Quote:I'm pretty sure Khans plan included leaving most of the really bad land untouched other than green space. If they don't dig that up the cost will be significantly less than the numbers mentioned before.

There's still cleanup that's going to be required, and someone needs to pay for it.  The city benefits from getting this land on the books to generate tax revenue for the city.  The mixed use plan has always allowed for a ton of green space, but with housing, retail, hotels, and some sort of attractions to bring people down there.  It's amazing that this land has been sitting there vacant for literally decades.  This is prime real estate that SHOULD be developed.
