In all honesty, $8 million in public financing for what has been proposed? Four of the most historic buildings being revived? That is $2 million a piece? My friends, the amount I see in property taxes increasing DT is worth it alone and we are talking about HISTORY with mixed use public access, not just giving money to build a brand new condo.
The same could be said for Berkman 2. DIA turned down a $5M request by the developer to complete the project. What would a highrise full of young people do to the core, the elbow, and the growth of the tax base? As it is, DIA continues to play small ball with tiny grants to highly dubious start ups. Clearly, we need more taxes, more spending, a committed City Council, and a Mayor who cares more about downtown development than his next election and next career in Hillary's cabinet.
