I live in Nassau County, and I swear to god, everyone here is willing to have a small tax hike to get this done. There are kids growing up north of Jax and south of Jax that love their location. Things are changing here, but we need to invest in it to make it better.

On top of that, the Jaguars are a huge draw. Everyone makes money off a small tax. It's the perfect investment for pennies on the dollar. As years go by, Jacksonville is only going to grow, while cities like Cleveland, Pittsburg, Buffalo will shrink. Our city, while kinda backwards in terms of infrastructure, is still growing and has so much beauty and coastal opportunity. Shad Khan is a great investor. I used to hate him. But he's patient. And that's the best thing for this city. His son needs to get his [BLEEP] together, but Shad has at least another 15 years as owner.

The city needs to start actually investing in renovations. There's so much opportunity if we can get rid of the boomers that resist progress. It's gonna be up to the voters. The deal needs to go through. The city will change, but it's a good thing. Honestly, I don't really care about investing into the city via taxation at this point. This city has so much potential. Invest!!! You invest in a city like this. You don't let it go to garbage.

There's so much opportunity here. I just don't know why people are not willing to really go full on. We could make Jax a "city of the future". There's so much space and there are so many people coming, why not get the best city planners and really build out a city we all can be happy to be within?

I don't know, man. I'm just talking out my fractured but whole.
