Boomtown Closes, Moves, Reorganizes.

Schadenfreude is not attractive.  They might just as easily ask how Boomtown has been doing.

I think finally there is a group of people who does.

And I think its because there has never been any attention drawn to it because the information has always been controlled by a group of people that are being paid to produce the opposite result of what has happened and that they have needed to covert their asses so badly that they have even gone to the extremes of redrawing 'downtown' maps to cover up their collossal failures.

That has changed, primarily because of blogs like this one.

It just needs to be reflected back to the decision makers.

In my experience, the bullshit coming from 'redevelopment' is so thick and so liberally applied that most of the council and none of the public has the first freaking clue what is actually going on.

In this case, I truly believe that the truth shall set us free.

8 years. Are we any closer today than we were before the crash? Laura St trio- still undeveloped. Barnett- same thing. Is it ANY easier today to redevelop properties downtown than in 07? Taking a look around I would say no.

There was a little snafu called the international financial crisis that sort of put a damper of things for 5 years or so there. Safe to say things would be much different today if it didn't happen. How short our memories are.

Don't disagree at all. My question (and sorry I didn't phrase it better) was more geared towards governmental procedure. Is it any easier today to open or renovate something downtown than it was in 07?
