Money under the table and a few quid pro quo's for sure.

Selfishly it's going to be nice to have another section of DC that will be modern and vibrant. I took my son to a couple of 20 somethings bars outside of Nats Park last year. Can't believe how different that area is. In the 90s, that was an area you avoided at all costs.

Yep, the environs around the old RFK could use some $$$ no doubt.

Sad reality of big development is the impact it will likely have up front for the poor/low income families currently ekeing out an existence in the area now. Wish there was some way to concurrently aid these folks in someway - cuz you know big biz land grabs will be in a frenzy

Exactly....that's why I said selfishly. Hopefully they will be able to meet them halfway somehow.

Unlikely - greed knows no bounds and we well know how power corrupts

Property tax will probably skyrocket.

You know people could simply say that taxpayer dollars should go to another use rather then building a luxury stadium. Is that selfish? Or is it looking out for taxpayers? I will certainly concede. That this stadium the public financing is way lower then others ( 25%) however 800 mil is 800 mil

Now add to it that the common folk are priced out of seating and I would say exactly who is being selfish ?

I would like to see it worked out perhaps by govt loan ?

I was the only one in this thread to use that word. Don't double down. Just admit you misread my post.
