with an entire salt flat, please be in touch as I know of a Nigerian prince who desperately wants to make contact with you.[/quote]
