Stephen, I wasn't talking to you

and since you're always one to parse words, I never said there were 56,000 in the downtown core...I said there was something around that number in the downtown area (which includes Brooklyn, LaVilla, Stadium, and Southbank areas) with 18,000 of them in the northbank core.

You and your buddy claimed the number was closer to 7,000.....which years later still remains an unfounded claim.

did you notice that the post above wasn't from me?

Of course I did.  It correctly listed the number of people downtown at the time.  Obviously it wasnt your post.  You went on within the thread to argue that there were 56 thousand people in the core.

Hogwash, you claimed 29k on the northbank core. I quoted you a page ago. Not coincidentally, right above where I posted that picture of the "Fantasy Land: Under Construction" sign. And the true figure is indeed <10k, so we were a lot closer than your rosiest or rosy estimaflations.

and just to follow up on my previous post.....2005 employment figures for San Marco and the Southbank combined are about 11,000....the downtown core alone (Jefferson to Liberty and Beaver to the river) has over 29,000

plus Stephen...you mentioned the Dalton Agency in San Marco area....aren't they the ones moving downtown who forced Boomtown out?

and as the quote on the page says, that number was based on Census, InfoUSA (and Florida ES-202) figures for 2005....not those from DVI, JEDC, and the like from 2007-2009.

now yes, these sources have their flaws...for example, from what we can tell, every City employee was addressed to City Hall in those figures, regardless of where they actually were stationed.

but at least I based the claims on published sources....you've just used conjecture

that said, I have to now go and make a living.....riding buses all day and asking people what they really think (vs. assuming)
