re: The Costs of Stopping the Tram

I dare Lenny to show anyone any piece of anything that demonstrates it was the Tram that "leveraged" anything.

The 100s of milions if free infrastucture, sweeping zoning changes, TIF and LID funding did all the leveraging.

And the project estimates for all of the public improvement infrastucture were low balled and TIF revenue projects were inflated.

Now those improvements (in addition to the Tram) are way over budget, far behind schedule, underfunded by countless millions and the Current TIF revenue is insufficient to borrow more.

Not so for the private towers going up. They had solid budgets, reliable funding with strong managment and oversight.

Yet the PDC still claims things are on track and going as planned?
