Sometimes you have cases of property owners wanting like 20 times what it's worth just cause maybe they can In that case I look at it as they don't want to move. Sucks for the city but the only choices there should be pay up or move the project. You're essentially forcing them from their home, they should be able to demand a payout. --- Joyrock/DSFlashlight/OctilIery <cite>RuneterranSnap posted [p:975168595] in Are you ok...

There's an economics professor at IIRC North Carolina who has made a career on studying the economic impact of publicly financed stadiums worldwide and yeah, it's no bueno. At best they break even. It seems, IMO to come down to some kind of low self esteem "civic pride" thing in order to "be on the map" that drives some places to fund these projects. And there are places funding stadiums every 10-15 years! --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:975168657] in Are you ok...
