I have a sinking feeling Prop A will fail. If it does fail, Adler should just rent out the airport to fund a portion of this. I feel this will kill or stunt downtown to a level it might not be able to recover from for a very long time.... not to mention the rest of the city!
A sale of the airport isn't a good idea but privatization is. Last August the Atlantic Monthly published a story on this.
Privatizing Airports Is a No-Brainer...Cities should sell their airports to close gaping budget holes.

The article stresses using the funds to pay off debt but in our case it could be used to promote transportation issues.
