And here I thought Tommy Haz was going to throw a monkey wrench into everything..

It's about time.
Lets hope this is the first domino, amongst many more, to finally have our city utilize its tremendous location and progress the city with more positive developments. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
From what I understand, this was just the committee approval and it gets to go in front of the city council next. Still a long way to go before it all actually happens.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

I think Lot J is a stupid idea, but I don't think giving Khan what he wants is a stupid idea. We would be idiotic to give Khan a reason to move the team right when things are turning around. We waste enough money on stupid stuff, what's a little more going to hurt? Maybe when downtown becomes a nice place to live, my kids can move there in 40 years when they turn 45.

Still a long way to go before it all actually happens. The vote was done as a Committee of the Whole which means the entire council votes but under committee procedures. So it was approved for official vote by the whole council. If they all vote the same way next week it will officially pass.
They approved it to go for a final vote, which is Tuesday. A handful of council members are still on the fence so it’s not a slam dunk (however it’s likely it passes).

...someone needs to do something with the downtown. If Shad wants to tackle it, let him.

What will lot J do to attract the 30 year Jacksonville resident on a random Saturday night in March? At the end of the day, downtown needs people living there to support and encourage retail and restaurants.
It's just not going to work. It'll be The Landing except you won't be able to walk from there to Friendship Fountain anymore.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

Someday we will have leadership that understands why downtown isn't working. Or, maybe we won't. (01-09-2021, 01:00 PM)mikesez Wrote: It's just not going to work.

People have resigned themselves from it and won't even consider patronizing new businesses that actually do open there. |
